The Community Council for Somerset (CCS) is delighted to announce the launch of a new venture – the Somerset Community Oil Scheme, which will be good for individuals, good for the environment and good for CCS. The scheme uses the model of a local buying syndicate for domestic heating oil but will roll it out across the county of Somerset. Even with the scheme in its infancy, experience has already shown that it’s possible to make a saving of around £40 on a single order. Individuals, community organisations and businesses can join the scheme for an annual membership subscription of £20, £30 and £100 respectively. CCS is keen to emphasise the environmental benefits too. Delivery tankers guzzle a lot of fuel and the more deliveries they can make in one place, the less fuel they use. And the fewer tankers there are on Somerset’s small country roads, the better. As a charity that is rooted in supporting action in local communities, CCS wants the new venture to reflect this philosophy. To find out more visit www.somersetrcc.org.uk/oil, or call 01823 331222 or e-mail: [email protected] Hello from Liz, your new editor. Although a relative newcomer to the village (about 18 months ago), I have lived “on the levels” for about 24 years, and have come to call this place home. Being able to contribute in some small way to my community pleases me no end! The first thing that has struck me is how much is going on in this village, and how little room we actually have to report on it all! Apologies to any contributor I have had to edit to make room for all. I hope too that the print isn’t too small or too cramped for readers who (like me!) aren’t so sharp eyed as they once were. Now for a request. I know how important this magazine is to our community. My aim is to continue a long and valuable tradition, whilst adapting to the needs of a changing world. So, I need FEEDBACK! What would YOU like to see included in your Parish Magazine? Do you have any suggestions? Ideas? Complaints? I am all ears! There will be a few changes for our advertisers in the New Year, but I’ll be letting all current advertisers know in good time for our next issue in Feb 2012. If you would like to be put on that mailing list, just let me know (by email is best) As a busy working mum I can be quite difficult to get hold of during the day. After 7pm is usually a good time to phone, and anytime by email (contact details on inside page). I look forward to getting to know you all better over the next few months.
