05/07/2008 Sedgemoor Affordable Housing New
Sedgemoor District Council is running an Affordable Housing Open Day at the Regional Rural Business Centre in Bridgwater on Thursday 17 July 2008 between 1600 hrs and 1930 hrs.
Visitors will have the opportunity to receive advice and guidance from a range of local experts including estate agents, house builders, housing associations, mortgage companies, financial advisors and representatives from Sedgemoor District Council’s Housing Services.
The free open day will give visitors the chance to register for affordable housing, gain information on a new Choice Based Lettings system, find out about a range of affordable housing products and also obtain information about where new homes are proposed.
Sedgemoor District Council is exploring ways of improving the quantity of affordable housing across the district and welcomes enquiries from Landowners with plots of land for potential development, especially in the rural locations. The event is also an opportunity for employers and businesses to tell the Council about its employee’s housing requirements both now and into the future. There are a few stands still available and any organisation interested in a stand should contact the Council’s Affordable Housing Project Officer, Mary Chorley by ( 01278 435556 or email affordablehousing@sedgemoor.gov.uk.

05/07/2008 Sustainable Axbridge Network New
Here are some notes from the Sustainable Axbridge Network.
29/06/2008 June Oyez
The new issue of Oyez will probably have already been put through your door by now. If not, here it is.
07/06/2008 Cycling Group
You will no doubt have seen the new Cycling Group mentioned in the local press. If you'd like to participate, you will be made very welcome. The next outing is on Sunday 13th July (see the What's On page).
The Cycling Group now has its own page in the Clubs and Organisation section of our website: see their page here.
16/05/2008 Changes to Rubbish & Recycling collections
You will by now have received your new bins for the "trial" of new kerbside collections. Sedgemoor managed to catch us out with the dates, so we have new dates on the calendar mentioned below. The first collection on 21st May will be Food & Non-Recyclabes, NOT recyclables as we might reasonably have expected. This obviously means that it will be three weeks between the last Recyclables collection and the first one under the new regime.
The press release from Sedgemoor District Council gives more information, and the leaflet spells out the details.
In short, you will have to separate food waste for weekly collection. Non-recyclables will be collected one week, and recyclables (now including plastic bottles and cardboard), will be on the second week.
Please note that the collection of plastic bottles means bottles only: don't try to be too clever and include recycling symbols in the equation - just bottles because that's all the firm doing the recycling take (presumably for shipping to China!).
The new regime starts on Wednesday 21st May, as per the calendar on the Litter & Recycling page.
05/05/2008 Sustainable Axbridge Network
Here are some notes about the moves to form an environmentally aware group in Axbridge to address issues of sustainability in the community. All are welcome to get involved!
17/04/2008 RNLI events
The RNLI has published an updated calendar of local events for 2008.
13/04/2008 Reservoir update
Message from Andy at Costain Ltd, working at the reservoir: All of the major works are now completed on the pumping station site and the new woodland area has been planted. We are waiting for a dry spell to complete the full reinstatement of the pipeline that goes across to the sewerage works- hopefully we shall get some decent weather soon!
The final pipe and drainage works along the toe of the reservoir should be completed next week and we are hoping to get the original hard track reopened as soon as the permanent fencing is installed along the reservoir base. I have noticed that the grass is starting to grow well now and the scarring is disappearing- give it another month and I think it will look really good. The path should be open in the next 2-3 weeks.
The new plant is fully operational and we are at present training the Bristol Water Staff on how to use it. We are hoping to have a public open day sometime in May and show the public what BW has spent the £7m on!
There is some de-mob of the temporary offices etc and a general site and access road tidy up to make it fit for the open day.
30/03/2008 Town Council seeks to buy Meadow Street Car Park
The Town Council has submitted a bid for Meadow Street Car Park to Sedgemoor District Council. At this stage, nothing is binding, and before any decision is made there will be a public meeting to explain the bid if Sedgemoor District Council are interested in it. This will allow the Town Council to judge whether Axbridge thinks it is a commitment the Town wants to make. Press Release here.
20/03/2008 Meadow Street Car Park
The issue of Meadow Street Car Park continues to receive the Town Council's concerted attention. Next steps will be considered at a Special Council Meeting on Wednesday 26th March. Unfortunately some of this will have to be behind closed doors since it will involve potential contractual matters. Please be assured that the Town Council will consult the residents fully before any final decisions are made, but at the moment time is of the essence, so we are getting as far as we can in ascertaining what our options are. If you have any questions, please contact the Clerk or a councillor.
20/03/2008 Lengthsman
If you see a helpful chap around the town doing useful jobs like clearing paths, litter picking, painting etc, this is probably our new Lengthsman Andy Laken. Say "hello" and give him a big welcome. He will be putting in 16 hours a month, paid for by the Town Council. Under the direction of Councillor Jim Lukins, he has already started to do a number of useful and much-appreciated jobs. If you have suggestions about things which need doing for the benefit of the Town, please get in touch with Cllr. Lukins and let him know.
20/03/2008 Roxy films
The Axbridge Film Society has a new programme of films for the Spring. Visit the Roxy website for more information about films, tickets, membership etc. Or alternatively call in at the Roxy to pick up a leaflet, or look at the noticeboard outside the Roxy at 36 High Street, Axbridge.
20/03/2008 Recycling & Rubbish

29/10/2007 Community Allotment
If you are interested in a Community Allotment in Axbridge, please come to the Farmers' Market on the 3rd November and have a look at the Town Council's stall, where two local residents will be putting forward their suggestion.
Perhaps you want to grow your own veg; reduce your food miles; want to share your knowledge? Maybe you want to help give Axbridge First School children a chance to learn about growing their own food? Or perhaps you would like to strengthen the community and make new friends? For whatever reason, please come along and have a look at the information which will be available, or email axbridgeallotment@hotmail.co.uk at any time.
23/03/2007 Conservation Area Planning Guidance
Sedgemoor District Council has published a leaflet covering issues like planning consent for work on buildings within the conservation area. Living in a Conservation Area A Guide for Owners and Occupiers is here to look at or print.
We also still have the General Advice on Commenting on Planning Applications mentioned previously. Both are also available on the Local Gov't & Services section.
27/02/2007 Townsend Junction
Everyone must be aware by now how dangerous the junction of Townsend and the slip road is. Unfortunately those responsible for the safety of our roads don't agree, and as a result, we are asking for details of any accidents or near-misses from now on. We will log all the details we receive, and hopefully be able to build a case which must be answered by improved safety measures at the junction.
Please log details of any accidents you are involved in or any near-misses you have with the Town Council, either by using the new Townsend Feedback Form, or by writing to the clerk (see the Contact Us page).
Information should preferably include date, time of day, your precise location and that of the other vehicle(s), weather conditions, estimated speeds, and whatever else you think may help us build a better picture.
