Toddlers Toddler Toys are missing the children very much - the play tent is empty; the paints miss making pictures; the tea-set misses giving cups of tea; the playdough misses creating shapes; the cars miss driving on the road mat; the teddies miss their cuddles and we all miss each other! And when it is safe to do so we will meet together again, there will be singing once more and stories to be told. May you and your families keep well and “Happy Birthday” to Albert and Sarah who will both be three in June. Jane Update on St Michael’s Church Roof Project Following last month’s article in the BKN about progress on our project, I am pleased to announce that our outstanding match funding application from the Garfield Weston Foundation has been approved. This means that our financial concerns about doing the work have been resolved. We are planning for the work to be done during the latter part of the Summer, probably between July and September. The only difficulty that could possibly frustrate this is Diocesan permission to do work on the church during the Covid-19 outbreak. Ged BRENT KNOLL AND MARK TENNIS CLUB The Tennis Club has reopened in a restricted way, following a two month Covid-19 shut down. Social distancing measures are in place and only four players are allowed on the courts at one time. Matches, group coaching and all social club play are on hold. Hopefully, tennis will slowly return to normal during the Summer as government restrictions ease. Please contact Alison on [email protected] if you would like any information about the tennis club. Alison Hillyer MAY BRENT KNOLL NEWS BKN.Innards.indd 3 19/05/2020 09:05 44 METHODIST CHURCH (www.brentknollmethodistchurch.com) Minister Revd. Steve Bennett It goes without saying that, as a church, we are still unable to physically meet together for worship and fellowship during this ongoing crisis. But we are very grateful to Rev Steve for organising regular Sunday morning worship via Zoom. Whilst some of our congregation are joining together via laptops and computers each week, others are using the weekly Order of Service, which Steve has been sending around for private devotion and prayer. We are keeping in regular contact with each other and we are all in agreement that not only do we miss the physical act of being in the same building together, we also miss the fellowship which comes out of that act of being together. Although phone calls, Skype and Zoom have been valuable resources during this time, somehow it's not the same as talking to one another face to face. I was chatting to a member of our church during the week and we both agreed that "we miss hugs". That's one of the cruellest things about this virus. When we could really do with a supportive hug from a dear friend, we are unable to share one as we still need to be utterly mindful of social distancing. But we know that this will end. We don't know when - it may not even be this year - but it will end. And with that in mind, when our churches are able to safely open again, we are beginning to have discussions as to how this could happen. It may well be that our worship will take a different form for a while - but in a world where everything seemed to have been turned upside down virtually overnight, we have to be open to change in a world where the word "normal" no longer seems to apply to so many aspects of our lives. The most important thing is that we stay strong in faith and hope and continue to hold one another in our prayers during this challenging time. To all our friends in the village, and to those outside of it who read this magazine, you are not alone. You are held in our thoughts and our prayers. And for all who feel in need of one at the moment, we are sending you a virtual supportive hug. Stay strong, stay safe and may God continue to bless us all. Rosemary Krull Parish Council Planning Responses We would like to remind local residents that when a planning application comes before the Parish Council, we take into consideration all of the local views about a specific proposal. If you have any concerns, objections to, or support a Planning Proposal, you must register those concerns with the Parish Council prior to the date of its monthly meeting. If you only register your comments on the Sedgemoor Planning Portal that may be after our meeting, so timing is critical. We also point out that the Parish Council is a consultee and not the decision maker. The ultimate outcome of any application will come from the Sedgemoor planning team. Please email: the clerk Owen Cullwick [email protected] or call on 07917 445215 Owen Cullwick BRENT KNOLL NEWS MAY BKN.Innards.indd 4 19/05/2020 09:05 The choice is yours If you’re looking for windows, doors or a conservatory, we believe that you will make the best choice for your home if you have the opportunity to see the options available... in a relaxed and hassle free environment and without a sales person pressuring you into making a decision.

Response: Parish Council supported this application unanimously on the following grounds: (a) An acceptable Layout. (b) A suitable Design. (c) In Keeping with the Surrounding areas. (d) Adequate Parking Provision. (e) No Impact on surroundings. (f) Provision of additional housing accommodation. Footpaths Report (a) There has been a report of a locked gate on the bridle way, chained with a combination lock (Colin will investigate). We can then report back to the resident who alerted us. (b) In front of the Manor, some gates are to be installed as part of a redirected footpath. This has yet to be completed as we believe the contractor is currently not working during the emergency. He is also due to complete the gates and posts in Battleborough Lane. (c) There appears to be an issue of an overgrown stile on land near the stables in Body’s Lane it needs cutting back (Colin to have a look at what is needed). (d) There appears to be rather insecure plank crossing the Rhyne in Crooked Lane, however this is part of Burnham without Parish and it will be reported to them. (e) The sign behind the church on the Knoll footpath has been defaced with Graffiti. Malcolm has removed the worst, but states that it should come off with a low level solvent. Highways Report The road outside of the hairdressers has become badly damaged; Clerk will report to highways. Village Green/ Toilet Block and Car Park Toilet Block: All seems in good order as very few people are using the facility. Green reported as tidy and no immediate problems to report Play Equipment: It was resolved to approve Paul Dixon’s quote of £116 to repair the Traverse Chain on the Trim Trail. He will also be asked to quote for other recommended improvements. Grants The Chairman re affirmed to the meeting that a payment of £350 to the emergency shop fund had been authorised and that the clerk had secured grants totalling £2000 to support the project. This now means that the Parish Council has secured funding for the shop in total of £2600.

    Rights of Way Improvement Plan 2 WWW.SOMERSET.GOV.UK WELCOME TO THE 2ND SOMERSET RIGHTS OF WAY IMPROVEMENT PLAN Public Rights of Way are more than a valuable recreational resource - they are also an important asset in terms of the rural economy, tourism, sustainable transport, social inclusion and health and well being. The public rights of way network is key to enabling residents and visitors alike to access services and enjoy the beauty of Somerset’s diverse natural and built environment. Over the next few years, the focus is going to be chiefly on performing our statutory duties.
