Please keep hedge clear !

The hedge around the Village Hall car park will be cut this Friday, 29th August.

The contractor will need sufficient access on both side of the hedge to get his tractor close to the hedge.

We would be very grateful if no cars are parked near this hedge on Friday.

This includes the corner of the hedge on the roadside, where the hedge meets the link fence.

Rubbish collections this week

Somerset Council has announced that there will be no recycling or rubbish collections taking place on Bank Holiday Monday, 25 August.

Collection days will change across Somerset following the bank holiday.

All collections will move back 1 day.

If a resident’s usual collection day is Monday, it will now take place on Tuesday.

Tuesday collections will be moved to Wednesday, Wednesday collections to Thursday, and so on.

For those who usually have a Friday collection, their collection will be rescheduled to Saturday 30 August.

If opening on a Monday is part of the Recycling Site’s opening days, then it will be open as usual from 9am to 6pm on Bank Holiday Monday.

To help manage the increased volume of recycling, residents are encouraged to make extra space in their recycling boxes by crushing and flattening their recyclables.

This simple step can make a difference to help reduce the number of trips crews need to make to empty their vehicles.

For more information about what can be collected for recycling and to check a collection day, visit the Council’s Bins, recycling and waste page.

Yoga Classes

If you’re staying home this bank holiday, why not come and join us at Wootton Courtenay on Monday morning for a gently energising yoga practice?

I am writing from Somerset Sight, a local charity that supports visually impaired people in Somerset. We would be grateful if you could please display the attached posters to help promote these Somerset Sight events and services.
Mobile Advisory Service dates: Our MAS visits a different town or village in Somerset every day and is stocked with various gadgets and resources that can assist the visually impaired. People are welcome to visit the MAS if they wish to buy anything or are simply seeking advice and guidance. No appointment needed.
Volunteers Needed: We are always looking for new volunteers to visit and support visually impaired people across Somerset so that they feel less lonely and isolated.
Yarlington: Yarlington House Car Boot and Country Fair is a very important fundraiser for Somerset Sight. Various stallholders will be on site selling their goods, there will be classic cars to view and numerous games and events including a Dog Show, a Tombola, Welly Throwing and Splat The Rat. Donations for the Tombola would be very welcome and appreciated.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards, Alex Finlayson, Administrator, Somerset Sight
