1 I've Met Many Special People in the Last 4 and a Half Years I Have Spent in the Delightful Isle Valley. Sadly, Some of Them I’ve met many special people in the last 4 and a half years I have spent in the delightful Isle Valley. Sadly, some of them have reached the end of their earthly journey and we have had to say farewell. One such was Hilary Bolitho MBE lately of Broadway. She was the first person who called on the rectory after I moved in to give me a warm welcome and to ask if there was anything she could do to help. I was having difficulty fitting my washing machine. You know what it’s like when you move home – you remember the kettle but forget to leave the monkey wrench handy. 30 minutes later there was the resourceful Hilary walking up the drive with said implement. That was the first of many examples of how Hilary helped me over the coming months and years. Most of all I enjoyed sitting in her front room with a glass or two of wine and some nibbles and hearing her stories of people near and far. She was known to all the dairy farmers in Somerset and gained their respect for you had to be on your toes when Hilary paid a visit on behalf of the Milk Marketing Board – tough but fair they say! She poured heart and soul into church, village and county (though Cornwall remained her first love) and was recognised for her service with an MBE, chosen to be a recipient of maundy money from the Queen’s hand, and the Somerset Community Service Award. She was a true friend to me, to the blind of Somerset and to many. But I must move on to thoughts of Easter – that greatest of great festivals in the church. It always comes at that time of year when the earth is being renewed, and the birds are busy, trees are budding and flowers are stretching out to sky and sunlight. This year has special significance when after a whole year of fallow lives and fear of drawing too close to family, friends and neighbours, our hearts and souls are embracing the hope of restored and renewed opportunities to love, laugh and LIVE as we did before. Of course, thinking of Hilary and Easter are intimately connected. For the faith that she believed and practised her whole life – that of a loving God who gave us the ultimate example in Jesus Christ of loving service, who paid the ultimate sacrifice in dying in our place, and gained the ultimate victory as He rose to new life means that she and we and all who are grateful for what He has done can look forward with confidence to a wonderful warmest of warm welcomes in the heavenly home prepared for us combining the very best of Somerset, Cornwall and even Yorkshire, and all that has been special to us in our earthly sojourn. Most of all I am looking forward one day to enjoying her excellent company once again with a glass of something and some tasty nibbles.

To any French friends here today, we send our prayers and love. Today the Parisian people will be worshipping on the street outside their devastated cathedral as we worship in this glorious building, all of us giving thanks to God for the resurrection hope the Easter story offers us. Here in Bath Abbey we are also in the midst of refurbishment and hence very aware of the lengthy and detailed work which was being undertaken at Notre Dame. A billion Euros have been raised and a commitment to rebuild made. Will it take 5 years as President Macron hopes or 50 years to bring it back to full restoration? When Christopher Wren rebuilt St Paul’s Cathedral following the Great Fire of London it was upon the stone discovered in the ruins of the burnt out building, on which the Latin word ‘resurgam’ was written.

It was felt that the developers need to ensure there are sufficient land drains installed. Another resident brought up the issue of the prior discussion that the parish council had with the developer and the view expressed by the parish council that there is a need for low cost housing in the village. The resident commented that Ilton already has a disproportionate amount of low cost housing and it needs more higher banded properties to ensure it receives sufficient council tax which would also give Ilton a louder voice. Another resident commented that the low cost housing which is included in the new development on the edge of the playing field is not selling, some bungalows remain on the market for a long time and that Ilton does not need more low cost housing. The resident asked why the parish council felt that the village needs more low cost housing and where is the evidence.

Progress of Works in Detail Key Projects (pages 6 to 10) SRA 2016-17 Enhanced Programme (pages 11 to 21) INTRODUCTION In 2016-17, Somerset Rivers Authority (SRA) spent just over £6million on actions designed to give Somerset an extra level of flood protection. This end of year report explains where the money came from and how it was spent. It also gives information about projects that have been delayed or had their funding moved to other activities. These details have been provided because the SRA wants people to know what it has achieved across the county – and it wants to be properly accountable. The SRA raises extra money to deliver extra work. Schemes are prioritised for SRA funding on the basis of the main objectives in Somerset’s 20 Year Flood Action Plan, which was developed in response to the floods of winter 2013-14. This report is divided into two sections. Performance covers delivery overall and by funding source, plus a table summarising 2016-17 finance; Progress gives more details about major projects, and smaller actions grouped according to SRA workstream – Dredging & River Management, Land Management, Urban Water Management, Resilient Infrastructure and Building Community Resilience. Somerset’s approach is uniquely joined-up. This report details just one year of the SRA’s extra work. For much more information about earlier years, works in progress and works coming up, visit www.somersetriversauthority.org.uk A note on Somerset Rivers Authority: The SRA is a partnership between 11 of Somerset’s existing flood risk management authorities: Somerset County Council, the five district councils, the Axe Brue and Parrett Internal Drainage Boards, the Environment Agency, Natural England and the Wessex Regional Flood & Coastal Committee.

  • Somerset Library Services Consultation 2018 Summary Proposal
    Somerset Library Services Consultation 2018 Summary Proposal Tell us your views on how we are proposing to deliver future library services in Chard, Crewkerne, Ilminster and surrounding area - Area 5 - Chard, Crewkerne, Ilminster libraries. We’d like to invite you to tell us your views on some potential changes we are considering making to the future delivery of library services in your community and across Somerset. Somerset County Council is fully committed to continuing to deliver a thriving, modern library service across Somerset. As with many Authorities, however, we continue to face challenging financial times. Somerset County Council received £90million in 2013/14 from central government to support our services. This has reduced to just over £26million for 2017/18 and is set to reduce to nothing by 2020/21- whilst demand for services has increased, particularly in adult and children social care. We have managed to reduce our library budget by 20% since 2011, whilst keeping all of our libraries open. Going forward, we may need to consider more challenging changes in order to keep the Libraries Service on a sustainable financial footing. The following summary proposal provides three options exploring how we might deliver library services in your community in future. There are another eight area summary proposals available to view, which include library proposals for the remaining areas of Somerset. Please carefully read the following information, consider the two proposed options then complete the questionnaire, basing your answers on the library you visit most often. We stress that no decisions about the future delivery of library services in any community have been taken at this time and the results of this consultation will be taken into account in our decision-making.

    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.
