Bridgwater Docks Regeneration

Closes 14 Sep 2025

Opened 18 Aug 2025

Overview

Somerset Council would like to hear your feedback on proposals for the regeneration of Bridgwater Docks.  

The regeneration of Bridgwater Docks is one of 11 projects that is being funded by the Bridgwater Town Deal.  

Our proposals 

The vision for the project is to make the Docks a cultural and tourist destination once again, with enhanced connectivity from the town centre.  

The ambition is that it will be an attractive place for people to relax and live and will better celebrate Bridgwater’s rich industrial history and its Docks.  

Our proposals include:  

  • The creation of an active travel route along the perimeter of the Docks providing improved access for walking, wheeling and cycling. 

  • A high-quality public realm scheme through considered hard and soft landscaping.  

  • A new swing bridge and refurbishment of the historic Bascule Bridge and locks.  

  • Creation of new residential and leisure moorings.
