Plans unveiled for new Community Farm - 28th Aug' 09 |
|
Plans have been unveiled for the first ever Peasedown St John Community Farm.
Located on the edge of the village on Dunkerton Hill, resident Andy Hall, youth worker Bridie Marshall and a local councillor Nathan Hartley have been working together for several months to set up the project.
The initiative, which has received the support of TV personality Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall in June, hopes to encourage residents to find out more about where their food comes from and the benefits of a sustainable lifestyle.
Cllr Nathan Hartley is pictured on the Community Farm site where development will start over the next few weeks.

Village Phone Boxes Under Threat Again - 27th Aug '09 |
|
Telephone boxes in 6 villages just outside Bath are once again under threat of removal by BT. Notices have been posted in the traditional, red boxes offering local communities the opportunity to ‘adopt’ the boxes without the telephone service so as to preserve them as a heritage feature. However if the box is adopted, the telephone service will be withdrawn. And if it is not adopted, they will press for closure anyway.

Open Letter to Newspapers - 17th Aug '09 |
|
Dear Editor,
News that the economies of Germany, France and Japan are coming out of recession faster than the UK comes as no surprise. Their economies, although still heavily reliant on the financial sector, also have a strong manufacturing base. This country should be learning lessons about a buoyant economy, looking at expanding its manufacturing sector and investing in British Industry. Relying on private companies to do this just will not work unless they can see a ready market.

Cllr Sarah Bevan's garden is the first on the list in the new PALS initiative.

Road surface ‘like Mexico’ says Councillor - 22nd July '09 |
|
Councillor Neil Butters (Lib Dem, Bathavon South), who represents the villages south of Bath, has called for the B3110 between Hinton Charterhouse and the Somerset County Council Border to be resurfaced as a matter of priority. The road is currently in very poor condition with bald patches and loose gravel.
“I recently met some visiting cyclists who were also complaining about the road surface and said it was the worst they had encountered on their travels.”
Councillor Butters, Gail Coleshill and Elizabeth James on the B3110 at the border with Somerset County Council.
