Local Plan Choices Consultation

The North Somerset Local Plan Choices Consultation is currently active and will close on 14th December.

This consultation asks for views on where an additional 15K of houses should be sited within North Somerset. There are four options for distributing the homes across North Somerset: one option to retain the Green Belt and three options where housing is placed on the Green Belt.

You can view the TRAG consultation response at: Local Plan Choices consultation response – (trag.org.uk)

VILLAGE FIELD and PLAYGROUND

Boules Court edging/seating and seat

Work has been continuing on several projects during the autumn. Not helped by the early October monsoon we have completed the boules court edging/seating – and are indebted to Avril’s Fencing for very kindly donating the timbers. We have also installed an additional picnic table for the playground and a seat in the lower field.

On Friday 4 December the new (and mature, its already 3-4m high) oak tree is being planted in the lower field. Should the prevailing pandemic restrictions allow then in conjunction with the village school we will be holding a short ceremony at the tree – to welcome it to the field and village! We would like anyone who is interested to attend this should they wish, so look out for notices/emails around the village much nearer the time stating whether we are able to run this event.

Walking Footy was running on Sundays at 10:30AM – please contact Alan Hooley should you wish to join once the current Lockdown has been lifted.

Congratulations to this month’s lottery winner – Andrew Hirst. If you would like to join please contact Bob Beale or Dave Ellison 07791-748967 / the_ellisons@hotmail.co.uk
