  • Creech St Michael Sure Start Children's Centre Areas
    Issued: 13 July 2010 Community Profile: Creech St Michael Sure Start Children's Centre Areas This area profile pulls together a range of information about the Creech St Michael area and the people who live there. no map available Creech St Michael area comprises the wards of North Curry & Stoke St. Gregory, Ruishton & Creech, and West Monkton. The population of 11,834 lives in area of 7,849 hectares resulting in a population density of 1.5 per hectare, in line with Somerset as a whole. There are 4,572 households. Positioned on the outer fringes of Taunton, the Creech St Michael area has the M5, A38, A358, A3259 and A361 passing through it, which is probably a factor in the high rate of road casualties here. The area also experiences greater problems of accessibility to housing and services than might be expected. However, residents are extremely satisfied with where they live. Educational achievement, access to private vehicles, mortality rates and JSA claimant rates are all favourable in comparison with Somerset as a whole. A separate User Guide contains a detailed description of the statistics. - 1 - Creech St Michael People and Place Although Creech St Michael’s population profile is fairly typical of Somerset it shows a slightly lower proportion in the age groups 20-34, and marginally higher proportions of women in their forties and sixties. Population combined by age and sex Source: NHS (Jan 2010) A separate User Guide contains a detailed description of the statistics. - 2 - Creech St Michael People and Place (continued) Fewer than one in forty people are not classified as White British, slightly below the county rate.

  • From the Editor …
    Link–Up January 2019 E-Magazine FROM THE EDITOR … Happy New Year!! What will 2019 bring? The robin featured on the front cover symbolises rebirth or the beginning of new ideas and new opportunities: for me, a probationary period as a new editor for Link- Up with Annie Trolley’s help. So how about starting a new hobby, joining a group or attending the wide variety of activities that our three villages have on offer? We are very fortunate to have so many available. It’s never too late to try something new! A detailed list can be found in the Directory of Village Activities (also available online at www.kstm.uk ). It could also be a time to change the way we think about everyday life – one of our contributors this month has made some New Year pledges around the effects of climate change – check out page 12. We really can make a difference even if it seems small. I’m certainly going to give some a try. Remember - “We all get the exact same 365 days. The only difference is what we do with them” (Hillary DePiano). I wish you all a very happy, healthy and peaceful 2019. LINK-UP is the community magazine for the parishes of Broomfield, Cheddon Fitzpaine and Kingston St Mary.
