SOUTH SOMERSET NEWS: Ilminster motorists beware – Ditton Street to be closed

ESSENTIAL gas works will mean one of Ilminster’s most important town centre streets will be closed for several days later this year.

The Yeovil Press has heard that Wales and West Utilities have announced that the works will take place and need the closure of Ditton Street from September 8-11, 2015.

A spokesman for Wales and West Utilities has said the diversion route will be clearly signed for the duration of the works.

It means drivers who use Ditton Street from the Market Square to access the Tesco store car park or travel on to Listers Hill or Orchard Vale and Canal Way will now have to take the longer route round via Silver Street, West Street, Station Road, Riec-Sur-Belon Way and Canal Way.

Ditton Street has been closed for periods in the past for work and it has caused problems for shoppers and traders as it cuts the town in half.
