Putting the small somerset town of Bridgwater on the map with a carnival that thousands flock to see
Bridgwater
Many years ago I worked for a charity in a Somerset town called Bridgwater.
I’m not a resident and it’s been a while since I worked there but I think it’s fair to say that Bridgwater isn’t the most affluent area. Historically, unemployment levels were always high. Many shops struggle and the average wage is not high. A quick internet search shows Bridgwater voted ‘worst’ in several unofficial polls and many areas of Bridgwater are classed as deprived. For some people, that would be reason enough not to live there, or even visit.
