Proposal for 20mph zone in Burnham-On-Sea town centre set to be considered
Proposals for a new 20mph zone in Burnham-On-Sea town centre and changes to traffic flows are among the plans set to be considered by town councillors next week.
The Town Council is considering starting a public consultation exercise regarding potential changes in Burnham High Street and surrounding shopping streets.
The proposals include introducing a 20mph zone in Burnham town centre to make pedestrians, cyclists and mobility scooter users feel safer; and making the High Street from College Street to Abingdon Street ‘access only’.
Cllr Phil Harvey will present the proposals at the Town Council’s Town Improvements Committee meeting on Monday, July 12th.

Public toilets at Burnham-On-Sea’s Crosses Penn, next to the Manor Gardens, are set to open all year-round following a decision by Town Councillors.
The facilities are currently only open for six months a year, but several local residents have approached town councillors to request increased opening of the toilets.
Cllr Phil Harvey said during the latest council meeting: “A number of members of the public say they wish the toilets would be open for the whole year. I think increased usage is likely because of the new play area, increased numbers of people taking recreational exercise during the pandemic, and the changing climate.”
