AN EMERGENCY road closure will be in place in Ilminster today (October 28).
The closure on Court Barton started at midnight and will last until 11.59pm to allow Wessex Water to carry out works to renew a stop tap.
A message published by Ilminster Town Council on its website read: “Please be aware that we have received a notification of a TTRN (urgent / emergency) road closure at Court Barton, Ilminster, will commence on 28th October 2022 – 28th October 2022 (00:00 – 23:59) for a total of one day.

A Wessex Water spokesperson said: “We need to renew a stop tap outside a customer’s property on Court Barton, Ilminster, and due to the narrow width of the road, we have had to apply for a section of Court Barton to be closed on 28 October for the day for the job to be completed safely. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.”
