Community Litter Picking: Saturday 23rd November 2024
Meet: 10 am at East Street Car Park
Let’s try to pick up as much litter from the streets, roads and lanes of our lovely village as we can! Parents, why not bring your children and make this a family activity, at the same time as teaching them about the importance of caring for their environment? (Please note that primary school aged children must be accompanied by a responsible adult). Equipment will be provided by Somerset Council but please wear bright jackets/tops for visibility. Finish: 12 noon back at East Street Car Park, then you are invited to the Town Hall for ‘thank you’ refreshments. Or you can recover from your exertions in The Tippling Philosopher across the road!
‘A thing of beauty is a joy forever:’ (John Keats 1785-1821)
If you are a regular user of East Street, you will probably have noticed the fabulous job done by Darren Jenkins on mending part of the wall next to the car park which collapsed earlier this year. Many thanks to Darren for his excellent craftsmanship!
Autumn Swift Box Initiative
Would you like to do something positive to support wildlife in your area? Swifts are on the RSPB’s Red List of conservation concern. At the Management Meeting in September, Committee members resolved to sell swift boxes at a reduced price to residents who would like to install one (or more!) on their property (subject to Listed Building Consent if appropriate). If you are interested in taking us up on this offer, please contact Simon Pritchard to discuss the options.
