RAIL passengers arriving in Taunton will be able to walk or cycle towards the town centre along a new, quicker route from the spring. A link from the station will cross Trenchard Way and connect to Canal Road, where it will meet up with the temporary boulevard on Firepool, which was laid out for last year s Cricket World Cup. The former Great Western Railway building off Canal Road is being converted into a site office for the redevelopment of the location of the former livestock market, which closed 13 years ago. Somerset West and Taunton Council s full council heard on Tuesday that the authority is creating its own company (SPV) to help deliver some of the other commercial elements of the redevelopment, which includes homes, shops, offices, a cinema, bars and restaurants.
