A PLOT of land acquired by South Somerset District Council could ease Crewkerne's parking headache.

A decision was taken to bid for the former Millers Garage site at auction.

In a report to the executive committee, senior land and property officer Diane Layzell said: “SSDC has a car parking strategy which has identified a number of car parking provision shortfalls in the district.

“There is little land available in the town centre of Crewkerne but the site believed to be a site with potential to alleviate this shortfall.”
