On Thursday 24 July, the Mayor and Mayoress of Taunton, Councillor and Ms Durdan, unveiled a new Town Centre Map for Wiveliscombe, located in Croft Way Car Park.
The Map shows local shops, businesses and services and is the culmination of a project run by the 10 PBG Retail subgroup, chaired by Heather Harvey (The Bear / Wivey Larder) over the last year.
Surveys and research had shown that retailers felt this was an important priority to help new visitors discover the range of businesses and services available in Wivey.
The Map itself was designed by Derek Reed (Silvermaze) who is a member of the marketing subgroup and designs maps for councils and businesses right across the UK and very generously designed the map on an entirely voluntary basis.
The Street Map was been on display in the library for some time during the consultation process.
As a result of Heather’s and Derek’s voluntary work, the Street Map has been provided at no cost to local retailers and here they both receive a Card thanking them for their efforts.
Thanks too to Taunton Deane Economic Development and Car Park teams, who provided invaluable support.
A second copy of the Street Map will also be provided in the North Street car park, very soon.
