AROUND 140 bingo players have signed a petition opposing plans to lawn over Castle Green car park, in Taunton.

They say it will make it harder for them to get to Mecca Bingo, on nearby Corporation Street.

General manager Monika Borska-Ulatowska said: “Losing the parking facilities will obviously make their visits here far less convenient, which isn’t something either we or our customers would welcome.”

Project Taunton’s Ian Franklin said the plans were mooted six years ago and non-one had previously complained.

He added that there were nearby car parks in Tangier and The Crescent “within a minute’s walk”.

He said: “I understand what they are saying, but we’re providing superb facilities for central Taunton and I’m happy there’s sufficient car parking.”
