For the second time in a couple of months the road signs along the A396 have been deliberately damaged. If you can shed any light on who did this, please reply to this email. This is a crime which has been reported to the Police.
Somerset Council have already replaced one of the 30mph signs , only to have it damaged again a few weeks later. This is mindless damage , which has to be paid for by all of us who are tax payers.
If you see anybody interfering with the road signs in the future please call the Police on 999, if the damage is in progress.
If you are able to get a registration number, photo, or description that would be wonderful but please do not put yourself in danger as this person is clearly deranged.
‘Beloved father, grandfather, great grandfather and step father, David Roberts passed away quickly and peacefully in Musgrove hospital on the 21st September having recently celebrated his 97th birthday. We would like to thank everybody who has contacted us to express their sorrow. Anyone who knew my father will remember him for his lovely quiet gentle manners and respect for others as well as a dry sense of humour. He adopted Timberscombe as his home in his 50s and loved every moment of living here: the kindness and friendliness of the people and the stunning scenery and the wonderful wildlife. We would like especially to thank Hazel Crockford, Angela Gummer, Jess Jenks, Jill Glover who took great care of him and Jeremy Ely who continues to take great care of the gorgeous garden.
My father specifically told us that he didn’t want any kind of celebration after he passed away and confirmed this in his will. However we will be organising a memorial in a few months time when things have settled down and anybody who would like to join us to celebrate his life, will be welcome.
