I, like many of you, will have received the following letter from Wessex Water >>>
Dear Customer
Our Reference: 064431231001
Notification of Road Closure: Bishops Hull Road, Bishops Hull, Taunton
(Map above)
We’re carrying out essential work on the water supply network in your area overight from 8pm on Monday 28 September 2026. This will involve closing the road to all through traffic for one night only to ensure the safety of the public and our staff. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
How will the work affect you?
We’ve included a map with this letter which shows where the road is closed, where the work is taking place (red line) and the diversion route (blue dotted line).
Alternative routes will be clearly signposted, and every effort will be made to maintain pedestrian access through the works. Please speak to our on-site team with any specific access requirements.
If you live where we are carrying out work, you will still have pedestrian access to your property.
We may need access to the street to the front or side of your property. There may also be some noise whilst the work is carried out, every effort will be made to keep disruption to a minimum and complete the essential work as quickly as possible.
You can continue to use your water supply services as normal unless we tell you otherwise.
