Also present will be police and fire services for home safety advice, health professionals and other agencies who can offer advice. The event will be held in Otterhampton Village Hall, on Thursday 5.3.20, 10am – 1pm. If you have not already advised the Clerk you will be attending, please can you do so by 10.2.20. Church Hill Parking We have received complaints regarding parked vehicles adjacent to the pavement in Church Hill near the junction at the bottom of the hill. We appreciate that parking is at a premium throughout the village but obviously parking here, in this manner, could well be dangerous for vehicles either having to overtake them, possibly head-on into vehicles entering Church Hill from Brookside Rd and vice-versa. All we as a parish council can do is to request and remind people to park with consideration and with due regard to the safety of others. Diverted temporary footpath during Combwich Wharf works Following complaints about the state of the footpath, we requested that EDF carry out repairs to make the footpath usable and safe. Remedial works will be undertaken, but the footpath will need to be closed (maximum of a week). We have requested that notice is given in advance of the footpath closure so we can advise residents. Replacement and additional defibrillator for Combwich The existing defibrillator by the phone box will be replaced with a new one and the landlord at the Anchor has very kindly agreed that an additional defibrillator for the village can be located at the public house. Matt will also absorb the cost of the electricity to run it. We will apply to the Hinkley Point C Community Fund to fund the defibrillators. This will be a supported package from the South Western Ambulance Service (Community Public Access Scheme) renewable every 4 years at a cost of £2800. This includes all maintenance, battery and defibrillator pad replacement and new defibrillators. The next parish council meeting will be held on Thursday 6 February 2020, at 7.00pm in Otterhampton Village Hall. Residents are very welcome at our meetings. You will be given a warm welcome and the opportunity to participate and discuss the various topics. In addition, tea, coffee and biscuits are available from 5-10 minutes before the meeting start time. Contact for Clerk (Aly Prowse) [email protected] or Tel 01278 652426 From the parish archives! 1948 - Application from a Bridgwater man to supply a weekly fish and chip service. 1955 - Bridgwater Bay declared a nature reserve - big problems with by-laws, hunters and fishermen from village upset! 1966 - The name Martyn Close suggested by the developers was deemed unsuitable by the parish council who preferred Parrett Close! 1969 - Mr Messet passes away after 21 years as clerk to the parish council. 3 Tom Jacobs an Ode to OPRA For walkers and Quizzers and Easter egg hunters for in opra we cater for all.

For more information ring 01278 652399 4 Otterhampton Parish Recreation Association (OPRA) Registered Charity Number 1124017 Tina Gardener Chair Firstly a very happy New Year 2020 to everyone and this year OPRA will be 20 years old. It was formed in March 2000 and took over from the Combwich Common Committee. When they transferred their assets to OPRA their request was that the annual Christmas dinner for the senior citizens of the parish should continue. We have honoured that commitment and last December saw the 21st dinner held in the village hall, as you can see from the front page it was well attended and was well served by a large number of volunteers. Special thanks to be given to our youngest volunteers, Alex and Will Mockridge who entertained us on the piano, sold raffle tickets and helped serve the meals. They remind me of when my two children were small and looked forward to helping out every year. Thank you to Rob Wright for giving us a good discount on the wine and for serving it (there was an incentive to keep the glasses topped up!), and to Ray Bollen and Chris Stockham who as always did a fantastic job in the kitchen. Normally Matt from the Anchor cooks the potatoes and turkey for us but, as he was on holiday his dad, Dave stepped in and did a fantastic job. Entertainment was provided by the Combwich Choir who did an excellent audience participation of the Twelve days of Christmas, Mike who did a Christmas quiz, and Sarah Webb and Tom Jacobs who did a hilarious rendition of ‘I’ve got you Babe’.

  • Bridgwater Tidal Barrier Order A17/1G Environmental Statement
    Bridgwater Tidal Barrier Order Transport and Works Act 1992 Transport and Works (Applications and Objections Procedure) (England and Wales) Rules 2006 A17/1g Environmental Statement Volume 7 – Chapters 19 to 25 December 2019 19. In-combination effects 19.1 Introduction and scope 19.1.1 The Environment Agency, in partnership with Sedgemoor District Council, are delivering the Bridgwater Tidal Barrier (BTB) Scheme to reduce tidal flood risk to Bridgwater and surrounding areas. 19.1.2 Definitions of cumulative, intra-project and in-combination effects for the purpose of this Environmental Statement (ES) are provided in Chapter 7 (Environmental assessment methodology, Paragraph 7.5.2). Cumulative and intra-project effects are considered within the environmental topic assessment chapters (Chapters 8 to 18) of this ES, as required, and are therefore not discussed further here. 19.1.3 In-combination effects occur when the residual effects of a proposed development act in combination with the residual effects of other proposed projects to generate combined effects that are different or of a greater magnitude than the effects of the proposed projects alone. An assessment of in-combination effects considers other proposed and approved projects that have not yet been constructed and are not operational, i.e. developments that are in addition to the baseline. For proposed, but not yet approved projects, only those projects that have entered a formal process within the public domain are considered, e.g. projects undergoing public consultation, Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) screening or scoping, a consenting process, or proposals that are identified in approved policies, plans or programmes.

  • 1 Countryside and Rights of Way (CROW) Act 2000 PROPOSAL for a LONG-TERM DIRECTION by the RELEVANT AUTHORITY SUMMARY for PUBLI
    Countryside and Rights of Way (CROW) Act 2000 PROPOSAL FOR A LONG-TERM DIRECTION BY THE RELEVANT AUTHORITY SUMMARY FOR PUBLIC CONSULTATION Prepared by Natural England 1. INFORMATION ABOUT THE PUBLIC CONSULTATION Case Reference Number: 2020049167 Name of site/ land parcel: Steart Peninsula (ST274459) Access Authority: Somerset County Council Relevant Authority: Natural England Local Access Forum: Somerset Local Access Forum Natural England has received a representation under section 26 of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act for a direction to exclude access to the public as indicated on the attached map in order to prevent disturbance to sensitive bird species. Natural England proposes to give a direction on the site that would exclude access for longer than six months continuously. The CROW Act requires us to consult publicly on all such proposals for long-term directions. 2. SUMMARY OF RELEVANT AUTHORITY PROPOSAL Background The 93 km (58 mile) stretch of the England Coast Path (ECP) from Brean Down to Minehead (BDM) was opened to the public on 15 March 2016. Coastal access rights came into force along this stretch of coast by order of the Secretary of State (SoS) at that time. The area covered in this consultation has had access excluded under a direction that was proposed and approved by the SoS, excluding access to saltmarsh and flats under s25A, since that time. The area of concern at Steart Peninsula is part of the Bridgwater Bay National Nature Reserve (NNR). It is heavily designated, being part of the following designated areas: • Bridgwater Bay Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) 1 • Severn Estuary Ramsar • Severn Estuary Special Protection Area (SPA) • Severn Estuary/ Môr Hafren Special Area of Conservation (SAC) Bridgwater Bay NNR contains one of the biggest intertidal mudflats in Britain as well as the largest area of salt marsh in Somerset.
