Because of the weather patterns this year bracken is smothering the bluebells at Moldram's Ground. A few people have been pulling the bracken to give the bluebells a chance to thrive. Please contact Elizabeth Carter if you are able to spend a short while helping. She will be there at 2:30pm this Tuesday & Thursday. Let her know if you wish to join her.…

Work has started on repainting the telephone box in Bleak Street that houses the defibrillator. Although at times there may be wet paint the defibrillator itself will still be continuously available if needed.

Wednesday 26th update. It seems that Wessex Water is less certain that the leak is their water and not a spring, so they are going to retest. Meantime roads are back to normal. Not impressed by them at all. Unnecessary disruption. Thanks to Rick for chasing up the inefficient lot!
Wednesday 26th March. Job cancelled (postponed), signs removed, road open.
Investigations by Wessex Water have determined that their water is leaking into an…

Once again lots of people turned out for the village litter pick so everything should be looking extra special now. Pen Ridge is becoming a bit of a black spot with nitrous oxide cannisters littering the verges. Dog mess bags also continue to blight the scene too.

The worst of the two close together potholes has been fixed but badly, so they will come back to hopefully do a better job. Still chasing to get the other fixed. 14/03/25

The PCA uses some of its fundraising money to support 2 local and 2 national/international charities each year, and these are chosen by secret ballot at each AGM. This year we want to trial any resident of Penselwood being able to nominate 1 local and 1 national/international charity in advance of the AGM. All those nominated will be collated and people attending the AGM will vote from that list. The top 2 local and top 2 national will be supported in 2025. In this way you…
