As I write this we are still in lockdown – but the youngsters are back at school – and other restrictions are about to be lifted in stages. Happily though the winter seems to be drawing to a close, the days are lengthening, and the air is getting warmer, and the daffodils and other spring flowers are bursting out all around our garden. The final sign for me is that the clocks are altered in a few days, and the evenings become longer. I wonder what the season of Easter traditionally means to each of you – chocolate Easter eggs and rabbits perhaps, even an Easter egg hunt? Big family gatherings over a long holiday weekend? Or maybe the culmination of the six weeks of Lent and Holy Week, finishing on Good Friday, with the crucifixion of Jesus on a cross, then his resurrection on Easter morning to the delight and amazement of his disciples.

A303 Sparkford to Ilchester Dualling – Project TR010036 Phil Gamble – registration identification number 20015057 Written Representation. Summary I am a resident of West Camel who has lived in the village for over 40 years. I have been a Parish Councillor and was Chairman of the Council for a number of years. I was involved at the time of the dualling proposed in 1990 and the resulting Public Enquiry in 1994. The scheme in principle has the full support of everyone, but it could and should leave a positive local legacy not a missed opportunity which leaves local business and the local community frustrated that yet again the people in charge , who don’t have to live with the consequences, know what is best for us! Many accidents, including loss of life, occur on this section of the A303 and both users of the A303 and locals overwhelmingly welcome the scheme and urge for its early completion.

  • Foreword to the Draft Queen Camel Neighbourhood Plan 2019-2030
    Foreword to the Draft Queen Camel Neighbourhood Plan 2019-2030 I have pleasure in commending this Neighbourhood Plan covering the development of the village in the period to 2030. The Plan, when adopted, will form part of a hierarchy of plans at local levels within the National Planning Policy Framework. The NPPF provides a strict framework for developing plans, particularly on housing, which we have carefully observed. Taking this Plan through its remaining stages so that it can be a final approved Neighbourhood Plan to support all that we want is a very significant step for the village. The remaining steps are as follows; • Submission of the plan to South Somerset District Council (SSDC) for examination • Final revision of the plan before submission to the parish for approval by referendum • When approved by referendum, the Neighbourhood Plan is formally adopted. The background to the process to develop the plan is set out in the detailed sections which follow. I would emphasise that a very detailed analysis of the wishes of the village, covering in particular the housing needs and the availability of land for development, has been made by the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group of the Parish Council (NPSG) along with the Parish Council itself and its advisor from Dorset Planning Consultant Limited and South Somerset District Council. Therefore do read the policies and the background to them thoroughly as a lot of careful analysis of what could be appropriate for the village is described in this document. The Parish Council have carefully considered the range of comments that were made on the draft plan and made some changes as a result.
