South Somerset District Council has published the results of its Housing and Employment Land Availability Assessment (HELAA), which identifies sites suitable and available to be developed for housing or employment. If housing is delivered on the sites identified, Yeovil will continue to grow to the north and west, with Castle Cary, Chard, Crewkerne, Ilminster and Wincanton all being expected to shoulder some of the burden. The majority of the sites identified are for housing only, with a number of mixed use development sites scattered across the district.

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.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT'BOUNDARY'COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND CHAIRMAN Mr G J Ellerton CMC MBE DEPUTY. CHAIRMAN Mr J G Powell FRICS FSVA MEMBERS Lady Ackner Mr G R Prentice Professor G E Cherry Mr K J L Newell Mr 3 Scholes QBE TO THE RT: RON DOUGLAS KURD MP SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT PROPOSALS FOR THE FUTURE ELECTORAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE DISTRICT OF SOUTH SOMERSET IN THE COUNTY OF SOMERSET • BACKGROUND 1. The present electoral arrangements for the District of South Somerset . (formerly the District of Yeovil) date from 6 May 1976, when the District of Yeovil (Electoral Arrangements) Order 1975, giving effect to the proposals contained in our Report No. 35, came into force. The .Yeovil (Parishes) Order 1982 and the Yeovil (Parishes) Order 1984 subsequently gave rise to minor consequential changes in the electoral arrangements. 2. On 10 July 1984, Cllr. T J Chant, a member of Yeovil Without Parish Council, wrote to us asking us to consider improving representation for the Houndstone .•• District Ward of the then District of Yeovil, of which the parish of Yeovil Without formed part. Cllr. Chant requested a review of the district in order to remove electoral imbalances in the Houndstone Ward and to redistribute the existing sixty seats on the District Council more equitably. Yeovil Without Parish Council subsequently sent us a copy of a letter addressed to the District Council supporting Cllr. Chant's desire for an early review of district electoral arrangements.
