Councillors at Work

Chipstable Parish Councillors have been hard at work to create a parking area for up to 10 cars near to St Michael\’s Church in Raddington. This work has been undertaken initially to assist Raddington Music Festival but will also benefit Raddington and the Church in the future.

Cllr. Dave Grandfield, Chairman and Cllr Edwyn Mills cleared the site and then with the help of a friend laid the scalpings to create this useful space.

A New Number for SCC

  • As some of you may be aware the new Telephone Number for ALL  enquiries to Somerset County Council is : 0300 123 2224

  • The reason behind this is to make it easier and cheaper to contact SCC.  Anyone with free minutes as part of their landline or mobile call plan will automatically be abele to call 0300 123 2224 for free (so long as they are within their free minutes allocation), which was not the case with the 0845 number.

  • Minutes for the Annual Parish Council meeting 3rd June 2015 will follow shortly.

The re-organisation of the Library Service has been recently advertised and has formed part of a re-structure within Somerset County Council.  Please be aware that as a result the Mobile Library service will be changing from 1st August 2015. Details of new routes and stops can be found at www.somerset.gov.uk/libraryconsultation
