TAUNTON Carnival tonight. ROAD CLOSURES AND TRAFFIC DIVERSIONS. CASTLE Street will be closed to traffic between the entrance to Tangier and Castle Street car parks as will Tangier Way down to Lidl car park from 2pm to allow all the entries to assemble and get ready for the evening’s show. Access to Tesco and Lidl will not be affected, but Enfield car park will be closed all day. The town centre will be closed at 6.30pm so the procession route can be cleared of traffic before the crowds move in to line the pavements. Through traffic is directed away from the centre to keep it moving and to keep a clear access to Musgrove Park Hospital. Two diversions keep traffic moving around the outside – from the east along Bridgwater Road, Ilminster Road and Chestnut Drive; and from the west using Park Street, The Crescent, Mary Street, South Road and Chestnut Drive or Silk Mills Road, Greenway Road and Priorswood Road. No vehicles will be able to leave Wood Street, Yarde Place, Haydon Road or Victoria Gate on to the route while the procession is taking place, between 6.30pm and around 9pm. There will be an alternative route out of the Wood Street area via Cleveland Street and French Weir Recreation Ground. The annual illuminated procession moves off at 7pm from the bridge in Tangier Way, down into Wood Street, turning right into Bridge Street, going through the town centre into East Street and down over East Reach. The public performance and judging ends at the junction with Wordsworth Drive.
