Re road closure between Timberscombe and Dunster.

The following information has been taken from an article published on the Wootton Courtenay website:

“…I have been informed that the road closure will only operate on weekdays. Also, from Wednesday 12th May, there will be a traffic light system operating during the evening hours on the relevant stretch of the A396 until the work is finished.

I am so sad to announce that Tony passed away peacefully at his home

in Timberscombe aged 81 years on 28th April 2021.

Due to covid restrictions, a closed funeral service will be held on 21^st May at Taunton Crematorium.

If you would like to view a live webcast please contact Hedley Price for the link.

Road Closure

The road from Timberscombe to Dunster will be closed again from Monday (10th May) until Friday 28th May, due to ‘structural works’ by Somerset County Council. The closure will be just after Duddings Holiday Cottages on the A396.

If you enjoy backing up narrow lanes and squeezing your car past other vehicles, you could try taking the nearest alternative routes via Knowle Lane or through Wooton Courtenay (not appreciated much by the WC residents!).

However, the best option would be avoid going to Minehead during this period or taking the scenic route over Dunkery.
