Financial cutbacks have led to council offices in Highbridge closing down this week.
The Alpha House cash office in Market Street has been permanently shut by Sedgemoor District Council in order to save thousands of pounds.
A notice posted outside the premises on Saturday (March 29th), pictured, apologises for the inconvenience caused and points residents towards council services via phone, email and the Web.
Sedgemoor District Council’s £1.8m funding defecit is behind the closure.
Its Executive Committee recently said that closing the offices in Highbridge and Cheddar would generate savings of around £38,000 a year.
