Please call the service provider and check. STOGURSEY PARISH COUNCIL (February 2021) The Parish Council currently meet every second Tuesday of the month at 7.30 pm online. The agenda is posted in advance on the parish notice boards in the hamlets and the main village; later in the month the minutes are posted on the parish website (www.stogursey- online.uk) and posted on the notice boards. Key points of the meeting are published in the Stogursey News. There is a pre-meeting public session at 7.15 at which parishioners may raise any of the issues on the Agenda; parishioners are welcome then to stay for the rest of the meeting (usually about 2 hours). It is a good opportunity to hear what is going on in the community and to speak informally to councillors at the end of the meeting. Members of the Council may be drawn from the main village or the hamlets, but their concerns and duties are for the entire community. If you have an issue which you wish to raise with the Parish Council, please speak to any one off them or write to the Parish Clerk (contact details below) Chair: Chris Morgan Vice Chair: Susan Goss Councillors: Susan E Jones Chris Ford Rebecca Calvert Jenny Ody Eileen Chave Judy Bastick Helga Staddon Steve O’Driscoll Clerk: Richard Wand Mulberry Cottage, 8, Church Street, CANNINGTON TA5 2HA [email protected] West Somerset District Councillor Chris Morgan Somerset County Councillor Hugh Davies Member of Parliament for Ian Liddell-Grainger West Somerset and Sedgemoor Stogursey Parish Council, like other Parish Councils, is the first of the three elected tiers of Local Government - the other two currently being the County Council (Somerset) and District Council (Somerset West and Taunton).

In particular, the Parish Council:- • is consulted by the District Council, on behalf of the parish, in relation to planning applications and other proposals that affect the parish; • undertake work and projects that will benefit the parish; • Enhancements (e.g. St Andrew’s Well, Planters on the Gravel, Bus shelters, Notice Boards) • Public Rights of Way • Litter and Dog Bins • Closed Churchyard Maintenance • Parish Lengthsman • Allotments • Statutory Obligations (Annual Audit, Insurance, Annual Accounts) • Allocation of Financial Grants to groups and organisations in the parish • Burgage Rd Play Area • Welcome Packs • Village Grounds and Maintenance • Representation at Meetings (Main Site Neighbourhood Forum, Community Forum, Transport Forum, Parochial Church Council, School liaison etc) • Highways issues • Street Lighting • Hinkley C Community Impact Mitigation Fund • work in partnership with other organisations to achieve benefits for the parish; • inform other organisations of problems that arise or work that needs to be undertaken; and • help the other levels of Local Government keep in touch with their local communities. The Parish Council also has a financial responsibility - with power to raise a precept from local residents and make financial decisions which will benefit the community. The precept is collected with the Council Tax by the District Council. The Parish Council’s income and expenditure is very closely monitored and the Accounts are audited annually by independent Auditors. Aims • To provide effective, efficient and accountable local government for the parish, enabling residents to be involved in the life of the community and its future development. • To be a strong voice for residents and local businesses, working to improve the overall parish area both built and natural, while preserving the heritage areas. Feb 2021 – Covid Restrictions have altered many things. Please call the service provider and check. Objectives • Understand and communicate the views, needs and aspirations of our residents and businesses. • Increase public involvement in the community through ensuring the parish council and its activities are open, transparent and accountable. • Support local business and economic activity in the area. • Work with the District Council to provide safe, healthy and timely opportunities for recreation, leisure and education, and to provide, improve and maintain play equipment, allotments and public recreation spaces. • To support the work of local voluntary organisations. • Respond to planning applications and other statutory consultations on time, ensuring that recommendations made to the District Council reflect the interests of the community. • Promote, within our community, activities which support the principles of environmental sustainability and an ethical society. • Ensure that councillors and staff have access to high quality training and development opportunities and that they meet all required standards. • While endeavouring to deliver these aims and objectives we will be financially accountable, and will always aim to work responsibly and within the confines of our annual budget.

  • Extract of the Survey on Orchard Wyndham, Williton Few Houses Stay
    Extract of the survey on Orchard Wyndham, Williton Few houses stay within the same family for 800 hundred years, but Orchard Wyndham is one of them, having been handed down for generations, not always down the male line, but always in the family. The house and garden of Orchard Wyndham are tucked into a ring of low hills inland from the sea at Watchet, with a stream, called Willett, running through the estate. Beyond lie the Brendon Hills, the Quantocks and Exmoor. So well hidden is Orchard Wyndham that it escaped the notice, not only of the marauding Vikings, but the Domesday survey. By that time the land round the present house was well settled, sheltered from the north by a steep bank; on Blackdown, a hill to the south of the house, there are signs of Bronze Age settlement and remains of a Roman fortification. The remains of a Saxon drainage system, hollowed out oak trees rammed together, were found under the Great Hall in the 1960s. Little is known of the history of the garden in the early years, but the land is sheltered and fertile and there is water from the hills; a lake, to the east of the house has an outlet to a stock pond beside the house which is now an attractive feature of the garden. A 13th century garden lay inside a wall south east of the house. The earliest dated record, 1287, shows that the land was owned by the Orchard, or de Horcherd, family who lived there until the 15th century.

  • Rights of Way Improvement Plan 2
    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. However, where resources allow we will strive to implement the key priority areas of this 2nd Improvement Plan and make Somerset a place and a destination for enjoyable walking, riding and cycling.

  • BY E. GREEN (Eon. Sec.)
    ftoios mt the Jistorg «f £)uluft[ion. BY E. GREEN (Eon. Sec.) pUT a few years ago the history of any parish would have ^ commenced with some extract from Domesday book, now, thanks to one, alas ! lately departed from us, two years earlier can be included, and much new matter gained. Still all is rather complex, and future workers may yet find room for their investigations. In the Gheld Inquest then, taken in 1084, Dul- vertona is found as part of Williton Hundred, and, with Netelcoma and Uinnesforda, was rated at six hides, one virgate and one fertin, the dues on which were in arrear. The Domesday measurement is about a third more. But although Dulverton is here found already in Williton, it for a time, it would seem, gave the name to the Hundred. It here included Potesdona(Pixton), Holma (Hollam), and certain lands owned by thirteen Taini, the value, £-3. 4s. 2d., making uipthe Domesday measurement of 8,337 acres, held by the King in capite. Be- fore the Conquest it was owned by Earl Harold, who received a rent from Brigeford, from the Earl of Moretain, of twenty- “ four sheep ; a custom, says the Inquest, now discontinued.” The rental was eleven pounds ten shillings, paid in white money. Within the manor was a still uncertain holding of one virgate of land, called Widepolla, the same spelling as for Withypool, held by Robert de Odburvilla, formerly owned by one Dodo in the time of King Eadward. D'Auberville, as the name next becomes, and Dodo, were both King’s foresters, but D’Auber- ville, by a suit at law, managed to secure the property, and then to separate it from Dulverton, holding it by what was considered the more honourable tenure, by service, instead of, as before, by a money rent.

  • Flooding in West Somerset: Overview of Local Risks and Ideas for Action
    FLOODING IN WEST SOMERSET: OVERVIEW OF LOCAL RISKS AND IDEAS FOR ACTION A discussion document by the West Somerset Flood Group June 2014 The West Somerset Flood Group WHO WE ARE We are a group of town and parish councils (and one flood group) actively working to reduce flood risk at local level. We have come together because we believe that the communities of West Somerset should have a voice in the current debate on managing future flood risk. We also see a benefit in providing a local forum for discussion and hope to include experts, local- authority officers and local landowners in our future activities. We are not experts on statutory duties, powers and funding, on the workings of local and national government or on climate change. We do, however, know a lot about the practicalities of working to protect our communities, we talk to both local people and experts, and we are aware of areas where current structures of responsibility and funding may not be working smoothly. We also have ideas for future action against flooding. We are directly helped in our work by the Environment Agency, Somerset County Council (Flood and Water Management team, Highways Department and Civil Contingencies Unit), West Somerset Council, Exmoor National Park Authority and the National Trust and are grateful for the support they give us. We also thank our County and District Councillors for listening to us and providing support and advice. Members: River Aller and Horner Water Community Flood Group, Dulverton TC, Minehead TC, Monksilver PC, Nettlecombe PC, Old Cleeve PC, Porlock PC, Stogursey PC, Williton PC For information please contact: Dr T Bridgeman, Rose Villa, Roadwater, Watchet, TA23 0QY, 01984 640996 [email protected] Front cover photograph: debris against Dulverton bridge over the River Barle (December 23 2012).
