Wessex Water plan some mains sewer repair/replacement works on Bayford Hill just over the brow as you drop into Wincanton.  Roughly adjacent to the new houses building site.

UK.one.network says road closure and advance notice yellow road closure signs are already out.  No indication yet of diversion.  I will update if I get more info.

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.

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…

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.

Wessex Water are fixing a couple of leaks in Combe Street.  This work should finish Thursday or Friday.  Mostly you should be able to get through, but this is not guaranteed.

The road closed sign at the foot of Long Lane can probably be ignored as access to the Combe St/Bleak St junction seems unaffected.

You can use the very useful website one.network  to check on roadworks.  Just keep zooming in on your place of interest.

The Flower & Produce Show returns to the Fete this year after a two year gap.  Please enter as much as you can to help us get it back up and running bigger and brighter than ever.

6am starts for crews as temperatures soar

Recycling and rubbish collections will start an hour earlier for the rest of this week in response to rising temperatures.

Somerset Waste Partnership (SWP) is asking residents to make sure their waste is ready for collection from 6am putting it out the night before if needed.

Waste collection is hard, physical work and early starts help limit the time crews spend working in the hottest part of the day.

The early starts may…

The Black Bin Café will be open this Friday, 21st January.  Under present regulations for village halls masks must be worn except when eating or drinking.  Staff will all be masked.

We look forward to seeing you.
