Comprehensive land & housing expertise Our business provides a tailored service best suited for private landowners, niche developers, regional and national housebuilders, commercial agents, and affordable housing providers. No two sites are the same, just like successful land transactions, they mean different things to different parties. Offering independent land agency services we provide an unbiased, tailor-made experience.

With 20 years of experience in the industry, we offer comprehensive land & housing expertise. We are proud of senior-level partnerships in the property development industry and continuously grow our business relationships.

Are you looking for the next project? Regardless of market conditions, there is always a need for development land. We have a consultancy expert ready to identify projects and land with potential for all types of development, including urban extension, brownfield and greenfield sites, garden assembly, town/ city infill sites, building conversions, medium, and long-term strategic land!

Are you thinking of selling or developing your land? Land selling doesn’t need to be a daunting experience.

We’re not going to lie, the process can be lengthy, involve numerous parties, and be competitive (as land with planning permission is at a premium), but we aim to provide a service that allows you to maximise the value of your land and support you throughout the sales process.

We are the perfect consultancy partner, whether you are a landowner looking to sell surplus land or a residential developer interested in securing a site. The right advice and guidance can make all the difference to achieving a successful land sale for residential development.

We are currently working on many sites around Somerset, and across the rest of the country, we deal with all shapes and sizes so no matter what, don’t be afraid to get in contact.

And if you have anything with planning and you are struggling to sell, then please get in touch, we have sold lots of sites where other agents have failed, some of which we have re-designed to produce a better outcome for all involved!

Do you have any of the following…

Potential development land?

Land you would like to know it’s value?

Land you have been unable to sell?

Land to sell but don’t want to pay a selling fee?

Our specialist services include:

• Land Acquisition • Land Disposal • Consultation All of our exclusive land deals are done ‘Off Market’, so you won’t find them online!

We have a huge range of developers all over the country waiting to buy sites from single dwellings to 150 units!

So call us today and lets get the ball rolling...

LOCAL HISTORY

TO ADVERTISE CALL 01934 312171

Crime, Punishment and the Midsummer Assizes Whilst we are all familiar with magistrates’ courts (hopefully not from personal experience) these were previously known as the Petty Sessions, were held Assize judge arriving at the Town Hall in various places ©Wells Museum around the county and were presided over by a Justice of the Peace.

They dealt, as the name suggests, with small misdemeanours such as allowing your horse to stray onto the public highway or being drunk and disorderly and these usually resulted in a fine. In 1877, for example, a 12 year old boy was summoned for stealing apples from a garden in Weston-superMare and was fined 10s and ordered to pay 2d for the value of the apples. Bear in mind this would have been a considerable amount of money in 1877.

More serious offences such as theft, murder etc. were, until their abolition in 1971, dealt with in assize courts which were held in the main county towns and presided over by visiting judges from the higher courts based in London.

The courts were held 4 times a year and, in Somerset

the midsummer assizes were held in Wells and Bridgwater in alternate years. The court in Wells was held in the Town Hall and the judge would have been met by the High Sherriff, taken to the cathedral for a service and then to the court to open the formal document which gave him authority to hold the court. He would then have been taken to the judges lodging in New Street and the actual court business would take place the following day.

In many cases the offences committed, and the ensuing punishments, seem excessive by today’s standards. In 1860, for example, George Stitch was found guilty of stealing 50lb potatoes, valued at 1s 9d and was sentenced to 4 months imprisonment with hard labour in Taunton Gaol and in 1868 Fred Young a 22 year old labourer (and habitual offender) from Burnham was found guilty of stealing some bread and butter and sentenced to 7 years in prison. Rather surprisingly a girl found guilty of attempting to kill her father by poison in 1875 was also sentenced to 7 years imprisonment.

I presume that then, as now, there are different views about the severity of sentence that people deserve.

Learn to make do, and mend!

I guess we are all starting to feel the pinch right now with rising prices and are thinking of ways of making things go further?

So, when it comes to decisions about your furniture, why not choose to repair rather than replace? You could learn how to do it yourself. At Pretty Sitting in Cheddar we are offering a range of exciting classes in both upholstery and sewing soft furnishings for the home. They are suitable for beginners or improvers with full support and instruction from experienced tutors.

We have added lots of new courses to our 2022 programme with regular weekday classes and 2-day weekend workshops to choose from.

You can learn how to reupholster something as simple as a dining chair seat pad or as complicated as an antique nursing chair. Would you like to sew your own professional looking box cushion cover, bench seat or stylish mattress cushion with crimped edge? Or, why not complete one of our attractive footstools from scratch to take home in a weekend!

All classes and workshops are listed on, and booked through, our website www.prettysittingvintage.co.uk/shop/classes.

Just find days and dates that suit you.

We hope to see you in the Workshop soon.

Saturday 2nd and 16th July: We provide walks for people who want gentle exercise and to join a social group. Walks usually take over an hour but do not include stiles are steep climbs. We always finish with a cup of coffee. The July walks will be on the first and third Saturday, 2nd and 16th July, and will begin at 10:30am at Hannah More Cottage and Sharpham Road Car park respectively.

We have just released our programme for the next three months which can be found at www. sasp.co.uk/sedgemoor or www.facebook.com/ SomersetHealthWalks.

Music in Mind

Hutton Moor 50+ Sports Club

Mondays: This group takes place in the Masonic Hall, usually fortnightly, on Monday afternoons from 2.15 to 3.30. Memory problems can take away a person’s ability to relate to others and lead to feelings of isolation. Music in Mind is a safe space for people to come with their carers, have a cup of tea and a sociable chat and then enjoy an hour of music. We sing, play some percussion instruments, listen to music – sometimes this is a short live performance by volunteers who play/sing for us.

Since the pandemic, our numbers have dropped and we have room to welcome a few more people, so please encourage anyone who might appreciate such a group to get in touch with me: Stella Moore (Music Therapist) davestellamoore@btinternet. com 07896509754/01934 732282

Big Daddy burger

Method

When only the biggest burger will do, bite down on the Big Daddy burger! Two juicy beef burgers and loads of salad in a toasted bun – and we’ve thrown in a fried egg for good measure.

Ingredients

Put the onion, garlic, beef and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl, season lightly and combine using your fingers. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape them into burgers.

1 medium onion, finely chopped 4 garlic cloves, crushed 1kg lean beef mince (5% fat or less) 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce Low-calorie cooking spray 4 x 60g wholemeal rolls 4 eggs Sliced tomato, lettuce leaves and sliced red onion, to serve 4 level tbsp reduced-salt-and-sugar tomato ketchup

Cheddar Tuesday & Thursday 5:00pm & 6:30pm The Catholic Hall Tweentown BS27 3HU Call Cathy 07971 575158

Preheat your grill to high.

Spray the burgers with low-calorie cooking spray and grill for 10-12 minutes or until cooked through, turning halfway.

Meanwhile, spray a non-stick frying pan with lowcalorie cooking spray and place over a medium heat. Add the eggs and fry to your liking.

Split and toast the rolls, then fill with the tomato, lettuce, red onion, burgers and ketchup. Top with the eggs, season lightly and hold it all in place with a cocktail stick if needed.

Serve hot with Slimming World chips and salad.

Is your internet supposed to be fast, but is actually slow?

We see many posts on social media about people complaining about their internet connection. Often speed is quoted as not being as good as expected, and the provider is sometimes unfairly blamed for this.

In our experience, there are many factors that people do not realise can affect their speeds. Firstly, the priority is getting a good speed into the house (to the router to be precise).

If you have had broadband for many years, have you checked to see if a better package is available, either with your current provider, or possibly another provider? Having a modern router is also highly recommended. Full fibre is the best available connection but not all addresses can get it – yet.

Also, not all providers offer full fibre broadband, so you really need to understand what is available to your address. For example, Plusnet currently do not offer full fibre broadband even if it is available in your road. Wi-fi is also a big problem in some properties due to factors such as internal walls, wood and other construction materials. Often, wi-fi will deteriorate with distance, so even one or two walls can substantially reduce the signal speed.

We specialise in improving internet speeds, so please see our advert on this page and book us in to review your system and provide suggestions.

Asking for help doesn’t mean you’re a burden We live in an aging society. There are far more people aged over 65 in the UK today compared to a generation ago, and it’s a fact of life that our needs change as we get older. Why then, do we sometimes feel like a burden if we ask for help in our later years?

Age UK did some research into why people struggle in later life. They found that older people often feel excluded, or they exclude themselves, from the world around them.

This was because of a few things, such as people feeling their lives didn’t hold as much worth; feeling that the benefits of making a change were outweighed by the effort; and not knowing how to change things.

We all have bad days. But if you’re struggling every day with household tasks like paying bills, cooking or using the bathroom, or your emotions are getting the better of you, then it’s time to act. For support and guidance, call Age UK’s Advice Line any day of the year on 0800 678 1602 (8am to 7pm).

When it comes to help in the home, it’s common for people only to seek help as a result of a fall, accident or near-miss. It’s also common for a spouse, carer or family member to take action on someone else’s behalf.

If you need adaptations in your home, such as new grab rails, ramps, or a walk-in bath, it can be hard to know where to start. If money is a concern, did you know there’s a grant available for those with a qualifying condition? Talk to the council or search online for the Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG).

Changes to your home don’t need to look unsightly either. Just because you’re adding grab rails or a raised toilet in your bathroom for example, doesn’t mean it will look like a hospital bathroom. You could see it as an opportunity to refresh and update one of the most important rooms of your house.

If you’re unsure about which supplier to use for home adaptations, talk to family and friends about who they might know. If you can get online, have a look on Checkatrade.com for local suppliers who other people recommend. Usually, smaller companies are cheaper than the bigger brands.

Be proactive. If you think you need some extra guidance or support, talk to someone. Think about what might help to make everyday life easier for you and seek it out. You’re not alone – there are so many people facing these same challenges. Asking for help is the first step towards making your life healthier, easier and happier.

Take your time and consider your options Mortgages are one of the biggest financial commitments most people make in their lifetime, so it is important to take your time and consider your options. Remortgaging or buying a new home can be a confusing and stressful time but people are just meant to know what to do and how it works, our industry loves an acronym and sure we can all google what LTV, BTL and APR really mean (to name a few) but in reality, a local mortgage advisor can answer all your questions, take time to understand your circumstances and recommend products suitable to your needs and also have exclusive products not available on the high street.

A recent survey showed the four main reasons people did not look to remortgage were fear of rejection, effects the pandemic have had, rising cost of living and education.

Director of HMC Funding Charlotte said “We help a wide range of clients, some may have struggled in the past managing their finances, first time buyers, high net worth individuals, employed and selfemployed. As we are ‘whole of market’ mortgage advisers we are experienced in a wide range of products to suit different circumstances. We are able to meet with people online, over the phone or have face-to-face meetings at our local office. In a recent study 46% of people felt financial organisations did not understand their situation which is why we like to take time to understand our customers and their circumstances so that we always offer our best advice, we understand everyone is different and we can take out the leg work for people looking at products to suit their needs.”

HMC Funding is a local mortgage broker we consider ourselves an approachable, family-run firm in frequent contact with prospective clients looking for guidance on a range of mortgage related questions. We are always pleased to speak to customers and if we can help then we will advise you accordingly if we cannot then we will tell you honestly at the outset and maybe give you a few ideas on how we may be able to help in the future. Call us on 01275 244360 so that we can arrange a no obligation discussion.

July Gardening Tips from Hillier Garden Centre Cheddar When it comes to caring for and maintaining your garden through the summer months, it can be easy to feel like you’re not sure where to begin. At Hillier, we are here to help – with a wide variety of inspirational and accessible tips for those green fingers of yours, you can maintain your dream garden all year round.

July is a month give plenty of TLC to your garden to keep it at its peak. If you are going away, it is good to have plans in place so your garden is kept in good condition for your return. Here, we offer advice on a few gardening tasks you can do this month, plus tips from our Hillier experts to keep your garden at it’s best.

What to Plant Now Our Garden Centres are full of beautiful, seasonal plants that can bring instant impact and summer colour, from summer-flowering Clematis to Delphiniums, Dahlias, Echinacea and Salvias.

This is also a good month to plant early autumn-flowering perennials, like Japanese Anemone, Aster, Rudbeckia, Sedum, plus later-flowering shrubs, such as hardy fuchsia and Hydrangea paniculate varieties.

There is still time to plant up hanging baskets for extra summer colour as well!

Hillier Top Tip: Be sure to water newly planted gardens often, particularly in the warmer summer months.

Garden Care Keep weeds at bay with a ‘little and often’ approach; spend a few minutes each week to remove weeds from borders and containers.

Think about your watering routine. Containers, in particular, may want regular watering as warm weather and wind can quickly dry soil.

Install a water butt if space allows to collect and recycle rainwater over the coming year.

On warmer days, open greenhouse vents and doors to keep it cool and ventilated and to prevent disease and fungus problems.

Lawn Care Regularly mow your lawn. Cutting the grass too short will strip it of vital moisture and nutrients, so, if possible, keep your blade setting high.

Apply a high-nitrogen lawn feed to keep grass lush and thick. Save the all-in-one products for spring and autumn.

Find out how to achieve the perfect lawn at hillier.co.uk Grow Your Own If you fancy trying your hand at growing your own, we have fantastic advice on our website on how to get the most from your flower and vegetable seeds and bulbs for a beautiful and productive garden.

In July, in the vegetable garden, there are still a number of crops that can be sown along with a growing harvest to pick. This is the month to stay on top of your weeding, watering and feeding.

Sow Outdoors Sow beetroot, brussels sprouts, carrots, chicory, leeks for winter, lettuce, radishes, spring cabbage, sprouting broccoli, turnips. This is also the last month to sow French beans and runner beans.

Other July Tips Pests, such as slugs and vine weevils, may be problematic at this time of year. Discover our natural home remedies for garden pest control at hillier.co.uk Add a little more support to any plants that are leaning.

When your strawberry plants have finished, prune old foliage, weed and give the area a good mulch.

Prune cherry or plum trees now.

Visitors can find a fantastic range of quality plants, many grown by Hillier at our nurseries; garden items and beautiful homeware, along with expert plant advice and a friendly welcome at our Mulberry & Thyme restaurant.

However, prices are rising fast - and our choices have a lot more thought behind them. We are delighted that we have been able to help so many customers in the last few months make decisions about their appliances. Our appliances must work for us and do the best job.

We know that some of our more senior customers don’t have computers or don’t know how to give a Google review, but we get lots of phone calls thanking us for the outstanding service that we have provided.

Just as I write, a lady from Winscombe has phoned to thank us.

This afternoon the Chancellor of The Exchequer is laying down plans to help us through the energy crisis that we all find ourselves immersed in. I was so pleased to see that some measures were being taken “until energy prices return to normal.” I really hope this will be the case! We have been thinking of ways to use less energy. Most modern machines have eco programmes and settings and we make sure we only wash full loads in the dishwasher and washing machine. If you choose to use your tumble dryer, make sure you don’t overfill it, clothes need room to move around in the warm air to dry them.

Finally watch out for that kettle, just boil the water you need!

Wedmore Good Neighbours – How Can We Help You? The Wedmore Good Neighbours Group is now relatively well established and supporting a steady stream of people in the local community with a wide variety of “neighbourly” requests. As you might expect most calls continue to be from people needing transport for medical appointment or visiting a vaccination centre. Now that lockdown restrictions have eased we’re also providing lifts to local club and society meetings.

Our volunteers are also available to help in a number of other ways. Maybe you need some light work doing in the garden? Or someone to do a few days dog walking if you are unwell? Got some rubbish that needs taking to the local recycling centre – we can probably manage that too. Perhaps you are unable to get out of the house for some reason but need something from the local shops or chemist?

Volunteers can also help with writing letters and filling forms, including assisting with simple tasks that need completing online. Last but not least you might just want some company over a cuppa? The group can handle a wide variety of requests – but occasionally has to decline simply because the insurance policy does not cover every circumstance.

Whatever your request please call 01934 806299 and leave a message - a volunteer will reply within 24 hours. Please note that we’re not part of social services, or an emergency service…we’re just good neighbours!

If you’d like more detailed information about the group and how it operates visit the Wedmore Health and Wellbeing website – www.whawb.co.uk/gns/

INSURING YOUR BUSINESS When you run a business, you will no doubt recognise the need for insurance. It can provide compensation and peace of mind should things go wrong but can also represent a significant cost. There are many different types of insurance you need to consider.

COMPULSORY INSURANCE: • Employers’ liability insurance is compulsory to cover your employees. By law you must have at least £5 million of cover and this must come from an authorised insurer, although a minimum of £10 million is now provided by most policies. You must display the certificate of insurance in the workplace. If your business is not a limited company, and you are the only employee or you only employ close family members, you do not need compulsory employers’ liability insurance.

• Motor vehicles liability insurance is also compulsory and must cover third party insurance: this is the legal minimum.

PUBLIC LIABILITY: Although strictly this is not compulsory you will almost certainly feel that you need cover under this heading. It covers claims for damages to third parties.

PROPERTY AND THEFT: You can think about limiting cover to specific risks such as fire and flood or obtaining more general cover. Consider the level of cover you would need for the premises (if you own the building), equipment and stock. If you rent your premises, check that the landlord has the appropriate cover.

PROFESSIONAL INDEMNITY: This is only likely to be necessary if you give advice which could make you liable. It protects against any loss suffered by your customers as a result of negligent advice. In some professions it is compulsory – examples being the law, accountancy and financial services. However, it is common in other sectors such as computer consultancy and publishing.

BUSINESS INTERRUPTION: This covers compensation for lost profits and extra costs if your business is disrupted, due to say a fire.

KEY MAN: A small business is often dependent on key members of staff. What would happen if they became seriously ill or died?

SPECIALISED INSURANCE: A whole host of different policies cover a range of specialist situations – for example engineering insurance and computer policies.

WORKING FROM HOME: If you are planning to start your new business from home then don’t assume that your normal household insurance will be enough. It will not usually cover business risks. It is possible to obtain special ‘working from home’ policies.

SHOPPING AROUND: It may be stating the obvious but it is important to shop around to get the best deal. You should obtain several quotes and always be wary of cheap deals. A personal recommendation may be the best way to decide.

Are you a Bronze, Silver or Gold Chef?!

Musings of an OvenGleamer The Commonwealth Games are starting later this month in Birmingham and Worl Class athletes will be competing for hopefully a Gold Medal. But what sort of Chef are you?

Bronze Medal? (and about my level!) cooking is one of your life’s simple pleasures and your skill level is simple too. You’re great at using the microwave and can cope with a pan of boiling water for pasta and potatoes. You could cook a 3 course meal with a combi-microwave. Cheat with a ready-made prawn cocktails, then cook a chicken using the grill function and cook ‘steam in a bag’ vegetables to produce a Roast Dinner. For dessert “ping” chocolate sponge puddings with chocolate sauce to finish off…simples!

More budding chefs (most of you) come in at least a Silver Medal standard. You’re great at using a hob and an oven with several pans boiling away on the hob top whilst a delicious joint is roasting away in the oven. You are classic multi-tasker with better time–management skills than me. My partner falls in this category – she does a mean Roast Beef, Yorkshire puddings and mountains of vegetables – all cooked to perfection and appearing on the table at the same time. For dessert she produces an apple pie out of oven with creamy custard. She then expects me, a professional oven cleaner, to clean our cooker?

Does she not understand that it’s my day off?

Gold Medal winners are you BBQ cookers! How anyone can produce an array of succulent steaks, juicy sausages and melt-in-the-mouth burgers as well as foil wrapped salmon from just a metal grid over some hot coals or gas, I’ll never know. You then to serve them with a selection of fresh salads and summer cocktails – a skill level way beyond my reach. My friends do this, invite me over and I can enjoy the fruits of their labours! Then with a messy BBQ, they phone me to clean it – fed and paid – Gold Medal for me on that one!

So where do you fit into my medal parade – are you a bronze, silver or gold medal Chef? I promise you a Gold Medal service, call today: Graeme Robertson OvenGleamers on 01934 440032
