Newsletter November 2020

As I write this in the late summer sun, it is hard to believe that I am already writing for the October magazine, but with the playing field hedges cut and ongoing tree maintenance work from out tree surgeon it is a sure sign that we are well through autumn.

The COVID 19 virus is raising its head again, so October’s Parish Council meeting on the 6th Oct. will again be on zoom. We are expecting a planning application in for the Greencore site, so we will see how many of the villager’s requests are included, and I expect a lively debate.

We try to keep in touch with residents however we can, so you may have already seen our facebook page pop up on What’s up in Evercreech. We have disabled comments, but if you feel strongly about any issue, on Facebook or not, please contact the clerk, clerk@evercreech-pc.gov.uk

I shall finish with good news and requests for ideas. You may have heard that with help from our District Councillor Barry O’Leary we have received a COVID easing grant from Mendip D C of £10,000. This unexpected windfall is warmly welcomed, of course, but the question is, what do we use it for? The Councillors will be putting forward ideas, but if you have a pressing issue or pet project that will benefit the community, please e-mail the clerk at the above address. We know there is a lively community spirit out there, so let us help put it to work!

Thanks for reading, keep well and stay safe.

Rob Reed

Chair, Evercreech Parish Council
