The Council has several sub-committees and panels reporting into it and the CSM PC has the benefit of an in-force Neighbourhood Plan. We are seeking a Parish Clerk of the highest calibre, to work positively alongside the Parish Councillors to help implement the parish projects, and to ensure that all key legal, financial and other governance requirements are met. The successful applicant will either hold, or be willing to give a commitment to obtain, the Certificate in Local Council Administration. Previous experience would be advantageous. This is a part-time role working from home at an average of 80 hours per month, which will involve attending occasional evening and daytime meetings in Creech St Michael and therefore flexibility on the number of hours worked each week is a must. For a CiLCA qualified Parish Clerk the position is graded at LC2 Benchmark SCP24 - (£28,672 Full time Equivalent). 2021 award pending. There are mileage and Working from Home allowances, together with reasonable office expenses. How to apply Please email the Chairman of the Parish’s Personnel Committee csmpersonnel@outlook.com for a copy of the Job Description and an informal discussion around the role.

Creech Parish Council is committed to the improvement of footpaths, known as Public Rights of Way (PRoW) within its boundaries. Over the coming years it is the aim to replace all worn out existing wooden gates and stiles with metal ones. In each financial year up to four gates or stiles may be replaced, with Somerset County Council contributing to the costs involved. The Parish Council welcomes suggestions for which should be replaced in the new financial year starting in April. This will also give an indication of which paths are the most popular with walkers. To nominate gates or stiles please specify precisely where it is located. This can also be more accurately done by using the reference numbers found on the Explore Somerset online map - https://roam.somerset.gov.uk/roam/map If unfamiliar with the map it can initially look confusing. Simply type Creech St Michael into the search box in the upper left of the screen. PRoW’s within the Parish are shown with the prefix T10/. Specific paths are each given a number; the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal towpath, for example, is designated T10/25. Magnify the map size using the + and - buttons. Icons showing gates, stiles and bridges should appear. Highlight the gate or stile you wish to nominate and it should come up with a reference number. Please send the location and - if you use the map - the path T10/ number and specific gate/stile reference to clerk@creechstmichael.net. All nominations will be assessed. Any replacement decisions will be subject to agreement with landowners and relevant authorities. Parish Council chair Steve Greenhalgh said “Footpaths are a real asset for the community but do need to be regularly maintained. Worn out and broken stiles can be dangerous and limit access. It can also lead to walkers wandering off the path to find an easier route. So maintaining and replacing them is important. But please remember that we do only have a limited budget.” |

| Recycling sites update | Adrian Birch | 2020-05-29 06:58:43 | |
|
Recycling sites update From Monday 1 June, all 16 recycling sites will be returning to standard summer opening hours. Opening hours information will be updated on the Somerset Waste Partnership website from Monday morning. For more information, see the attached press release and for the detail of which sites will be open when, please check the attached timetable. Note that for Frome, Taunton and Yeovil, this will mean a return to seven days a week opening. From Monday, we will also be ending the odds and even number plate access system for all sites. All other restrictions remain in place - no extra materials are being accepted compared to this week, max two people per household, wearing gloves, trailers and 3.5 tonne vans only between 4pm and 6pm on weekdays. While this is a key step towards business as usual, we are avoiding making too many changes at once so we do not create an unmanageable or unsafe situation for residents or staff. There will be further phases to get us back to as close to usual as possible. We will continue to highlight that queues are to be expected due to the social distancing measures that are in place, and will remind people to turn off their engines if waiting, and that trips should only be made if they are really necessary.
Regards Nick Cater Senior Communications Officer Somerset Waste Partnership |
