Abstract: A family of Poisson structures, parametrised by an arbitrary odd periodic function $phi$, is defined on the space $cW$ of twisted polygons in $R{R}^u$. Poisson reductions with respect to two Poisson group actions on $cW$ are described. The $u=2$ and $u=3$ cases are discussed in detail and the general $u$ case in less detail. Amongst the Poisson structures arising in examples are to be found the lattice Virasoro structure, the second Toda lattice structure and some extended Toda lattice structures. A general result is proved showing that, for any $u$, to certain concrete choices of $phi$ there correspond compatible Poisson structures which generate all the extended bigraded Toda hierarchies of a suitable size.
