Transforming Bridgwater town centre

Celebration Mile

Sedgemoor District Council (SDC) is delivering Celebration Mile—a route through town from Bridgwater Station to the docks that promotes active travel—as part its long-term plan to regenerate Bridgwater town centre. The transformational scheme was identified in the town investment plan as part of the council’s vision between now and 2050.

Our team has worked on the regeneration of Bridgwater since 2018 and is well versed in the vision SDC has for the community. This established relationship led to Stantec being appointed through Perfect Circle to deliver the work under an Option G contract.

Celebration Mile encompasses several connected regeneration projects. Our team was appointed to deliver Angel Crescent, Clare Street, and Eastover. All are transport-led schemes with a focus on encouraging active travel measures. We are working from feasibility and planning through to delivery, providing services ranging from transport planning to infrastructure design to secure funding and consents. 

Eastover, Angel Crescent, and Clare Street have all now received planning consent. Ultimately, these projects will provide new places to eat and shop while highlighting the importance of the surrounding conservation area.
