Burnham-on-Sea and Highbridge Town Council to fund installation of bund at Priory Gardens, Burnham-on-Sea

Burnham-on-Sea and Highbridge Town Council is pleased to announce that it has agreed to fund the installation of a bund around the grassed area at Priory Gardens, Burnham-on-Sea, which is owned and maintained by Somerset Council.

The decision comes following the increased number of unauthorised encampments on the land and as part of the Council’s ongoing commitment to improving and protecting local green spaces for the benefit of residents and visitors.

Somerset Council will be undertaking the works, which are due to start during w/c 12th January 2026. Although the area may appear a little unsightly at first, it will improve significantly as the grass begins to grow.

The bund will help safeguard the grassed area.
