  • Creech St Michael Sure Start Children's Centre Areas
    Issued: 13 July 2010 Community Profile: Creech St Michael Sure Start Children's Centre Areas This area profile pulls together a range of information about the Creech St Michael area and the people who live there. no map available Creech St Michael area comprises the wards of North Curry & Stoke St. Gregory, Ruishton & Creech, and West Monkton. The population of 11,834 lives in area of 7,849 hectares resulting in a population density of 1.5 per hectare, in line with Somerset as a whole. There are 4,572 households. Positioned on the outer fringes of Taunton, the Creech St Michael area has the M5, A38, A358, A3259 and A361 passing through it, which is probably a factor in the high rate of road casualties here. The area also experiences greater problems of accessibility to housing and services than might be expected. However, residents are extremely satisfied with where they live. Educational achievement, access to private vehicles, mortality rates and JSA claimant rates are all favourable in comparison with Somerset as a whole. A separate User Guide contains a detailed description of the statistics. - 1 - Creech St Michael People and Place Although Creech St Michael’s population profile is fairly typical of Somerset it shows a slightly lower proportion in the age groups 20-34, and marginally higher proportions of women in their forties and sixties. Population combined by age and sex Source: NHS (Jan 2010) A separate User Guide contains a detailed description of the statistics. - 2 - Creech St Michael People and Place (continued) Fewer than one in forty people are not classified as White British, slightly below the county rate.

  • A History of St. Michael's Church
    A history of St. Michael’s Church Creech St. Michael St. Michael's Church in Creech St. Michael The ancient church of St. Michael stands above the flood plain of the River Tone, in the village of Creech St. Michael near Taunton in Somerset. The church has been standing on this site since at least the 13th century, not only experiencing, but also reflecting, the changes of over 700 years. In 2013 the village of Creech St. Michael is growing fast with on-going new development. It sits just 2 miles from junction 25 of the M5 and 3 miles east from the county town of Taunton. It boasts a number of local industries and a range of facilities. As it stands now the church building presents perhaps an unpretentious and unassuming vista on the edge of the village. In the 14th century it would have dominated the area and played a central role in village life. The early history of the village of Creech St. Michael is uncertain. It is likely that the name comes from the Old English “Muchel Critch” meaning “large creek” (differentiating this village from Little Creech near West Hatch). This seems to be partially confirmed by the fact that the church was dedicated to “All Saints” until at least 1532. It is thought that the title of “St. Michael” is possibly a later corruption of “Muchel”, from the Saxon word for “great” or “large” (this had happened by 1742). What is certain is that Creech St. Michael was a thriving village under the name of Critch or Muchel Critch in the 11th century when William 1 (the Conqueror) commissioned the Domesday Book.

  • Cllr Harrison (Chair), Cllr J Jackson, Cllr D Bradbeer, Cllr T Hosie
    MINUTES OF MEETING OF CORFE PARISH COUNCIL TUESDAY 4th JULY 2017 at 6pm CORFE VILLAGE HALL. PRESENT: Cllr Harrison (Chair), Cllr J Jackson, Cllr D Bradbeer, Cllr T Hosie. Somerset County Cllr John Thorne. David Royle (Treasurer V H Committee). David Orr (representative of Killams & Mountfield Ward) & three members of the public. Cllr Harrison opened the meeting at 6pm and acknowledged the absence of three Councillors. He invited David Orr to speak about the proposed Highways England Ltd scheme for the A358, after which the Agenda would be addressed. David explained how HE Ltd had conducted a misleading consultation, during the purdah period for SCC , meaning the CC couldn't comment. Of the original four options presented to SCC only one option remains, being the cheapest after Stonehenge and Sparkford schemes receive the lion’s share of funding. This option has the least benefits for Taunton and doesn’t assist Henlade or link to J25 Nexus site. HE Ltd would not answer questions at the recent Stoke St Mary meeting. A Freedom of Information Act application was made. (SCCllr John Thorne left the meeting at this time without explanation) It is clear that a ‘closed’ junction is unlikely. Peak summer traffic flows have not been considered in the surveys. The new junction could support 3460 new homes to the south of Taunton, i.e. approaching Corfe. Southbound A303 traffic would flow on to the new route , a sliproad would have to be taken to remain on the old A303/A30.The extended consultation period and the different proposal means individuals can submit another response.The single option would not give economic benefit to Taunton just by virtue of new housing.

  • Link-Up March 2018
    Link–Up March 2018 E-Magazine FROM THE EDITOR … Keep a watch out for boxing hares this month. Up until recently it was thought that it was the male hares that were fighting to win the hearts of the females. However, it has now been shown that is not the case. The so called ‘boxing’ is actually a male and female together. The female is trying to explain to the male that he should “shove off” because she isn’t interested! A bumper filled Link-Up this month with lots to do in all three parishes. In particular, there are many ways to get/keep fit: attend Pilates and Keep Fit classes, take part in a ‘health walk’, go along and help with one of the Clean Up Britain Litter Picks. And to help keep the mind active go along to the coffee mornings/ afternoons, play board games, attend one of the community cinemas, enjoy the am.dram., take part in a quiz at the Gardening Club, attend a meeting, learn bell ringing or have a curry with friends. And for the younger generation make sure you go along to the Youth Club at Kingston which can be enjoyed by all children in the 3 parishes. There is something for everyone this month. So get up out of that cosy armchair. Spring is just around the corner and it’s time to get moving! Annie Trolley Indoors or out, no one relaxes in March, that month of wind and taxes. The wind will presently disappear, the taxes last us all the year.” Ogden Nash LINK-UP is the community magazine for the parishes of Broomfield, Cheddon Fitzpaine and Kingston St Mary.
