This long hot summer seems to go on and on. While we all enjoy the warmth and sunshine, our gardens are suffering. The butterflies seem to enjoy the weather though, and there are plenty to be seen if you are out walking on the Common - in particular the lovely orange and black Silver- washed fritillaries which can be found along the rides and woodland edges. There are some familiar butterflies to colour for our Young Buddies. The ponies are seeking out shade during the heat of the day, but flies and ticks are making their presence felt. If you are an outdoors person, then the National Plant Monitoring Survey offers a chance be of help in conservation efforts. For the Green Fingered among you we offer some exotic cacti, and for the cooks the Seasonal Treat is a deliciously different lemon drizzle cake. Summer is also the time for Barbecues and Garden Parties - check out What’s On and the Church Pages for details. Langford Ladies have enjoyed a barbecue too, and The Friendship Circle are planning a visit to a micro- brewery! This month has seen some comings and goings, so check out the Village News pages to keep up. There are Changing faces at the Martlet - we are sad to say goodbye to Terena, Bruno and Betty, but welcome the new landlords, Craig and Anca, and hope they - and the village pub - prosper. Our school has closed for the summer: They marked the occasion with the usual ‘climbing of the Church Tower’ by the year sixes who will go on to secondary school. And finally, another plea from the editorial team of Round About. Do please send us a heads-up if you have any news to share, new arrivals to welcome or goodbyes to say. We’d also love to have your ideas for articles, your favourite recipes for our Seasonal Treats, your garden tips for Green Fingers and your seasonal photos for the cover or the collage. If the photo features people please get their permission for its use. If you want to help, you could offer to assist your neighbourhood distributor - maybe cover for them when they go on holiday, offer to share the round or keep them company! We rely on our distributors to get the magazine to you at no cost. Our contact details are at the back of the magazine. Saranne Cessford, on behalf of the editorial team. 1 What’s On 7.00 to Police Beat Surgeries Jubilee Hall Mon 6 Aug 8.00 pm Parish Council Meetings Jubilee Hall Mon 13 Aug 7.30 pm Friendship Circle Jubilee Hall Fri 3 Aug 11.00 am Coffee and chat 2.30- St Peter’s Cream Tea Croxhall Sat 11 August 5.00pm Langford Ladies: Meet at St Peter’s Wed 15 Aug 5.45 pm Woolly Shepherd Church for lifts Friendship Circle Jubilee Hall Fri 17 Aug 11.00 am Coffee & Chat BudVue Cinema: Jubilee hall Sat 18 August 7.00 pm Darkest Hour Grounds Maintenance From 9.30 Jubilee Hall Mon 27 Aug Action Day am Friendship Circle Bear Inn Fri 31 August 11.00 am Microbrewery Visit Wiveliscombe Friends of St Peter’s 11.00 am St Peter’s Church Sat 1 Sept Open Day at the Church - 4.00 pm Runnington Church 12.30 pm Sandyland House Sun 9 Sept Barbecue onwards Defibrillator Training Jubilee Hall Tues 11 Sept 7.00 pm Cleverly Everly 60s Tribute Jubilee Hall Sun 15 Sept 7.00 pm Harvest Festival Runnington Church Sun 23 Sept 9.15 am Cleverly Everly 60s Tribute Band Langford Budville Jubilee Hall Saturday 15 September at 7.00 pm Brothers Stan and BBC reporter Clinton Rogers recreate the popular music of the Everly Brothers.

Previously our Hall has been managed by a small team of Trustees who have been responsible for a huge range of tasks from initial fundraising, overseeing the construction phase, organising bookings to the much smaller but equally important tasks of buying teabags and loo rolls! Now that our Community Hall has had a number of years operating successfully and many of the teething problems ironed out, it has been agreed that the role of the Trustees should be a little less hands on and the day to day maintenance and running of the Hall would be more effective through smaller Action Groups which can focus their energies on specific tasks. Each Action group will include a number of volunteers and be facilitated by a Trustee who will report back to the Trustee group on a quarterly basis. Four broad Action Groups have been established, each of which has its own particular focus. These are listed in the table below along with a brief description of the types of tasks they will be undertaking. Action Group Main tasks Grounds Grass cutting, weeding and watering flowerpots and beds. Maintenance Action Maintaining drive and car park Maintaining footpath. Group Weed killing of paths and car parks / Strimming and pruning. Future landscaping and ideas for improving external environment. Building External and internal decoration including hall floor maintenance Maintenance Action Weekly inspections and repairs of internal fittings Group Assist with erection of new storage shed. Equipment checks and replacements, including oil. Weekly checks and purchasing of consumable supplies. Oversee cleaning of hall and windows. Health and safety requirements. 4 Community Engage- Assisting with fundraising and community events. ment and Events Ac- Assisting with bar including restocking and rotas. tion Group Developing website and online presence.

Finance and Manage- Assistance to Treasurer including budgeting, managing funds and audits ment Action Group and insurances. Assistance to Booking Clerk with managing hall calendar, liaising with Hirers and assisting with visits for of potential users How you can help…. If any of the tasks above are something you think you would enjoy getting involved with, please get in touch. Contact David Brown on [email protected] or call on 400510. We are very much looking for volunteers to join the Action Groups to help with the many and varied tasks needed to keep the hall running smoothly and safely. But we are also looking forward and would welcome new ideas from people to help develop how the Hall can best benefit our Community into the future. Therefore if you would like to support the Jubilee Hall, but without the regular commitment of being a Trustee this is provides a wonderful way to contribute. We would like to take the opportunity to thank all those who responded via the recent survey to offer their help in the running of the Hall. Please expect an email from us shortly to enlist your offer of help! Dates for the diary For those of you itching to get going, how about spending the August Bank Holiday doing something different? Come to the Jubilee Hall on Monday 27th August and spend some time making the grounds look tidier. Please come armed with any tools/ equipment/gloves/goggles etc that you may need. We will be starting around 9:30am but please feel free to come & go during the day as you please. Another date for the diary is Tues 11th September at 7pm when a Defibrillator training course will be run. This course is free and open to everyone and we encourage as many people as possible to attend this life saving course. Juliet Shrimpton On behalf of the Jubilee Hall Trustees 5 Budvue - Our Village Cinema Our summer season has been well attended with showings of the award winning Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri in June and The Shape of Water in July. The next Budvue date in the diary is the Saturday 18 August, when we eagerly await the dramatic Darkest Hour with Gary Oldman as Churchill.

Published September 1995 The NRA and the Environment Agency The National Rivers Authority will form the major part of a new organisation which will have responsibilities for the environmental protection of water, land and air. The new Environment Agency starts its work of managing the environment in England and Wales on April 1 1996. SUt~ ^ r C S FOREWORD------- This Catchment Management Plan Consultation Report covers the River Tone and all its tributaries. These drain to it from Exmoor and the Quantock Hills in the west and north and from the Blackdown Hills in the south and east. The report also includes the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal. This report describes the physical features and factors such as geology and climate for the catchment. In particular, we set out the NRA’s vision for the catchment. We describe: • the activities in the catchment which affect the water environment and the uses made of water; • the NRA’s objectives and targets for the water environment, described under four headings - water quality, water quantity, physical features and flood defence; • the state of the catchment in relation to the four categories of objectives. From this comparison we identify issues which need to be addressed by the NRA and others.

  • Taunton Green Green Wedge Assessment 2015
    Taunton Deane Green Wedge Assessment June 2015 Introduction Green Wedges have been protected through policy in Taunton Deane since the East Taunton local Plan publication of 1991. The policy wording has changed little during that time. Currently the policy states that: Key policy objectives of Green Wedges are to: • Prevent the coalescence of settlements and maintain a sense of place and identity for neighborhoods; • Maintain the open character of a green lung contributing to health and wellbeing for residents; • Bring the countryside into the heart of town; • Provide accessible formal and informal recreation, sport and play; • Provide valuable wildlife corridors and habitat; • Protect areas of landscape importance and visual amenity; and • Provide a positive approach to land use. However during that time there have been a number of appeals and Local Plan Inquiries that have directly challenged the Council’s approach and designation. Aware of that the Council’s Strategic Planning, Transportation and Economic Development Review Panel of 16th November 2006 resolved that: a) Green Wedges be considered as integrated environmental and social resources (and their Local Designation status should be retained). This would ensure protection was afforded to the wide range of attributes that contributed to, and made up, the open spaces. b) An assessment be undertaken of existing Green Wedge boundaries and a consistent approach be applied to justify definitive lines that would withstand public inquiry scrutiny. c) The individual function of Green Wedge areas within the Taunton Deane Local Plan be identified and stated and that the appropriate policy be separated in two:- i Rural buffers and strategic gaps; and ii Green wedges.

  • A Survey of the Use of Traditional Building Stones in West and South Somerset
    A SURVEY OF THE USE OF TRADITIONAL BUILDING STONES IN WEST AND SOUTH SOMERSET A Report for the South West Heritage Trust by G. J. Dawson and P. Wright Edition 1.1 A SURVEY OF THE USE OF TRADITIONAL BUILDING STONES IN WEST AND SOUTH SOMERSET G. J. Dawson and P. Wright Purpose of the Survey This survey is being carried out by two volunteers for the South West Heritage Trust. It is being undertaken to assist the Trust, and others, with preserving the local character, appearance and distinctiveness of towns and villages in Somerset. Surveys have been completed of Taunton Deane and the Quantock Hills eastwards to the River Parrett. The survey is ongoing and new appendices will be added to this report as surveys of other areas are completed. Current activity is focused on the area of South Somerset west of Yeovil. Survey Method The principal data collected during the survey are of the different types of stone used in the external walls and dressings of buildings and in boundary walls. Blocks of cut stone used at the corners of buildings (quoins) are recorded as part of the external walls. All other stonework, including stonework surrounding openings for windows and doors, are recorded as dressings. At the request of the Trust, data are also collected on the use of other materials for the walls of buildings, such as brick, render and cob, and for roof coverings, such slates, stone and clay tiles, thatch, corrugated iron and asbestos and steel sheeting. Surveys are carried out on a parish by parish basis within the boundaries of each settlement.
