Crewkerne T.C. News Page 2 August 2011 Crewkerne T.C. News The Newsletter of Crewkerne Town Council Issue 31 August 2011 ___________________________________________________ ________________ Time is running out for Recycling Centre The Somerset Waste Partnership has announced that the usage of the site in Crewkerne since charges were introduced has fallen dramatically even with it being underwritten by the Town Council to a level of £1.20, the funding alloc ated by the Town Council has now been used and this will result in the charges rising to £2.00 from 1 st August in line with those currently being charged at Coleford, Dulverton and Middlezoy. The Town Council and the 8000 plus members of the community who signed the petition are 100% against the loss of what was a well used centre which will result in increased disposal in waste bins and fly tipping and goes totally against national policy to increase recycling to avoid more expensive landfill usage, but the County Council has not accepted this and imposed the cuts on the Somerset Waste Board.

  • 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).

We are a group of five rural parishes and six churches located on the south-eastern edge of Exmoor and a part of the Exmoor Deanery in the Diocese of Bath and Wells. Each parish has its own character. Since the last vacancy, we have become aware of the advantages and pleasures of working together. So we have started our journey and we are looking for somebody to walk alongside us on that road. Our vision is ★ To have a benefice united in the Spirit and led by an active and enthusiastic Rector, supported by a strong team of committed Christians. ★ To expand and broaden our outreach to further integrate and strengthen the church presence in our communities. ★ To serve all, taking our community to where God is leading us and seeing God in all whom we meet. ★ To seek ways of telling God’s story in new places in both traditional and fresh forms. ★ To value spaces and places in our worship for prayer and stillness. We can offer you the support of an enthusiastic ministry team, experienced lay worship leaders and the chance to live in an attractive rural part of the country. If these objectives appeal to you we would love to hear from you. Page 2 of 26 In this Profile: The benefice and worship sections focus on themes common to all parishes.
