I understand Wessex Water may be back, yet again, for some repair woks in Coombe Street.  Signage and one.network suggest a closure somewhere down near Pen Mill cutting off access from and to Zeals.  Might last until Friday.  If anyone has updated info as the week progresses, please let me know and I'll post on this website.

I understand that Wessex Water are back in Pen to fix a domestic water leak just below Queen's grove.  Official info and one.network suggest a possible closure there until 25th November.  Previous experience suggests it may not be that bad or that long but exercise caution.

This Friday, 25th November there will be a sale of lovely hand-made items by locals in the lobby of the village hall alongside the Black Bin Cafe, 1030-12.30.

I was told about this website (www.travelsomerset.co.uk) at the last Parish Council meeting.  It sounded useful so I took a look.  This is how they describe it:

This service by Somerset County Council aims to provide reliable and up-to-date information about roads across Somerset to help you make informed choices about your journey.

On this website you will find our map showing current and future roadworks as well as live…

Thank you all very much to those of you that have supported Eryl’s campaign for the village funding of a new ‘Royal’(?) Oak tree, to replace the original oak that sadly lost its existence due to Storm Eunice. It was a beautiful tree ~ clearly loved & admired by many.  It stood so proudly in our lower field which – rather ironically – we had named Oak Tree field on our arrival to Penselwood.…

Bleak St west of Coombe St/Long Lane junction will be closed over some 65m from 9th to 11th November inclusive as Wessex Water carry out more work.

Please see Events for more details.
