The Parish Council is very much aware of the concerns raised by residents regarding the ongoing water and ice issues in Great House Street. We have been actively pressing Somerset Highways for a resolution for more than three years. However, due to limited resources and extensive roadworks currently taking place in surrounding areas (including Cutcombe, Nutcombe and Dunster), this work was placed on a very long list of necessary roadworks.

We are pleased to confirm that the works to redirect the water to the river have now been scheduled for the 2026/27 financial year. The final solution is still under discussion, but we are hopeful that a permanent solution will be in place before next winter.
