07/06/2009 Reservoir Swimming Danger New
Bristol Water have issued a very strong warning about the dangers of swimming in the "rez". Recently there were a couple of incidents where groups swam and caused a lot of damage to and around the yacht club. Aside from issuing warnings, liaising with the police, posting warning signs and sending as many security patrols around as they can, there is a limit to what they can do to resolve this. Unless the situation improves soon, though, and the community helps us to control the problem, they will have to consider simply closing the reservoir access at certain times other than to authorised users. This is the last thing they would want to do but they cannot simply wait for a fatality there.
07/06/2009 Warm Streets New

Does anyone have any old photographs dating back to the early 1900’s which show the town hall clock? Please contact Mike Anderson on 01934 732368 or mike@hale-events.com. They are needed as evidence to re-instate a more attractive surround to the clock, which is now working!

The new calendar is here on the Litter & Recycling page.

22/2/2009 Youth Shelter on the Furlong
You will no doubt have noticed the new youth shelter finally in place on the Furlong. This project was started quite a while ago in response to a request from young people in the town, and we would encourage all those using it to bear this in mind: it's your shelter, so look after it!
we hope to be adding a few final touches over the coming weeks: lighting and a solid base are being considered. It's been a bit muddy recently around there, but then again, where hasn't?

14/11/2008 Rubbish
By now you will no doubt have had a note from Sedgemoor about rubbish collections, which you will need to look at! They have changed what is collected on which day: instead of recyclables one week and non-recyclables the next, it is now paper, glass etc AND non-recyclables one week, and plastic bottles and card the next. Food waste is still collected each week. We have revised the calendar here for your reference.
05/10/2008 MEADOW STREET CAR PARK
The Town Council is pleased to report that the following resolution was passed at the recent Parish Meeting on Monday 29th September:-
'That this meeting supports the proposal by Axbridge Town Council to purchase Meadow Street Car Park, Axbridge and for the appropriate necessary borrowing'
The resolution was passed with 68 votes for, and 2 against.
We will now be looking at arranging the necessary funding to purchase this vital asset for the Town as soon as we can, and as well as raising the necessary funds, we will of course be trying to find grant funding as well. As ever, your Town Council will keep you up-to-date with developments as they occur.
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.
