description
Taunton Town Council manages parks, open spaces, recreation grounds and public assets across Taunton. From time to time these sites experience unauthorised encampments and traveller incursions, which may restrict public access, create safety and environmental issues, cause damage to land or infrastructure, and generate operational and reputational impacts.
