Ilminster Division County/District December Monthly Report 2018
ILMINSTER DIVISION COUNTY/DISTRICT DECEMBER MONTHLY REPORT 2018 SCC - FINANCES Mid Term Financial Plan update – there remains a continuing need to save an additional £15m. SCC is aiming to ensure that all potential financial pressures are considered in order to ensure that the budget balances, taking into account factors such as Local Government financial settlements; district-based council tax collections; winter conditions. Children’s services remains the largest spending commitment, along with adult services, especially Learning Disability services. Somerset is one of the counties that will be part of the Business Rate Retention pilot which will mean a financial gain for both Districts and SCC. Government grants during the last five years have been reduced significantly, by over £2m. It is anticipated that for the 2019/20 budget there will be an increase of £5 for band D properties, with an assumed increase of 2.99% p.a. from 2020. Budgets are due to be set in Feb. DSFRS The Corporate Safety and Planning Committee considered a number of options for changes to the current duty system, where there is over, or under, staffing at key times. Planned changes are intended to ensure the service operates on a more flexible basis to allow for greater flexibility and adaptability, to reduce risk, and respond to changes in demand. It is likely that a variety of duty solutions will be tailored to suit the specific area of risk. The service, in addition to being the largest employer of ‘on-call’ firefighters in the country, is also the national industry leader for ‘on-call’ apprenticeships.

This was a convenient way to keeping it on your left, up the field and the Incline to the Ilminster and perhaps the shortest distance from the top of the field.

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.

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.

Walters, H B, the Church Bells of Somerset, Part II, Volume 66
Cfje Cfmrcb TBelte of Somerset BY H. B. WALTERS, M.A., F.S.A. IN 1875, now forty-five years ago, the Rev. Canon H. T. Ellacombe of Clyst St. Mary, Devonshire, published a monograph on the Church Bells of Somerset, in continuation of his previous work on those of Devonshire. After a brief intro- duction in which something was said of the inscriptions on the mediaeval bells, and somewhat less of their founders, a list was given of the inscriptions on all (or rather, nearly all) the bells of the Somerset churches, ancient and modern. The indefatigable author had then reached the ripe age of eighty, and the book is a monument of an old man's industry. But for this very reason he was necessarily dependent upon the assistance of correspondents and helpers for all his informa- tion/and although he personally visited every tower but one in Devon (previously to 1867), it is probable that he never actually saw a single bell in Somerset. He tells us in fact, in his preface, how his information was all obtained by diligent posting of letters to incumbents, churchwardens, and even parish clerks. The result of this, however, was that his descriptions of the bells were by no means either as full or as accurate as could have been wished. Many of his correspondents were doubtless inexperienced in reading inscriptions, especially in old lettering, and they were liable to miss ornaments or marks in unusual positions. Thus at Hornblotton and at Lovington mediaeval bells are passed over in silence ;* at other places inscriptions 1.
