NHS Somerset is undertaking a public consultation on the future of acute hospital-based stroke services in Somerset. The consultation  runs from Monday 30 January 2023 for 12 weeks until midnight on Monday 24 April 2023.

If you haven't already done so, now is a good time to complete the household survey that will help us produce a Neighbourhood Plan for Bradford Abbas and Clifton Maybank.

Where possible, please keep fuel tanks locked up and alarmed.

Consider installing tanks within a secure building or cage. If it’s not possible to keep your tank inside a building, consider planting spiky shrubs and fencing to hide your tank and surround the area around the tank with gravel.

Many residents turned out to the War Memorial on Sunday 13th to observe a minute's silence and remember the sacrifice that previous generations have made in defence of the country. Wreaths were laid by several in attendance, including by the Parish Council (See image above).

The Parish Council is happy to announce the installation of the new multi-play unit - The Galahad - in the playing field. 

We're so grateful to all those in the community that gave their time so generously to raise money towards the purchase of this play equipment which will be such a popular replacement for its much-loved predecessor.

Particular thanks go to:

A glorious afternoon to celebrate the planting of a glorious tree In commemoration the Queen’s  Jubilee.

With special thanks to Rob Green for planting and the construction of the tree guard, and to the Parish Clerk for organising the planting and the commemorative plaque.

To mark Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee the Parish Council, with the help and generosity of Rob Green, planted a Liquidambar (Sweet Gum) tree in the playing field. 

Following the Parish Council’s unsuccessful attempt to have Gollop's Ground designated a Village Green, the Chair and Vice Chair and two other residents met with the landowners on Friday 3rd September in Gollop's Ground. 

The landowners rejected the Parish Council's proposal to lease or purchase the field for the continued use of the community.
