TAUNTON has been given a huge boost from hosting the Cricket World Cup matches.

The centre of the town is beginning to look more attractive with pedestrianised areas, planters, hanging baskets and newly-cleaned pavements and painted gates to Vivary Park.

The roundabout near the Obridge and Priory Fields is the gateway to that side of town.

Its roundabout needs to be made a more attractive feature.

This could be achieved by creating a cricket display, wild flowers, or a garden town theme.

This really needs addressing, as it would set the right tone for everyone coming into Taunton from this direction.

It does not need to cost a lot of money but would be a positive welcome for all visitors.
