  • Levels and Moors 20 Year Action Plan: Online Engagement Responses
    Levels and Moors 20 Year Action Plan: Online Engagement Responses We have had an excellent response to our request for your ideas – between the 13 th and 21 st February a total of 224 individuals responded on-line and a few by email. All of these ideas have been passed to the people writing the plan for their consideration and we have collated them into a single, document for your information – please note this document is in excess of 80 pages long! Disclaimer The views and ideas expressed in this document are presented exactly as written by members of the public and do not necessarily reflect the views of the council or its partners. Redactions have been made to protect personal information (where this was shared); to omit opinions expressed about individuals; and to omit any direct advertising. Theme: Dredging and River Management The ideas we shared with you: • Dredging the Parrett and Tone during 2014 and maintain them into the future to maximise river capacity and flow. • Maintain critical watercourses to ensure appropriate levels of drainage, including embankment raising and strengthening, and dredging at the right scale to keep water moving on the Levels, but not damaging the wildlife rich wetlands. • Increase the flow in the Sowy River. • Construct a tidal exclusion sluice on the River Parrett as already exists on other rivers in Somerset. • Restore the natural course of rivers. • Use the existing water management infrastructure better by spreading flood water more appropriately when it reaches the floodplain. • Flood defences for individual communities, for instance place an earth bund around Moorland and/or Muchelney, (maybe using the dredged material).

  • Bradford-On-Tone
    1 BRADFORD-ON-TONE Bradford-on-Tone is a rural parish three miles north-east of Wellington and four miles WSW of Taunton, in the former hundred of Taunton Deane.1 The small village lies immediately to the south-east of the river where several roads converge on the medieval bridge that replaced the ford. Also within the parish are the hamlet and former manor of Hele, the former Heatherton Park estate and a number of scattered farmsteads. There is a diverse range of buildings, from the medieval church and a number of late medieval houses to several substantial 19th-century dwellings and the early 20th-century chapel at Heatherton Park. In the 17th and 18th centuries Bradford seems to have been of some importance as a regional centre for the cloth trade. Today it is probably best known for its cider farm. Bradford takes its name from the ‘broad ford’ across the river Tone, described as Bradan Forda and Bradanford in a charter of 882.2 It was referred to as Bradeford in the Domesday Book.3 It was Bradeford by Welyngton in 1311,4 a name still used in 1424.5 In a will of 1429 the parish was described as Bradeford by Taunton.6 However, it was most commonly referred to simply as Bradeford after 1399.7 The half-share of the manor owned by the Franceis family was known as Bradford Fraunceys between 1461 and 14828 but the epithet never became attached to the parish, which was known as Bradford by 1617.9 The 1 C.
