About

The Taunton South ward forms the southern portion of the county town, largely defined by residential neighbourhoods and key transport corridors. The area encompasses the communities of Galmington and parts of Comeytrowe, characterised by a mix of housing types from post-war estates to more recent developments. Its eastern boundary is significantly shaped by the route of the A38, a major arterial road connecting the area to the wider region and the M5 motorway network.

Within the ward lies the expansive Longrun Meadow, a large green space with grazing cattle that follows the course of the River Tone. This area provides a distinct rural counterpoint to the suburban surroundings and is a site for community events. The ward also contains the Taunton Academy secondary school and is adjacent to the county's main hospital complex, adding institutional and employment functions to its primarily residential character.
