Scope
Description
Taunton Town Council, working in collaboration with the Taunton Branch of the Royal British Legion, Taunton Minster and Somerset Council, will host a series of commemorative events in support of the annual festival of Remembrance. These events will be promoted through social media and traditional press communications. Members of the public will be encouraged to participate.
Having reviewed the traffic management plans for Remembrance Sunday used in previous years (a series of rolling road closures) with Avon and Somerset Police we are looking to commission a traffic management company to assist with a proposed upgraded set of hard road closures, isolating Taunton town centre and to include hostile vehicle mitigation.
