Kier on behalf of Somerset Council will be undertaking works to resolve reported safety defects including potholes.

The road closure is expected to last one day only and the road will be reopened once works have completed.

Four big tree planting schemes were completed in N Curry Parish this spring by local volunteers. A total of over 1,600 trees and shrubs were planted at Knapp Woods farm, Newport, Haymoor End and  Helland. Thanks to the Parish Council, N Curry Environment Group and Re-imagining the Levels for their help.

The upcoming Easter weekend means changes to recycling and rubbish collections across the county.

Collections that would usually happen on Good Friday, 29 March, will take place on Saturday, 30 March instead.

There are no collections on Easter Monday, 1 April, and Easter week collections are one day later, including Friday collections taking place on Saturday 6 April.

To help crews speed up collections, please present boxes, bags and bins by 7am on the day of collection, or the night before.

With waste collections a day later a higher volume of waste is likely. Squashing, crushing and flattening waste can help to reduce the number of trips that teams need to make to empty their trucks, as well as creating more space in residents’ containers.

As well as changes to collections, the county’s Recycling Sites will revert to their summer opening hours from Monday, 1 April.

All sites will remain open from 9am to 4pm on weekends, midweek sites will be open from 9am to 6pm. Opening days vary from site to site, check recycling site opening times online before you visit.

Somerset Council are asking residents to be “good eggs” this Easter and recycle as much as possible. Almost all Easter egg packaging can be recycled in weekly kerbside collections.

• Cardboard box – flattened and into your black recycling box.
• Aluminium foil – scrunched and into your Bright Blue bag.
• Plastic mould – into your Bright Blue Bag.

Not yet recyclable at the kerbside or at our recycling sites are chocolate bar and sweet wrappers, plastic bags and plastic-foil pouches, plastic ‘windows’ in boxes, and similar thin-soft plastic film.

Many of these plastics can be dropped off at supermarkets and some are taken in TerraCycle recycling schemes. Please check where you shop or have a look at the Council’s guide to supermarket and TerraCycle recycling schemes.

Hi all

Just so you all know we had 98 covers for this month’s Big Breakfast.  Well done everybody.

There was a lot of activity during the breakfast as Don Hoyle from the Film Club had organised a show reel with snippets of the next 6 films to be shown, and a quiz. The prize for the quiz was a gift voucher for three free tickets to the Film Club.

The winner was Alex Lawrie, who had never been to a Big Breakfast before and didn’t know about the film club but….now he might be signing up to be a member?

There was also the ‘Guess the name of the Bunny’ competition which was won by Grace Carden-Smith, who is 5 years old.  I understand she took her ‘Belinda Bunny’ to school on the Monday to show all her class.

If you haven’t been before then you will be in for a great breakfast for only £6.50 (same price as a year ago!!) a chance to meet old and new friends and maybe play the ‘human fruit machine’ or ‘guess the sweets’ or any new additions we might have next time.

This was a great village community event so if you feel like a hearty breakfast on the 23^rd June, what say you…..Yes Chef!!!!

Village Hall Committee

This Sunday 31^st March at North Curry Village hall

Come and join our first Easter Egg hunt for children aged 4 to 11 years old.  The hunt will be at the village hall and surroundings.  Each child needs to have signed up between 10:15am and 10:40am, on the day, so that the hunt can commence at 10:45am. Entry is £1 per child.  The object is to collect as many eggs as you can, with a prize for the child collecting the most.  Of course, you get to keep all the eggs you find.  There will be two age ranges, under 6s and 7 – 11s.  Free tea, coffee and squash will be provided in the Village Hall for parents, children, grandparents and all.

PLEASE COME AND SUPPORT AND ENJOY A BIT OF EASTER FUN.
