The current version of The Nynehead News came into being in April 2002 and I have been editor and treasurer since then. I am delighted to have had the support of many throughout that time, initially with Jeff Northam and David Bruford and then Ann & Allan Howe, Peter Russell, with Jill Prior and Nancy Douglas always ready to help. However, time moves on and whilst we are all committed to the next edition – due out in March 2008 – I have decided to step down to allow others to take over. As a result, the March edition will be the last that I will edit. In addition, Duncan Linklater, our Webmaster of www.nynehead.org wishes to retire at the same time. Duncan has been the absolute master of this award winning website having started it single-handed in November 2003 and I’m sure we would all like to offer our thanks for the fantastic contribution he has made in putting Nynehead on the World Wide Web! The Nynehead News is financially self-sufficient and has a healthy balance with Lloyds Bank. It also has a detailed Constitution and thanks to Cynthia Lock, fully audited accounts. Allan Howe will continue as Chairman & Peter Russell is happy to keep looking after the advertising. Although the website and newsletter now operate under the same umbrella for administrative and financial purposes, they run quite separately and could continue to do so. This means that on a day-to-day basis the Webmaster need have no direct involvement with the newsletter unless he or she wishes to do so. Indeed, the website is structured so that individuals can look after their own sections without having to involve the Webmaster at all! In thanking you for the support I have received over the years I do hope that others will come forward to take over as Editor, Treasurer and Webmaster. If you wish to continue where Duncan & I are leaving off please let us know as soon as possible, but before March next year, as we will do everything possible to help ensure a smooth transition. Finally, I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy & Prosperous New Year.

(Nigel is the Principal Officer, Housing and Environmental Protection and Ashley is the air quality expert.) Nigel explained that under the 1995 Environment Act the secretary of State has to produce a strategy for reviewing and assessing Air Quality. There is therefore a need to review the 7 specific pollutants associated with emissions to atmosphere from transport and transport. This has been undertaken in 3 stages. Stage One results showed that 4 out of 7 pollutants needed to be looked at in more detail in Stage Two. Stage Two results showed that only N02 remained suspect and that only because of the M5 Motorway. Stage Three was carved out in 2000, for N02 only. Concluding that the M5 was not a problem. However monitoring will continue to confirm the findings. This monitoring indicated the likelihood of N02 hotspots and the result of a supplementary report concluded that certain small areas of Henlade and East Reach are likely to exceed the, Government targets for 2005.

  • 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.

Interest 19/154 Approval of The Minutes of the meeting held 20 January 2020 were approved and signed as a Minutes correct record. 19/155 Actions from the (i) Footpath WG14/1 (Nynehead-Bradford) – Rachel Pearce (Bridge officer) at previous SCC confirmed that the bridge remains closed as considered, by SCC, unsafe for meeting public use. Negotiations have been ongoing with the landowner (who does still use it at his own risk) but he has private vehicular rights. The repair is his responsibility and would cost a great deal of money but he has refused grants offered by the Council to repair the bridge and, together with other local landowners, has refused the possibilities of diversions or the construction of a footbridge at another location. In addition, the definitive/legal line of the footpath north- west of the bridge has been cut off by the river changing course since the footpath was fist mapped, so any project or funding will be dependent on a diversion of the path.

Mr Frederick Bligh Bond of Bristol, a noted church architect, was employed to design and supervise the erection of the Memorial Cross. The estimated cost, including bronze tablets with the names of the Fallen and the architect’s fees was £350. The following month a printed pamphlet was circulated in the parish (see next page) appealing for donations.
