own Council Newsletter hristmas 2018 COUNCIL BUDGET 2019/20

Councillors at Wellington Town Council have been giving some thought to how best the Council can maintain and improve services in the town now that it has become clear that the County Council and the Borough Council will be facing even more cuts. It appears that the principal councils will be reducing services to such an extent that in some cases they will be only carrying out those that are a statutory requirement.

Recent informal meetings of town councillors have agreed that there is an opportunity to take back responsibility for some of the services carried out locally in the past.

They want to do all they can to improve the local environment, co-ordinate support for older people, support families and young people. There would, however, be a cost involved and this is likely to be reflected in the Town Council’s element of the Council Tax for 2019/20.

The Town Council’s portion of the Council Tax is currently £41.62 a year. The level of the Council Tax for the next financial year will be decided at the Council meeting on 7 January 2019. Members hope that the community will support its bid to improve services in the town. If you have any suggestions or comments please contact the Town Council office or email your views to yourview@wellingtontowncouncil.co.uk

CHRISTMAS PARKING 2018 Notification has been received from TDBC that it has been agreed to give free parking in all TDBC Wellington car parks on the four Saturdays leading up to Christmas 1st, 8th, 15th and 22nd December.

GRANTS Since our last newsletter the Council have been busy considering a large number of applications for grant. The Council have a limited grants budget and are not always able to help everyone that applies, however, the following grants were awarded:Wellington Cricket Club A grant of £985.50 was made to the Cricket Club in connection with its winter coaching sessions for the young people of the area. The Town Council have supported this initiative since 2010 and has been of enormous benefit to the health and well being of youngsters in the area.

Wellington Wildcats The Wellington Wildcats Section of the Wellington Football Club had submitted an application for a grant of £1,000 to help grow its membership. This would give more local girls the opportunity to take part in this increasingly popular ladies sport. The Council felt that the Wellington Wildcats provide a valuable opportunity for increasing numbers of local girls to attend football sessions and a grant in the sum of £1,000 was agreed.

Court Fields Community PreSchool An application for a contribution towards moving the Preschool into the Youth Centre so that additional child placements could be provided was also considered. The Preschool had anticipated funding from Somerset County Council, which had not materialised. When considering the application It was noted that the Preschool has an Ofsted rating of ‘outstanding’ and that the grant would help support the viability of the Youth Centre, as well as the Preschool itself. A grant of £1,000 was therefore agreed.

WELLINGTON PARK The Mayor, Councillor Gary James has congratulated those responsible for once again ensuring that our wonderful Park has deservedly been given The Green Flag Award. This scheme recognises and rewards the best green spaces in the country.

The Town Council were happy to make a significant contribution to the Park by making a grant of £13,000 towards the cost of resurfacing all of the paths in the Park.

The contribution from the Town Council enabled all the internal paths to be resurfaced at the same time ensuring that the overall result looked good and caused minimal disruption to Park users.

CIVIC AWARDS The annual civic award scheme has started again with Year 6 pupils at Rockwell Green and Beech Grove schools.

As part of the scheme Year 6 pupils from both schools recently visited the Council Chamber to find out more about the Mayor of Wellington and the Town Council.

They learnt about the role of the Mayor, his robes and chain, the work of the Town Council and its officers. Pupils were told about Twinning, the town crest and the relevance of the symbols within the Town’s history.

Both groups asked extremely intelligent and inquisitive questions about Wellington and issues discussed by the Council.

All the pupils were a credit to their schools.

REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY 2019 AND BEYOND Currently Wellington marks Remembrance Sunday each year with a Parade and Service in the Park in the afternoon.

At a Council meeting in August the Mayor (Councillor Gary James), felt that following the transformation of TDBC there may be an appetite for a change in how we hold Remembrance Sunday. He felt that Wellington, as one of the largest towns in the area, should show its gratitude to the Fallen as the nation did at 11 a.m. in the Park rather than as we have traditionally done in the afternoon of Remembrance Sunday. The Council realise that this is a very emotive issue and agreed that a consultation exercise should be undertaken to ascertain the views of the local community. Those views will then be discussed with the local Branch of the Royal British Legion.

The local Branch of the Legion take a different view.

They have said that the last time it discussed this matter there was overwhelming evidence that the majority of the public in Wellington supported the Service being retained in the afternoon as it has continuously been since 1922.

Amongst reasons advanced is that it would be far better attended than one in the morning. The numbers attending have been increasing in recent years. A number of service organisations such as the Riders branch, numerous association standard bearers and other ex-service organisations have also come over from Taunton to attend as they can't make the service there. Those members who attend the Royal Albert Hall the previous evening feel that they can’t get back here in time. Some parents also feel it is easier to come in the afternoon and a number who have children involved have said they would not otherwise see their children take part. The Legion go on to say that a morning Service would also interfere with local churches in the town and surrounding villages who all hold traditional morning services and consequently there would be problems getting Clergy to attend. The local Member of Parliament may not be able attend here in the morning.

The Branch respectfully point out that it is only the local Branch of the Legion who can decide on the time and venue as legally the Legion are the National Custodians of Remembrance on not only on a National level but also at a District and Local level. However clearly they have a duty to take into consideration local feelings and conditions and will listen to everyone’s views.

Finger on the Pulse

By Councillor Andrew Govier After a rather depressing article last time, it is good to start with some positive news. It was announced last week that Wellington Community hospital is to reopen in January after being closed for a number of months. Somerset Partnership, who run the hospital, have also moved new services into the site. There is a review of community hospitals taking place at the moment and this is likely to result in some closures across the county, let’s hope that we can promote the vital role the hospital plays and keep it open for many years to come.

Keeping with the positive theme. A local group who have had another successful year is the Wellington museum and local history society. This dedicated group of volunteers keeps the museum open throughout the year with extended hours during the summer. This not only provides an interesting attraction for visitors to the town but is a valuable resource for local people wanting to find out more about their family history. As well as a number of interesting displays there are many items of the town’s history that are stored behind the scenes, so if you want to find out something about the town, it is well worth popping in and asking.

We have just commemorated the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War. The local memorial march and service in the park was well supported again this year and I would like to thank the Royal British Legion and all their many volunteers for collecting another large sum for the Poppy appeal. I always find it very humbling to hear the names and addresses of those who gave their lives for our freedom. The impact that sort of loss must have had on a town, that was much smaller than it is now, must have been huge.

Unfortunately, there is still great concern over the future of dementia services in the town. At last month’s town council meeting, a number of local residents expressed their concerns about the proposal to close Stratfield House. They fear that the excellent service and staff who work there will be lost to the range of services available for their families. While reassurances have been given that each person will receive a review and suitable services going forward, the lack of certainty is causing great anxiety.

I am delighted that the outstanding Court Fields Pre-school is relocating to Wellington Youth Centre. The pre-school, which has been based at Court Fields School for many years, is moving into the centre in January. The move has required a complete refurbishment of the part of the building they are moving into. They appealed to the community for help. As usually happens in Wellington, the community responded with offers of help and they have managed to do all the work, to a very high standard and at a much lower cost. Well done to all concerned! Anyone interested in getting a place at the pre-school is asked to call 01823 662049 or look at their website www. courtfieldspreschool.co.uk I hope, once again, to be able to do most of my shopping in the town. We have some fantastic local shops and we all know how tough things on the ‘High Street’ are these days. Please try, if you can, to buy things locally. It is much better for the local 18

Would a fixed rate give you peace of mind?

Against the background of increasing interest rates, market research shows that over 5 million households in Britain have a mortgage that will go up. Are you one of these people? Mortgage companies have fixed rate deals available over 2, 3, 5 and even 10 year periods at some of the lowest ever rates. Would knowing what your mortgage will cost for the next few years give you peace of mind? Let us search the whole of the market for you to identify the best deal. There is no obligation to proceed with any new mortgage â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so what have you got to lose?

Are you better off getting independent advice?

Many people look to their bank to provide them with advice on their mortgage options but would you be better speaking to an independent mortgage broker.

Banks can only offer you the limited range of their own products while an independent broker like the ones at LYN can provide you with a choice of most products on the market. We can also speak to you the same day which is much sooner than with most banks. Our initial advice is free and we can meet you at a time and place that is convenient to you.

Taking the first step on the ladder!

Buying a property is usually the most expensive purchases that any person will make. We all know how difficult it is to get on the property ladder these days with house prices soaring but there are a number of schemes available that can help you achieve your dream of owning your own property. We can advise you on how much you can borrow and which Help to Buy scheme would suit your circumstances best. Most of the new estates around the town have properties available and we can help you make one of these your new home!

Are you looking at improving your existing property?

Getting a new mortgage doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily have to be about moving house.

Many people are happy living where they are but they would like to improve or extend their existing property. This is something that we often help people with. Many mortgage companies will allow you to increase your mortgage to carry out home improvements. Please get in contact with us if you want to look at how much you could raise towards that new kitchen, bathroom or extension.

Contact Andrew Govier or Mike Rogers on: Phone: 01823 663978 andrew@lynfs.co.uk / mike@lynfs.co.uk

Your house may be repossessed if you do not keep repayments on your mortgage or other loans secured on it.

The 12 Saves of Christmas Delightful dozen: keep the fun, cut back waste, focus on what really matters

By Nick Cater Smart families in and around Wellington are saving their Christmas by keeping all the festive fun and tradition but cutting back waste, cost - and all that plastic.

The key to a great Christmas is preparation and focusing on not just good value as your go shopping but your values and what you value, from sharing with others to bringing together your family at this special time.

Here are a dozen simple ideas before the big day - to match those 12 days of Christmas that follow which may help: 1. It is never too early to get your home clear and uncluttered for Christmas, with those guests, events and the tree; go around the house to make sure everything not needed is recycled - or sold, given away or turned into a gift.

2. The same is true for getting wish lists from all who will getting your gifts - ask for them early so every present is wanted. For grown-ups, think of low-waste, low-cost secret Santa giving.

3. Have your seen the cost of posting cards, not to mention the Christmas Collections waste of cards sent to the same list year-in, year-out? Surely, it This year, the schedule is unchanged is time to cut back Christmas cards and explain that you have on Christmas Eve, but with no made a donation to a charity you value. pick-ups on 25 and 26 December.

4. Eat into that freezer and fridge early to save money and have Collections that week will be two space for the extra Christmas food and all those leftovers. days’ later, including Thursday on PS: avoid waste by getting a smaller bird and prep it all in Saturday and Friday on Sunday 30 advance.

5. Children’s home-made paper and card decorations - recycled The following week, no collections later or kept for 2019 - look great, and a shared Christmas on New Year’s Day means pick-ups making day is great fun for everyone. Nothing says tradition one day later, including Friday’s on Saturday 5 January. than garden greenery (and nothing says no waste than All collections are back to normal composting it later).

for a box of fun items with meaning, from child-decorated pine cones - another making day activity - to old costume jewellery and more.

For gifts, consider digital downloads or subscriptions - instant, waste-free, and can be bought even at the very last minute - or adding the love that comes with making your own, from special foods to beauty scrubs.

Check charity shops for bargain gifts, unusual items, great value, and if you must go for a festive jumper, seek out the best or worst at a charity show, and then buy it now and donate it back in 2019.

Seek out great gifts made from recycled materials, or those that help others recycle, from can crushers for granny needing a little leverage to mushroom kits that feed on coffee grounds.

Whether in presents or decorations, cards or all the varieties of metallic and holographic wrapping paper, steer clear of plastics that cannot be recycled and can only end up in landfill.

Buy rechargeable batteries and a charger for the power hungry to have them all ready for the big day and those new toys that come battery-free but need to be played with, and broken, right now.

12. Know the waste schedule for your street - see insert - and where to take your tree: the recycling site, yes, or home composting, or find a local chipping service, but do try to avoid leaving it out for a rubbish truck delivery straight to landfill. And check the weather and Somerset Waste Partnership’s severe weather guide in case of collection disruption.

PS: early notice has been given of upgrades to recycling sites from 1 April 2019. Wellington will be open every day except Mondays and Tuesdays, and stay open later during the week - 9-6 in summer, 9-5 in winter - and have full weekends, opening 9-4 on Saturdays and Sundays.

For more details of recycling site changes, and festive suggestions on wasting far less, recycling much more and saving plenty of cash, do visit www.somersetwaste.gov.uk.

Recycling over Christmas Wellington Recycling Centre at the Poole Brickworks, Nynehead, TA21 9HW, will stay on its usual schedule over Christmas, closing on Thursdays and Fridays, and on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. It will close early, at 4pm, on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. The next nearest recycling centre is Taunton, which is open 8am-4pm seven days a week.

Nick Cater is Senior Communications Officer at Somerset Waste Partnership, which manages waste and recycling services on behalf of all local authorities in Somerset.

Highway Robbery in 1821 by Colin Spackman The following is a verbatim news item taken from an edition of The Taunton Courier in 1821.

Until 1860, when The Wellington Weekly News was established, The Taunton Courier, founded in 1808, was the local paper for Wellington. _________________________________________________

Highway Robbery. – On Sunday evening last, as Thos. Bray, servant to F. White1, Esq. of Wellington, was returning home from Taunton, he was overtaken near Bishop’s Hull by two fellows, who continued in conversation with him until they arrived at the Crown Inn2, Rumwell, when Bray, wishing to avoid them, went into the house to drink. On arriving at Chelston Heathfied, Bray passed the two men, and soon afterwards heard a man, who was standing on a high bank, call out, “Go it” upon which Bray was instantly knocked down. On endeavouring to rise, he was again violently struck and seized by one of the fellows, and while one of them was rifling his pockets, another of them presented a pistol, and threatened to shoot him if he resisted. They were in the act of extracting his watch, when the appearance of a stranger alarmed them, and they precipitously decamped towards West Buckland. The property which they took from Bray consisted of a 5l3 Bank of England note, with his name on the back of it, in red ink, and a 1l note of Messrs. Badcock’s Taunton Bank4. One of the robbers is marked with the pox, his left leg shorter than the other, and was dressed in a sailor’s jacket and trowsers (sic). A reward has been offered for their apprehension.

The best potatoes are now selling in this town and neighbourhood, at from 2s. 6d. to 2s. 9d. per bag of 1 bushels5(sic) .__________________________________________________ Notes: 1, Frederick White snr. (c1772-1845) and his son Frederick White jnr. (1806-1881) were solicitors in Wellington. The elder is commemorated by a tablet in St. John’s church. One, and possibly both, of the Frederick Whites was the Steward of the extant Popham charity.. In the 1839 Wellington Poor Law Rate book a Frederick White owned a house and orchard in South Street, possibly The Avenue, with a rental value of £63. Most houses in the town at that time had a rental value of £3 or less.

2. This is the name to which The Rumwell on the A38 has recently reverted.

3. £5 in modern typography. In 1821 that would have been a considerable sum.

4. In 1821 there were probably not any banks in Wellington.

5. A bushel is a unit of volume not weight. It equates to 8 gallons or approximately 35 litres or, in imperial measures, 12” x 12” x 16”. 2s 6d (half a crown) = 12½p

If you are paying for your waste to be removed, the advice is simple. Never pay cash or use social media. Check the waste carrier licence, get a receipt and a copy of the waste transfer note, and always keep notes of names, phone contacts and vehicle registration numbers.

Seasons greetings… and good health!

Festive greetings – and your very good health!

There have been some really positive messages about our health in 2018. The evidence is there –we can reduce our risk of heart disease, cancer and diabetes by changes in our day to day lives.

One day at a time..

You don’t have to change overnight - just one step at a time – one more apple, or one less biscuit. One more trip up the stairs, or one more walk round the garden/block/park, improving each day.

There is often another way…

Every year 37000 UK children have their tonsils removed but seven out of eight of those (32 500!) are unlikely to benefit!

(British Journal of General Practice 2018)

Happily, there are much gentler ways to put things right. Repeated infections or inflammation are signs of a problem, they are not the problem itself. By using an holistic therapy like homeopathy we can enhance the body’s ability to heal properly and break the cycle of infections and medication.

We all gain from this Images courtesy of https://pixabay.com

The NHS spends one billion pounds every year just on diabetes medication … even though changing what you eat and getting active can reduce the need for any medication…sometimes within a few short weeks!

You have the power on your plate

In 2007 the NHS reported on a global enquiry by the World Cancer Research Fund who recommended: • • • • • •

be as lean as possible within the normal range of body weight be physically active as part of everyday life limit consumption of energy-dense foods and sugary drinks eat food of mainly plant origin limit intake of red meats, and avoid processed meats limit alcoholic drinks.

World Cancer Research Fund / American Institute for Cancer Research. Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity, and the Prevention of Cancer: a Global Perspective.

Washington DC: AICR, 2007.

Taking steps to improve our own health can reduce the demand on the NHS – less GP visits, less medication, less trips to A&E. More importantly - your life will be more enjoyable.

And by helping yourself in this way you are also helping the planet. The latest report about climate change says that one of the most powerful things we can do to help combat climate change is to adopt a healthy diet.
