We are pleased to announce a new listing in our Local Business Directory - Chris Norman Electrical.


22/01/2012 Axbridge Civic Awards New

The next Civic Award holders have been chosen!

We can't tell you who has won just yet, but will shortly. We will be presenting awards at a Celebration of Axbridge Community on 26th February 2012, which will be held in St. John the Baptist Church. Please note that the Church welcomes everybody - you don't need to be a regular churchgoer to come along: this is about the award-winners and giving them the recognition they deserve. But thanks go once again to Revd Tim and all those helping for providing such a splendid setting at the heart of the town.

As a reminder, here are some pictures of the very first Axbridge Civic Service.


22/01/2012 New reservoir New

You will undoubtedly have heard by now that the new reservoir is planned for Cheddar rather than Axbridge. Details of the proposals can be found here.


22/01/2012 Cold weather precautions New

The salting and gritting appears to be happening now, after an initial hiccup. Please note that the only road being regularly gritted is the bus route through the town, i.e. Houlgate Way - Old Church Road - the Square - St. Mary Street - Cheddar Road.

For those of you who feel inclined, you can follow the gritter on Twitter: just look for @somersetgritter.

Secondly, if you need grit for other roads, you can call our Clerk on 07884264033, and she will be able to arrange for collection (or delivery) of bags of grit. (Please note - for use in public spaces, not private drives or paths).

10/7/2010 Youth Shelter on the Furlong

The Youth Shelter has been recently vandalised. This is a huge shame, since it has been put there with the efforts of the young people from Axbridge. We have made it safe, and will be looking at the possibility of getting it repaired, but any mistreatment should be reported to the police immediately.


10/07/2010 Regalia

We have added a new page to show more information about the Axbridge Mayor's regalia, under the Town Council page.


04/01/2010 The Axbridge Streets and Parking Improvement Plan

The Axbridge Action Group commissioned a "Streets and Parking Improvement Plan for Axbridge" from Haire Landscape Consultants in October 2008. The Group asked for the support of the Town Council to trial certain of the elements of the plan, and the Town Council suggested that the necessary support of the Town Trust be gained before any decisions were made. This is now being sought, and the in the meantime, a copy of the final report is available to view here.

The improvements being proposed by the Action Group for implementation relate to a) the creation of a pedestrian only area in front of Co-op and the Museum for a trial period, b) the creation of a number of traffic-calming “gateways” in the main through route for a trial period, and c) the extension of the paving of the Square along Meadow Street towards the car-park.

When the view of the Town Trust is known, the proposals will be discussed by the Town Council, so if it's close to your heart, keep an eye on the agendas for the next meetings, which you can always find in the Council pages here, and come along to have your say!


23/03/2007 Conservation Area Planning Guidance
