This is a reminder that a further meeting to consider proposals for development at Roughmoor Lane will be held in the village hall on Sunday 27th at 6.00 – 7.30 pm. All are welcome. The village hall committee has asked that numbers be restricted to 40 and Covid precautions (masks, hand sanitiser etc.) continue to be followed. However, since numbers at previous meetings have never exceeded 40, we will not be asking people to book a place.
A number of working groups are preparing papers to help inform villagers of the implications of the development so that they may prepare their responses. When the authors agree they are ready, they will be made available on the village website. The first of these, concerned with the implications of development for biodiversity, can be seen here .

A helpful document posted by Robin Shellard here.   He also makes the useful point that those who want no development at all and those who just want to make it better can use the same argument.  The Mendip Plan highlights the need for a safe pedestrian route to the village core.   If the developers fail to provide one it is a strong argument for refusing their plans. If they provide one (and its their job to work out how) we get a much needed improvement

A local group in Somerset have been working with Somerset County Council to improve bus services within the county.  They are currently looking for a representative in the area who uses the buses on a regular basis to attend meetings and provide feedback.  If you are interested please contact the Parish Clerk on clerk@westburysubmendip-pc.gov.uk
