This is just a quick update as we have not had a full Parish Council meeting since September but did hold an Extraordinary Meeting on 1st October to co-opt two new Parish Councillors. We are very pleased to welcome Alan Keating and Danielle Parker to the council. However, we do still have 3 vacancies and notices have been posted on notice boards. Discussions regarding areas of responsibility for councillors will be discussed at our November meeting on Thursday 12th November. It has always been acknowledged that the more councillors we have, the less the workload on each individual. Unfortunately, the cricket shed was broken into with some damage but it seems nothing was stolen. The Village Hall committee reported this to the police and have a crime reference number. Locking the Village Hall gate will continue as it does seem to be working in at least reducing vandalism issues. We are also holding a meeting on Thursday 22nd October to discuss a response to the An Der Ecke planning application - 20/03620/FUL. Update reports on agenda items such as Climate Crisis, Items of Community Value and the Weekly Email Communication will be presented at the November meeting as well as any ideas councillors may have received regarding improvements in the play area. It has also been reported that there is an ongoing issue with dog mess in the village, this will be discussed as well. The agenda together with the remote link for you to join the meeting will be on notice boards and on the website the week before the next meeting on Thursday 12th November. As always, please contact me should you have any concerns, ideas or issues on 01761 431068. Jean Fossaceco – Clerk to Shoscombe Parish Council Do you rely on oil for your central heating and hot water? If the answer is ‘yes’, then now is probably a shrewd time to top up your tank. Demand for oil has dropped with the outbreak of Coronavirus. This in turn has led to a significant drop in oil prices. Kaz Adams, from the charity West of England Rural Network, says “Whilst we would generally advise all our members to fill up their oil tanks during the summer months (the time when most oil suppliers experience a quieter period and are therefore generally more willing to negotiate a lower price) it would appear shrewd to do so NOW”. Kaz runs a community oil buying scheme, which obtains cheaper prices for its members by placing a single large order once a month and negotiating with multiple local suppliers to get the best price. Members’ prices are on average 6 pence per litre cheaper than average high street oil prices, and was 24.65p per litre (plus VAT) in October 2020. The West of England Rural Network (with thanks to a grant awarded by Quartet Community Foundation from their ‘Surviving Winter’ fund) is offering free memberships (*normally £20/year for domestic users) to domestic heating oil users living in the west of England aged 70 and over who, especially during Covid, may find they are having to juggle their fuel bills and worry about putting on their heating. The Community Oil Buying Scheme is open to all residents of Bath and North East Somerset, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire and Bristol. Local community buildings such as village halls, schools and churches can also benefit from the scheme, as well as businesses such as farms, shops and offices If you are interested in joining the Community Oil Buying Scheme, contact Kaz Adams on Tel: 07825 202043, Email: [email protected] or visit http://www.wern.org.uk/community-oil-buying-scheme/ N O V E M B E R 2 0 2 0 | V O L . 1 3 Friends of Foxcote October 14th Meeting It was a dark cold evening on October 14th when the Friends Executive Committee met at Foxcote to discuss the work of caring for the Church building. Their particular concern was the crack which has appeared in the chancel wall. Mr Stephen Clewes chaired the meeting and the Friends were grateful for his professional knowledge. The matter will now be referred to the P.C.C. who will meet on 21st October so that plans can be discussed and formalised. Fund raising will be needed and already a novel idea has been suggested. Carole Stevenson will be celebrating her 80th birthday on December 22nd and would like to hold a small celebration from 10.30 a.m. to 3.00 p.m. in the Village Hall, and obviously, current Covid restrictions would be observed. Carole is inviting us all to come to the hall and enjoy a glass of sherry/wine and a slice of birthday cake. Instead of bringing a present, Carole is suggesting we give a donation, however small, towards the cost of repairing the Church wall. If you are unable to attend, but would like to send Carole a donation, it will be much appreciated. A raffle will be held during the event. October 21st Meeting At the meeting on 21st October, the matter discussed was the crack in Foxcote chancel wall. Investigative plans were passed by Foxcote with Shoscombe P.C.C. in order to acquire the necessary Statement of Significance, due to Foxcote Church being a Grade 2 Listed Building. The following fund raising suggestions were discussed: Carole's Birthday celebration, Village Hall, 22nd December 10.30 a.m. to 3.00.p.m. Flower Festival, June 2021 at Foxcote Church. Garden visits 2021. Possible Centenary Celebrations 2021. Calendar 2022, Foxcote and Shoscombe views with recipes, in memory of Hazel Jones Shoscombe & Foxcote Honey Honey and honeycomb from Shoscombe and Foxcote bees 1lb jars of locally produced Honey £5.50 [email protected] 07583 356508 N O V E M B E R 2 0 2 0 | V O L . 1 3 Shoscombe Local History Group Crimes and Misdemeanours Part 2 Below are some of the crimes and misdemeanours taken from local papers occurring in the Parish of Shoscombe. For obvious reasons names have been changed. 1904 Frank Mudge of Shoscombe was summoned for stealing and converting to his own use 1½ lb. of butter, ½ lb. of tea, ½lb. of cocoa, one candle, 1lb. of salt fish, some beef, three cups and saucers, and a print frock, value 10s., all the things belonging to Fanny Rabbits. There was a doubt in the case, which was dismissed. Martin Pearce a local baker was summoned for delivering bread from a cart without having proper weights or a sufficient balance with which to weigh it. Fined 10s to cover costs or 7 days imprisonment. 1909 John Hall, a native of Single Hill, was charged of stealing a reaping hook, value 2s.6p., the property of Fred Ross, labourer of Faulkland. It appeared that Ross hid the reaping hook under some sacks and when he went to get it he found it was gone. Information was given to the police and P.C. Wallace found the reaping hook under some flooring adjoining a pigsty at Stony Littleton in which the defendant slept. Defendant was sentenced to 21 days imprisonment with hard labour 1918 Mr E Dauncy of Shoscombe Vale, in his letter to the council, wrote saying that whilst driving in Fortescue Road Radstock his horse was thrown down owing to the slippery condition of the tar sprayed road. The fall caused the horse to be lame. It would be unable to work for 3 months. He appealed to the council for compensation Mr Dauncy thought the tar on the roads was an abomination, and out of sympathy for the horses, if not for the people that owned them, it should not be used on the roads.
