There are a range of houses, flats and bungalows, with some sheltered accommodation, and one extra care block. Over the last few years, the area has benefitted from a large external decorating programme, and many properties have been re-roofed. Homes in Sedgemoor is an Arms Length Management Organisation (ALMO). This means we look after homes on behalf of Sedgemoor District Council, who own the properties. We manage nearly 4,200 homes, including sheltered accommodation for residents over the age of 50 or anyone in need of extra support. This document has been produced with you. We were so thankful for all of your views, ideas and comments made at our event on May 22, 2019, and have made sure that all of them are taken into account in this Shaping Your Community plan for the next 5 years. Moving forward, we will continue to work with you to identify opportunities to help shape your community. Our commitments to you Homes in Sedgemoor is committed to working with you to improve the services you want and need from us. Through our work with you, we have agreed these standards of service: Repairs - When you report a repair to us we will agree with you if we can do it on the same day through our Same Day Repairs Service. If we can't fix the repair on the same day, we will will make sure we agree with you a date and time when this will be done. Communication - We will work with you to deliver at least 4 newsletters each year which include information about Hamp, North Petherton and the South Sedgemoor Villages and what we are doing about the commitments made in this Shaping Your Community document. Antisocial behaviour - We will work with you when you tell us about any incidents of antisocial behaviour, to make sure you can enjoy living comfortably in your home. Help you manage your tenancy - We will support you in any way we can if you tell us you are having any problems with your tenancy. For example, we can offer advice and support around paying your rent, managing your universal credit and maximizing your income. Fairness and respect - We will always treat you with respect; treat you and your neighbours fairly and do what we say we will. Complaints - If you are not happy with anything that we do, we will listen to you, and respond quickly and fairly to resolve any complaint you have. Hamp, North Petherton & South Bridgwater Villages Shaping Your Community 2020-2025 Five year planned programme for Hamp, North Petherton & South Bridgwater Villages We have already undertaken a huge amount of work to your homes and communal areas.

We will also continue to fix any repairs reported to us through our Same Day Repairs Service. Already done! In May 2019, when we held the event with you to find out your views, you told us lots of things you wanted. Some of them we have been able to do during 2019/20, and these are outlined here: "Meads Court lighting to be improved.” You told us that the lighting at Meads Court is not bright enough, and some areas are very dark at night. We have since started working on improving the brightness of the communal lighting. "Improving the communal garden facililities at Phillip House." We have installed a new gate for increased security and installed new washing lines in the communal area. Hamp, North Petherton & South Bridgwater Villages Shaping Your Community 2020-2025 Based on your feedback our immediate focus will be: Community activity and engagement Working with you to create more community activities, and listen to your ideas about your local area. Together we will develop ways to keep you informed and help you access information about up-and-coming events and opportunities. Sustainable support Working with you to develop opportunities to access support. We will identify and help you get involved in projects that enable and empower residents to be active and take pride in their community. Contracted services Consulting with you about the contracts we buy-in for services delivered in your area. If this is something we would need to charge for, we will work with you to make sure we deliver what you want and need. In response to your feedback, we will explore window cleaning options in blocks. Safe and secure homes Developing better ways of listening and communicating with you, to identify where improvements can be made in order to reassure you that your homes and communal areas remain safe and secure. Communal green spaces and fly-tipping Working with you to develop new ways to prevent fly-tipping. We will continue to hold our Skip Days and explore further ways to keep your community clean and tidy. We will also support you to improve your communal green spaces to enhance your well-being and quality of life. You also told us ... At the Shaping Your Community events, you told us lots of things we either can’t directly do anything about, or can’t do anything without your help. These were: You would like more parking available by the school at Rhode Lane. Much of this area is owned by Somerset County Council and managed by the Highways department. Although we cannot change the way this is managed we can help raise your concerns and influence some of the decisions they make. Our Neighbourhood Teams can also work with you to seek opportunities to improve traffic calming. You would like more CCTV. Homes in Sedgemoor is unable to provide CCTV but will raise your concerns with Sedgemoor District Council and work closely with the police to help make your community safer. Road safety in the Hamp area. Similar to above, much of this area is owned by Somerset County Council and managed by the Highways department. Although we cannot change the way this is managed we can raise your concerns and influence some of the decisions they make . Hamp, North Petherton & South Bridgwater Villages Shaping Your Community 2020-2025 How you can help We want to deliver the best service to you, when you want and need it. This is what we ask you to do to make sure we can do that: Keep talking to us, and telling us about anything you feel we can do together to keep improving your homes and neighbourhood. Get involved with us to help deliver better services. You can do this by joining our customer involvement groups, getting involved in focus groups or feeding back through surveys. Tell us if you want us to contact you in a different way – for example, email or text. Use our online services where you can – it's free and easy to use at anytime of the day or night.

The petition, which is gathering support across local government and the care sector, calls for cross-party discussions before Christmas to end the well- documented financial shortfall in social care. Government funding hasn’t kept pace with the growing demands of an ageing population, leaving councils up and down the country struggling to provide the support and care that people deserve. The country needs a plan to fund social care in the long-term and your County Council is proud to be playing a lead role in forcing the issue. Leader of the Council, Cllr David Fothergill, launched the petition this summer and said: “There is nothing more important to Somerset than looking after vulnerable people. “The system for social care is broken – and this council is the one demanding change and is standing up for care.” You can sign the petition by visiting www.somerset.gov.uk/standupforcare - it only takes a few seconds to add your name, but you could be helping bring about change that lasts lifetimes. Earlier this year Somerset helped put care in the spotlight by working with BBC Panorama on its Crisis in Care documentaries.

  • Somerset Geology-A Good Rock Guide
    SOMERSET GEOLOGY-A GOOD ROCK GUIDE Hugh Prudden The great unconformity figured by De la Beche WELCOME TO SOMERSET Welcome to green fields, wild flower meadows, farm cider, Cheddar cheese, picturesque villages, wild moorland, peat moors, a spectacular coastline, quiet country lanes…… To which we can add a wealth of geological features. The gorge and caves at Cheddar are well-known. Further east near Frome there are Silurian volcanics, Carboniferous Limestone outcrops, Variscan thrust tectonics, Permo-Triassic conglomerates, sediment-filled fissures, a classic unconformity, Jurassic clays and limestones, Cretaceous Greensand and Chalk topped with Tertiary remnants including sarsen stones-a veritable geological park! Elsewhere in Mendip are reminders of coal and lead mining both in the field and museums. Today the Mendips are a major source of aggregates. The Mesozoic formations curve in an arc through southwest and southeast Somerset creating vales and escarpments that define the landscape and clearly have influenced the patterns of soils, land use and settlement as at Porlock. The church building stones mark the outcrops. Wilder country can be found in the Quantocks, Brendon Hills and Exmoor which are underlain by rocks of Devonian age and within which lie sunken blocks (half-grabens) containing Permo-Triassic sediments. The coastline contains exposures of Devonian sediments and tectonics west of Minehead adjoining the classic exposures of Mesozoic sediments and structural features which extend eastward to the Parrett estuary. The predominance of wave energy from the west and the large tidal range of the Bristol Channel has resulted in rapid cliff erosion and longshore drift to the east where there is a full suite of accretionary landforms: sandy beaches, storm ridges, salt marsh, and sand dunes popular with summer visitors.

  • Sedgemoor District Council Somerset West and Taunton Council Somerset County Council
    Sedgemoor District Council Somerset West and Taunton Council Somerset County Council 13 April 2021 Dear Doug, Dawn and Andy HPC Workforce Uplift – Topic Papers and Supporting Information I write following our detailed conversations regarding the HPC workforce uplift and specifically the six topic papers that we have voluntarily developed to assess the impacts and effects of the workforce increase on the conclusions drawn in the DCO Environmental Statement (ES). I am pleased to enclose copies of the six topic papers covering: Accommodation, Transport, Workforce Development, Environment, Health and Community Safety. I also enclose a copy of the Engagement Report which sets out the nature of and the outcomes from our community engagement activity which commenced in January and a revised Spatial Distribution Note which, as you know, underpins the content of the topic papers. Appended to this letter are: (i) an explanatory note from our legal team setting out how we propose draw upon the existing contingency mechanisms under the DCO Section 106 agreement and also to secure voluntary enhancements to existing mitigation measures (Appendix 1) and a summary of the additional monitoring information (Appendix 2) which we intend to share, as appropriate, on an ongoing basis at the Transport Review Group (TRG) and the Socio-Economic Advisory Group (SEAG). As you know, the Topic Papers have been drafted to enable the Local Authorities and EDF to consider whether, in relation to the DCO Section 106 agreement and the relevant strategies and plans under the DCO Section 106 agreement: a) No change would be required; or b) Changes may be appropriate which could be made under the processes set out within the DCO Section 106 agreement; or c) Changes may be appropriate which cannot be approved under the DCO Section 106 agreement itself and therefore would require a modification to the DCO Section 106 agreement.

HON. MICHAEL HESELTINE MP. SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT j 1. In a submission dated 10 December 1979* Taunton Deane Borough Council requested us to review the "boundary between the Borough of Taunton Deane and the District of Sedgemoor in the County of Somerset. The request arose out of Taunton Deane Borough Council's parish "boundary review and followed a proposal made "by the Stoke St. Gregory Parish Council, in Taunton Deane Borough, who had undertaken a survey of local residents. The request was for the formation of a parish for the village of Burrow"bridge, which at present is divided "between five parishes: Stoke St. Gregory in Taunton Deane borough and North Petherton, Westonzoyland, Middlezoy and Othery in Sedgemoor district, and involved the transfer of parts of those parishes into Taunton Deane to form the new parish. 2. Somerset County Council supported the idea of a review. Taunton Deane Borough Council wanted the new parish to "be included within their area but Sedgemoor District Council reserved their position at that stage.. 3. We considered the Borough Council's request, as required by Section 48(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, having regard to the Department of the Environment Circular 33/78 and to our own Report No.
