The regeneration plans for Taunton brought classroom studies to life for a group of geography students from Bishop Fox's Community School who recently visited the sites. Using Taunton as a real-life case study for their GCSEs, the Year 11 students were taken on an educational tour by the team at Project Taunton who are managing the ambitious redevelopment of the town.

The Project Taunton team, which is tasked with managing the physical, economic and social regeneration of Taunton, has been strengthened with the recent promotion of Robbie Lowes to the role of project coordinator and the appointment of Michelle Sawyer as an administrative assistant.

The regeneration of Taunton is underway and exciting changes will be taking place over the coming years. To keep the public abreast of developments, the Project Taunton team are encouraging people to visit Urban Designer's (LDA Design of Exeter) exhibition in the Old Market Centre on Friday 3 and Saturday 4 November where some of the plans will be on display and opinions from the public will be sought.

The official start of Taunton's much anticipated regeneration takes place this week as the Firepool area of the town is launched onto the open market. Creating a great place to live and work in Taunton, the site - which includes the Livestock Market and Priory Bridge Road car park - is expected to be an exemplar of sustainable development.
