AUTUMN TIDY UP Somerton Old Doctor's Surgery site received an autumn "spruce up" this week from offenders required to "give something back to their local communities". They were all doing unpaid Community Payback work as required by the court. Set up in 2003 the Payback Scheme aims to both punish offenders and achieve something positive. Nationally millions of hours have been spent on useful work and in Somerton the fortnightly programme has seen benefits to the Recreation Ground in the painting of benches, fencing and the dug outs, litter picking and weeding in the Market Place and regular visits to the cemetery where great pride is taken in keeping the space tidy. Community Payback Supervisor Pete Mellen, manages the programme locally. "We are committed to finding useful jobs so that the project works well and we are always happy to hear about prospective placement opportunities," he expressed. The local contact number for Community Payback is 03000 492622. 5 Viaduct No. 146 - November 2015 COUNCILS AND COUNCIL TAX IN SOMERSET People are often heard commenting (usually complaining!) about "The Council", but here in Somerton and Somerset there are three levels of council as well as other organisations that influence our lives (and take a portion of our council tax!) Somerset County Council, based in Taunton (64% of our council tax) Responsible for the more strategic services across the county such as education, transport and roads, planning, fire and public safety, social care, libraries, waste management, trading standards. It has an annual budget approaching £750 million of which education and social care are the two biggest items. The county is split into 5 districts. South Somerset District Council, based in Yeovil (9%) Responsible for more local services such as rubbish collection, recycling, council tax collections, voter registration and polls, housing and planning applications. It has an annual budget of about £18 million. The district is split into 4 areas. Somerton Town Council, based in Somerton (11%) 6 Viaduct No. 146 - November 2015 Responsible for more local matters such as the town's car parking and toilets, provision of play areas, supporting the recreation ground through grant funding, managing the cemetery, managing bookings and maintenance at Edgar Hall and maintaining street lighting. In addition, liaises with the District & County Councils on issues affecting the town such as highway maintenance, streetcleaning and planning matters. It has an annual budget of about £300,000 and has 4 major committees. Avon & Somerset Police, based in Portishead, Bristol (11%) Responsible for all policing matters including crime reporting and follow up, road traffic accidents, firearms licencing, but NOT parking on roads (responsibility of the County Council). In addition, they provide advice on how to keep you and your home as safe as possible from crime. Also they give advice on schemes such as Neighbourhood Watch, Community Speedwatch and Farm Watch. Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Authority, based in Exeter (5%) Responsible for much more than putting out fires! They advise on prevention of fires and other safety matters both in the home and for businesses, as well as attending road traffic incidents, flooding and confined space rescues. They operate 24 stations in Somerset, not all of which are permanently manned. PUBLIC TOILET BLOCK TEMPORARY CLOSURE SOMERTON TOWN COUNCIL PUBLIC NOTICE: Due to the scheduled refurbishments the public toilet facilities will be closed for 3 days for re-decoration.

  • Bates, E H, and Hancock, F, an Inventory of Church Plate In
    3n 3|nt)entorp of Cfjutcb Plate in Somerset. Part III* BY THE REV. E. H. BATES, M.A., AND THE REV. F. HANCOCK, M.A., F.S.A., Prebendary of Wells. compiling another portion of the Inventory, I have had INthe valuable assistance of Prebendary Hancock for the Wiveliscombe District of Dunster Deanery. The descriptions ' of the plate were handed over to me to be reduced to common form,' while the Introductory notice and the notes on each parish, with certain exceptions in square brackets, are by him alone. A change of residence has compelled me to vary the original plan of taking each Archdeaconry in turn. The Midsomer Norton district of the Frome Deanery must be left over for the present. It was possible, however, to take the llchester district, thus completing that deanery. In the Archdeaconry of Taunton the whole of the Crewkerne Deanery has been worked over, and one district of the Dunster Deanery. These four districts contain ninety ancient parishes, and nine modern parishes and chapelries, total ninety-nine. The most interesting and valuable item is the Nettlecombe chalice with its paten, the oldest plate in England bearing a date-letter, whereby its age is exactly known. A full account * Part I, containing the complete Deaneries of Gary and Merston appeared in vol. xlii II districts of Frome and in vol. xliii. ; part containing Martock 12fi Papers, Sfc. will be found in the Introduction to the District and in the notes on the parish. There is a large quantity of Elizabethan plate, exclusively cups arid covers, it being found in fifty-five parishes.
