The A38 Taunton Road, in Bridgwater, is closed in both directions today (Sunday 4 August) following a serious collision.

The road is closed from the Huntworth Business Park roundabout and the Showground Road/Stockmoor Drive roundabout while emergency services are on the scene.

Motorists are advised to seek an alternative route and we would like to thank them in advance for their patience and understanding at this time.

Tim's Cameras last day in Bridgwater.

We are sorry to say that today (friday 19th Jan) is Tim of Tims Cameras last trading day.

Tim is a well known face on our High Street, after trading for over 20 years, the last eight of which he has been at his premises in 63B High Street.

Tim says ' it has been a wonderful 20 years but due to ill health it is time for me to finally put me feet up'.

Tim will be moving to the Dorset coast with his family at the end of this month.

Good luck Tim, thanks for everything, we hope you enjoy the sea and sunshine in Dorset!
