10/07/2010 Reservoir New
We have been in touch with Bristol Water to check up on what is happening with the proposed new reservoir. In a nutshell, there is nothing to report yet, but we will be told when there is.
The response to our enquiry (from Jeremy Williams at Bristol Water) said "The situation at the moment is that we are negotiating outputs with the Competition Commission / OFWAT. Once agreed we will have more of an idea of what we need to achieve and when. Additionally we are soon to appoint some professional advisors who will assist with the project management of the overall scheme and produce an overall masterplan for the scheme.
I have already undertaken to keep you and all stakeholders updated. In addition, if there is anything new of any significance it will be posted on our website www.bristolwater.co.uk. No date has been set for the consultation process to begin since there is as yet nothing really tangible about which to consult."

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.

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!
26/11/2009 Recycling point
Axbridge Chemist is now collecting household batteries, ink cartridges, spectacles and mobile phones – items not dealt with at present by kerbside collections. These will then be taken to the main recycling depot in Cheddar (thanks to SANE).
26/08/2009 MEADOW STREET CAR PARK
We now own Meadow Street car park! For the next 18 months at least it will continue to be run by Sedgemoor District Council as it always has been. During that time the Town Council will be deciding how best to run the car park after that time, making the most of this asset for the community. Thanks go to all those involved for so many months in tying down the details - dotting the "i"s and crossing the "t"s in the sale.
26/04/2009 Reservoir
Bristol Water has published more information in connection with the planned new reservoir: there is now a summary of a meeting with the Town Council, a Water Resource Plan, and the Final Business Plan Part A.
There are also these links to news items, the second of which has changed since last notifying you:
http://www.bristol-water.co.uk/news/mainNews.asp?newsID=418
http://www.bristol-water.co.uk/news/mainNews.asp?newsID=387
As you will see, it's early days yet to give any concrete details, but Bristol Water appear to be as open as they can.
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.
21/02/2006 Guidance on Commenting on Planning Applications
Sedgemoor District Council has issued guidance on how to comment effectively on planning applications. For more details see the Local Gov't & Services section or click here directly.
