Showing pride in our places: Wembdon Parish Council supports residents pledging to pick one bag of litter for charity’s Great British Spring Clean campaign.
During the Great British Spring Clean 2023 we are encouraging residents and businesses in Wembdon to pledge to do their bit to clear up the litter that blights the country.
This year’s mass campaign, from 17 March to 2 April, brings together individuals, community organisations, businesses and councils to make a difference to the environment on our doorstep – and the charity is keen to stress that litter picking can be accessible to everybody.
Wembdon Parish Council is calling on residents to show pride in their area by pledging on Keep Britain Tidy’s website to pick a bag or more of litter, helping make a huge difference to the environment.
We would like you to email a photo of your group of volunteers with their bags of rubbish, the name of your group, and permission for us to publicise the photo, to clerk@wembdon.org. Written parental permission is required for any photos which include under-16s. Certificates will be sent to the volunteer groups. If you would like to receive a certificate then please include your address and contact number, which will not be published.

Somerset County Council have announced that road works will start on the A39 Quantock Road between the cemetery and Skimmerton Lane on Sunday 5th March.
The purpose of the work is the construction of the new 4-way signal-controlled junction providing access to the new housing developments either side of Quantock Road. There will also be a junction with a new secondary access to the Cokerhurst Farm development on the Wembdon side of the road.
It has been stated that if temporary traffic lights or road closures are required, they will only take place at night. The work is expected to continue until 1st June.
The roadside signs announcing the closure of Wembdon Hill from 13th to 15th March were placed there in error by Jurassic Fibre and have now been removed thanks to intervention by your Parish Council.
We are pleased to inform you that at present there are no plans to close Wembdon Hill.
Jurassic Fibre have now given us revised dates for their work on Wembdon Rise.

We’re writing to update you about the temporary closure of the above Post Office.

The closing date for the consultation is March 29th.
Somerset County Council will be closing Monmouth Street and Broadway, from the Cross Rifles Roundabout to the junction with Salmon Parade, and St Johns Street from Monmouth Street to Polden Street. The closures be between 18:30 and 23:00 daily. The closures are to enable traffic light refurbishment and resurfacing.
Although the preparation work for the refurbishment of the traffic lights started on 9th February, as previously announced, the overnight closures did not.
The closures are now planned to start on 9th March and continue until 5th May.
The online map shows the extent of the closure, and the official closure notice is also online. The diversion route is shown on the online map, but is difficult to unravel! The route will probably be signposted.
