The Planning Application for 40 houses 2024/0406/OUT at Prestleigh Road was Rejected.

The Parish Council was not given the appropriate time to arrange an extraordinary meeting on the matter.

This caused consternation with regards to ensuring that a Cllr could attend the meeting and arrange to speak on behalf of the Parish Council. However, we must thank Cllrs Stanley and Williams for stepping in at such short notice. Also to mention that our Somerset Cllrs Reed and Sully showed full support.

The PC agreed on the Draft Budget with some additions to earmarking items for maintenance.

This will include the Preaching Stone, Once completed it will need ongoing care with regards to moss/algae build up over time. I have not yet received a further update on the current repair.

Regarding The Millennium Gardens; we’d like to reach out to residents for ideas and suggestions regarding its future.

It is an area of concern regarding anti-social behaviour and vandalism but belongs to the village, so your thoughts are important. Please email clerk@evercreech-pc.gov.uk with them.

The Parish Council is committed to ensuring the safety of all headstones at the Cemetery. A recent inspection has identified some headstones that were immediately unsafe, which have now been carefully laid down.

There are several additional headstones requiring attention. We kindly request that you inspect your family plots and notify us of any unstable or loose headstones by contacting clerk@evercreech-pc.gov.uk. Please arrange for any necessary repairs to be carried out by a qualified Stonemason and inform the Parish Council once this work has been completed.

We ask that all required safety measures be implemented by the end of January 2026. If any headstone remains unsafe after this date, the Parish Council will be obligated to lay them down.Thank you for your cooperation.

Evercreech Cross

The monument has been repaired and made safe, ensuring its preservation. Despite unexpected delays and significant costs, the Parish Council contributed to the repairs, although they do not claim ownership of the cross.

We thank SW Heritage, B2 Architects, and Minerva for their support on this project.

The PC welcomed our newest Cllr Daryl Issitt.

This means we have the full quota for Parish Council Cllrs.

Date & time of next meeting, 02 12 25, Evercreech Village Hall, 7.00 pm

Lesley Parham, Chair, Evercreech Parish Council
