About

North Town lies immediately north of Taunton town centre and takes its name from that position. The area is mainly residential, with terraces, semis and some newer housing around local lanes. A short parade of shops and services sits on one of the main streets, and there is a primary school and a community hall that host local clubs and events. Playing fields and small green spaces provide places for football pitches and children’s play equipment, and several back lanes connect the neighbourhood to adjoining streets.

The ward is within easy walking distance of Taunton’s main shopping area and is served by regular local bus routes into the town and beyond. North Town is also an electoral ward used in local government and planning documents, so its boundaries are referenced in council reports and election maps. That administrative role shows up in modest ways, from street-level consultation notices to the location of polling places at the community hall.
