Home Start West Somerset

 

We did it!  The weather was perfect, the West Somerset coastline was beautiful. Lots of people took part along the way. Sponsorship money is still coming in. It looks as if we have raised a good sum. Home Start West Somerset can continue its great work. We are tired after many miles but will be tireless in making sure the money is used for the benefit of young families in West Somerset. Heartfelt thanks to everyone who sponsored me.

Great House Street Update

Following the successful conclusion of the Wessex Water work in Great House Street, Somerset Highways department have finally accepted that the water on the road in GHS is not from a water main but is, in fact, from an underwater stream.

As a result of pressure from the Parish Council and our county councillors the Assistant Highway Service Manager has now visited the site and has made plans to divert the water into a nearby drain, before it crosses the roadway. This plan will require the agreement of Wessex Water before work can begin. The manager has forwarded plans to the council contractor, Kier, for them to undertake the work. 

Unfortunately, Kier are well behind with their programme of work, so the work might still take some time to complete but it is , at last, on their schedule of work. Hurrah !!!
