Business Networks

Travel plan networks are business-to-business, area-based groupings which enable companies to share best practice and promote the rationale for travel plans and Smarter Choices.

As a joint Somerset County Council and Highways Agency initiative as part of their Influencing Travel Behaviour change programme, the West of Junction 25 (M5) business network works with and supports many existing organisations on the eastern edge of Taunton. 

Further potential areas for employers to work together on area-wide travel plans include:

• Minehead - new hospital, new Morrisons, West Somerset Community College, West Somerset Council
• North East Bridgwater - new Morrisons distribution centre and packing plant, Express Park, Bridgwater College
• Yeovil - Agusta Westland, new Bunford Park development, NHS Somerset, Asda (as well as the businesses on Houndstone Business Park)
• Glastonbury - Avalon Plastics, new Tesco, other occupiers of the Morlands redevelopment area
