The petition, which is gathering support across local government and the care sector, calls for cross-party discussions before Christmas to end the well- documented financial shortfall in social care. Government funding hasn’t kept pace with the growing demands of an ageing population, leaving councils up and down the country struggling to provide the support and care that people deserve. The country needs a plan to fund social care in the long-term and your County Council is proud to be playing a lead role in forcing the issue. Leader of the Council, Cllr David Fothergill, launched the petition this summer and said: “There is nothing more important to Somerset than looking after vulnerable people. “The system for social care is broken – and this council is the one demanding change and is standing up for care.” You can sign the petition by visiting www.somerset.gov.uk/standupforcare - it only takes a few seconds to add your name, but you could be helping bring about change that lasts lifetimes. Earlier this year Somerset helped put care in the spotlight by working with BBC Panorama on its Crisis in Care documentaries.

    Sedgemoor District Council Somerset West and Taunton Council Somerset County Council 13 April 2021 Dear Doug, Dawn and Andy HPC Workforce Uplift – Topic Papers and Supporting Information I write following our detailed conversations regarding the HPC workforce uplift and specifically the six topic papers that we have voluntarily developed to assess the impacts and effects of the workforce increase on the conclusions drawn in the DCO Environmental Statement (ES). I am pleased to enclose copies of the six topic papers covering: Accommodation, Transport, Workforce Development, Environment, Health and Community Safety. I also enclose a copy of the Engagement Report which sets out the nature of and the outcomes from our community engagement activity which commenced in January and a revised Spatial Distribution Note which, as you know, underpins the content of the topic papers. Appended to this letter are: (i) an explanatory note from our legal team setting out how we propose draw upon the existing contingency mechanisms under the DCO Section 106 agreement and also to secure voluntary enhancements to existing mitigation measures (Appendix 1) and a summary of the additional monitoring information (Appendix 2) which we intend to share, as appropriate, on an ongoing basis at the Transport Review Group (TRG) and the Socio-Economic Advisory Group (SEAG). As you know, the Topic Papers have been drafted to enable the Local Authorities and EDF to consider whether, in relation to the DCO Section 106 agreement and the relevant strategies and plans under the DCO Section 106 agreement: a) No change would be required; or b) Changes may be appropriate which could be made under the processes set out within the DCO Section 106 agreement; or c) Changes may be appropriate which cannot be approved under the DCO Section 106 agreement itself and therefore would require a modification to the DCO Section 106 agreement.

HON. MICHAEL HESELTINE MP. SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT j 1. In a submission dated 10 December 1979* Taunton Deane Borough Council requested us to review the "boundary between the Borough of Taunton Deane and the District of Sedgemoor in the County of Somerset. The request arose out of Taunton Deane Borough Council's parish "boundary review and followed a proposal made "by the Stoke St. Gregory Parish Council, in Taunton Deane Borough, who had undertaken a survey of local residents. The request was for the formation of a parish for the village of Burrow"bridge, which at present is divided "between five parishes: Stoke St. Gregory in Taunton Deane borough and North Petherton, Westonzoyland, Middlezoy and Othery in Sedgemoor district, and involved the transfer of parts of those parishes into Taunton Deane to form the new parish. 2. Somerset County Council supported the idea of a review. Taunton Deane Borough Council wanted the new parish to "be included within their area but Sedgemoor District Council reserved their position at that stage.. 3. We considered the Borough Council's request, as required by Section 48(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, having regard to the Department of the Environment Circular 33/78 and to our own Report No.

  • Glastonbury Companion
    John Cowper Powys’s A Glastonbury Romance: A Reader’s Companion Updated and Expanded Edition W. J. Keith December 2010 . “Reader’s Companions” by Prof. W.J. Keith to other Powys works are available at: http://www.powys-lannion.net/Powys/Keith/Companions.htm Preface The aim of this list is to provide background information that will enrich a reading of Powys’s novel/ romance. It glosses biblical, literary and other allusions, identifies quotations, explains geographical and historical references, and offers any commentary that may throw light on the more complex aspects of the text. Biblical citations are from the Authorized (King James) Version. (When any quotation is involved, the passage is listed under the first word even if it is “a” or “the”.) References are to the first edition of A Glastonbury Romance, but I follow G. Wilson Knight’s admirable example in including the equivalent page-numbers of the 1955 Macdonald edition (which are also those of the 1975 Picador edition), here in square brackets. Cuts were made in the latter edition, mainly in the “Wookey Hole” chapter as a result of the libel action of 1934. References to JCP’s works published in his lifetime are not listed in “Works Cited” but are also to first editions (see the Powys Society’s Checklist) or to reprints reproducing the original pagination, with the following exceptions: Wolf Solent (London: Macdonald, 1961), Weymouth Sands (London: Macdonald, 1963), Maiden Castle (ed. Ian Hughes. Cardiff: University of Wales Press, 1990), Psychoanalysis and Morality (London: Village Press, 1975), The Owl, the Duck and – Miss Rowe! Miss Rowe! (London: Village Press, 1975), and A Philosophy of Solitude, in which the first English edition is used.

  • Sedgemoor 1685
    English Heritage Battlefield Report: Sedgemoor 1685 Sedgemoor (6 July 1685) Parishes: Chedzoy, Westonzoyland District: Sedgemoor County: Somerset Grid Ref: ST 352357 (centred on the battlefield monument) Historical Context The Monmouth Rebellion of June-July 1685 had its roots in the Exclusion Crisis of the late 1670s, when there had existed a popular movement to remove the Roman Catholic James, Duke of York, from the succession to the throne. A key figure in the agitation was James Scott, Duke of Monmouth. As King Charles II's eldest bastard son he stood to benefit if the Duke of York, the King's brother and legitimate heir, ceased to be next in line to the throne. Rumours began to circulate that King Charles had secretly married Monmouth’s mother which, since Monmouth was a protestant and, following his victory against rebels in Scotland at Bothwell Bridge (June 1679), immensely popular, people were more than willing to believe. Substituting the Duke of Monmouth for the Duke of York as King Charles's heir appeared a simple solution to the difficulties currently besetting the state. Indeed, so seductive was the message that Charles, who had a profound respect for the natural succession, more than once, early in 1680, felt it necessary to deny that he had ever married Monmouth's mother. In August 1680 Monmouth made a triumphal tour of the West, which at the time was likened to a Royal progress. The tour, however, was in many ways the high water mark of his success. During 1682 and 1683 he became involved in intrigues directed not only against the Duke of York but ultimately the King himself.
