Bridgwater has been one of the busiest construction locations in the South West for a decade. The nuclear power station being built on the coast at Hinkley Point routes its freight, park-and-ride buses and workforce accommodation through the town, and the former ordnance factory near Puriton has been cleared and serviced as a very large industrial campus, now the site of a battery plant. Both put exceptional volumes of heavy traffic onto local roads.
Junctions 23 and 24 of the M5 sit at either end of the town, each with distribution centres and business parks beside them, and the A38 and A39 run through the centre. On top of the major projects there is a steady stream of housebuilding and commercial development needing ordinary site sweeping.
Coverage in and around Bridgwater
Operators attending Bridgwater generally also serve North Petherton, Puriton, Woolavington, Cannington, Highbridge and Burnham-on-Sea, and can be asked about the A39 towards Nether Stowey and Street. Demand from the large projects means vehicles are active in the area, but it also means diaries fill, so availability is confirmed for each request.
