WORK can start on Highbridge Enterprise Centre after Sedgemoor District Council approved plans.

As reported, the £1.2million centre on the Isleport Business Park has been backed with cash from Somerset County Council and central Government.

It will comprise two buildings – one for industrial businesses and the other for offices – on a greenfield site next to the household waste recycling centre, off Bennett Road.

The centre will house ten start-up businesses which will get access to a business mentor and high-speed broadband.

The scheme could create the equivalent of 40 full-time jobs.
