A Welcome from The TOWN’s Mayor I had hoped to write solely about positive things in this column, but unfortunately an outbreak of antisocial behaviour in our town changed my plans for this edition. Most people will know that our Christmas tree was vandalised on Christmas day. Two individuals were observed on CCTV sawing the tree down and then dragging it to a flatbed truck nearby where the tree was later found dumped by the Tesco roundabout in Paulton.

Somer Valley Rediscovered Haydon Batch Update Somer Valley Rediscovered working with Radstock Town Council have continued work at Haydon Batch over the winter aimed at conserving the species rich grassland. The volunteer group have made several visits and have been clearing some of the smaller scrub and the re-growth from the cut last year. We also had contractors clearing a larger area on the south west slopes. All of this work is aimed at encouraging the many species of flowering plants to flourish, which in turn, support butterflies and other insects.

Radstock in Bloom 2025: A Vibrant New Approach

In 2025, Radstock in Bloom will take an exciting new direction as we step back from entering the RHS Southwest in Bloom competition. This decision allows us to focus on cultivating and supporting our “In Your Neighbourhood” entries. By empowering local groups, businesses, and residents to showcase their creativity and gardening skills, we aim to strengthen our community’s connection to Radstock’s natural beauty. While we won’t be competing on the regional stage this year, our commitment to fostering local pride and celebrating horticultural excellence remains steadfast. Our transformative efforts will be vividly apparent throughout the town as we embrace the harmonious colour palette of pink, white, and purple. These colours will form the foundation of our floral displays, symbolising unity, peace, and vibrancy. From cascading hanging baskets and radiant planters to community garden installations, every corner of Radstock will radiate charm and positivity. With support and guidance, we’ll assist neighbourhood participants in creating their own breathtaking displays, ensuring that every contribution shines brightly within our shared vision.

The essence of Radstock in Bloom has always been about bringing people together through a shared love of nature and community spirit. By channelling our energy into supporting neighbourhood entries and transforming our townscape with a consistent and stunning theme, 2025 promises to be a year of growth, collaboration, and beauty. We invite everyone to join us in making Radstock a flourishing tapestry of pink, white, and purple, showcasing the collective effort and creativity that defines our community To achieve this vision, we need your help! We are calling for volunteers to join us in our mission to make Radstock more beautiful than ever. Whether you’re an experienced gardener or a passionate beginner, your time and effort can make a real difference. From planting flowers and maintaining displays to assisting with neighbourhood projects, there’s a role for everyone. If you’d like to be part of this rewarding journey, please get in touch! We’d love to have you on board! Together, we can ensure Radstock blooms brighter than ever. Email: radstockinbloom@gmail.com

AN UPDATE FROM THE LIONS Radstock and Midsomer Norton Lions would like to thank people in Radstock and the surrounding villages for their support with the December 2024 Carol float and wish everyone a very Happy New Year for 2025. Thanks to the generosity of people in our local area and a wonderful team of volunteers we raised over £3,500. This takes a lot of people power and we are very grateful for the volunteers that came forward to help us this year, we could not have gone ahead with this event over December without you. Our thanks also go to Tesco who allow us to be in their main store with our static collection. At the end of January, we put on a Race Night with the help of the Westfield Sports and Social club to raise money for Dorothy House our local hospice based in Winsley. We sent £250 to SightSavers, who work in more than 30 countries training health workers, providing eye operations, support people with disabilities, improve women’s health and more. £250 to Water Survival Boxes initiated by our friends at Rotary. This is a project supplying rapid response for families who have no access to safe drinking water and have also lost their homes and possessions. And we sent £250 to a Worldwide Lions project toward the winter stoves appeal. Here is an update on the project WICTU3 from Lions Multi District Franco Bianchi: In recent weeks, Russian attacks on Ukraine have intensified. The bombings have primarily targeted power plants and energy infrastructures. A dramatic consequence of this approach is that millions of people are left without electricity, which means no water or light in their homes. No heating. And not even the ability to cook food. This is not new: for almost three years now, Russia has been bombing civilian targets during the winter, causing energy blackouts and leaving the population—mostly the elderly, women, and children living in rural towns

and villages—in darkness and cold. A couple of years ago, Finnish Lions, always at the forefront of aid to Ukraine, launched an international service to supply these populations with wood-burning stoves, the only fuel they have at hand. Italy promptly joined the initiative. The “Lions' supply chain” is involved at every stage, from raw materials to production, from manufacturing in Finland to transportation to Kharkiv, Pavlograd, and Zaporizhia, and finally delivering the stoves to homes in Ukraine. Last year, we delivered more than 8,000 stoves, thanks to the solidarity of 26 European countries, and thousands of people were able to face the winter in better conditions. But it is not enough. Every day, the situation worsens. Last November, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal urged all citizens to seek alternative sources of energy and heat since local infrastructure has been destroyed in many areas. There is, therefore, a desperate need for these Lions stoves to support families across the country. The appeal from the Italian Governors’ Council is to donate because even a small contribution can help the Ukrainian population cook and keep warm, facing the terrible consequences of war a bit better. Last year, we reached 8,100 stoves, and this year, we aim for 15,000. Even a few euros from each of us are incredibly important! And our Foundation (which coordinates the service) will recognise donations for the Melvin Jones Fellow awards. Franco Bianchi MD. By joining together we can achieve amazing results. Look out for Lions Easter Hampers / Eggs in the local pubs and news about this year's Duck Race. Let’s make 2025 another year of giving locally and internationally.

1st Radstock Scout GROUP The darker evenings have not discouraged the Beavers who have been enjoying seasonal activities over the last few months, including a glow night, where we decorated empty milk bottles and added glow sticks to create a variety of monsters. We had another sleepover, on a theme of ‘Holidays Around the World’. This was a very busy weekend where we celebrated Diwali, Christmas, Hanukkah and Ramadan. We have also designed, built and painted clay models to earn our Builder badge, there were some very creative designs! In our last meeting before Christmas we made chocolate butter icing and decorated swiss rolls to produce some delicious looking yule logs, they were very yummy. The adventure has continued this year with an archery session which was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

11 The Cubs have had a very busy term from looking at handling money by playing monopoly to carrying out everyday tasks with a disability. They were surprised just how much they took for granted. We’ve visited Japan in a night and been to space too. Our crazy science night saw some very interesting experiments and towers made out of spaghetti and marshmallows. A lot of the term was based on looking at all aspects of safety including on-line, personal, fire and home. A Christmas craft night was held to round off the year with cookie decorating, gnome painting and drinking luscious hot chocolate with all the trimmings. In a few weeks’ time we will be going to support the local Paulton Amateur Dramatics in their production of Beauty and the Beast and are really looking forward to that.

The Scouts have also had some fantastic experiences including caving and more time on the water. One new member was invested in the Water Chamber at Goatchurch Cavern. They have also been looking at different aspects of life in the local community, including the pheasant shooting season which culminated in the Scouts preparing, cooking and eating locally shot pheasants. Coming up they have sailing, paintball, air rifle shooting and axe throwing, not to mention numerous camping trips!

It’s not just the young people having fun, at the end of term some the Leaders enjoyed a night out at Castellos, it was Christmas jumpers all round! The Group would particularly like to thank all those people who supported the Scout Post this year and apologise that we were sadly unable to hold our Christmas Event due to the weather warning. We thank you for your support through the last year and would like to thank Thomson’s in Radstock for their continued support to the Group with their public activities. We hope very much that you will mark our Easter Extravaganza in your diaries which will be held on the 12th April – watch out for further details. 1st Radstock is made up of a team of volunteers of all ages and volunteering can be as little or often as you like and not just on the leadership team. We would love to hear from anyone who might be interested in supporting us in any way. We have lots of projects we would like to complete but we need additional fundraising on top of our usual fundraising, so if as a business you are looking for a charity to support or you are thinking of taking on something adventurous and would like a charity to benefit from it, then please do get in touch. If you enjoy fundraising or working with children, administration etc drop us an email. radstockscouts@btinternet.com

Avon and Somerset Police When looking at our priorities for 2025, we are aware of ongoing issues caused by off-road pit bikes and electric motorcycles being ridden along the Greenway and other public areas and footpaths. We would appeal to any parents who have purchased these types of motorbikes to make yourself aware of the legislation regarding them, such as where they can and cannot be used, and then to make sure that they are being used in line with those rules.It is not only the rider who can be prosecuted, but also the owner or person responsible for that motorbike, even if they were not riding it. Something else you may well have seen are e-scooters. For many people, these would have been a Christmas present, but it is important to understand the legislation that comes with riding an

If an area is found to have a speeding issue, this is then passed onto the Speed Enforcement Team, who go out with the speed detection equipment and catch speeding vehicles. If caught, the driver could receive penalty points on their licence, a possible prosecution or, if they are eligible, attend a speed awareness course. If you are interested in establishing a CSW group, the local Beat Team are here to help. Further details on how to be part of CSW or establish a new group, can be found on the Avon and Somerset Constabulary website or pop into one of our regular beat surgeries to speak to a member of the Beat Team.

e-scooter. Unless they are part of a scheme, like we see in towns and cities across the country, then they cannot be ridden on public roads, pavements and public footpaths. As they are classed as powered transport, they fall within the legal definition of a motor vehicle as set out in the Road Traffic Act. This means they are legally the same as a car or motorbike and you can be prosecuted in the same way. Another area of concern is the issue of speeding. One of the tools that can be used to identify speeding and focus the resources we have, such as the speed camera detection bikes, is Community Speed Watch. CSW is made up of

Radstock Neighbourhood Plan – the next steps Radstock’s green setting is a key component of its distinctive character

Work is continuing on the preparation of the first Neighbourhood Development Plan for Radstock. Local communities have the power to prepare such a plan to address local planning issues not covered by the District Local Plan (B&NES). The Plan is being prepared by a motivated group of local residents and Councillors who meet regularly to oversee the plan progress. The team undertook a residents’ survey early on in the process to understand the issues which are a priority to the communities in Radstock. Radstock is particularly distinctive in that its mining legacy and topography mean that the town consists of distinct communities such as Clandown, Haydon, Tyning, Writhlington and Radstock town centre. The Plan needs to further the wider interests of the town as a whole as well as its constituent communities.

Once a draft set of proposals are ready, the team is keen to engage with the Radstock communities again to hear your views on the emerging plan before a draft plan is written. It is therefore

Radstock Town Council Precept 2025-2026 The Precept is the levy raised by the Town Council to fund expenditure for the year, as part of our plan to make Radstock a great place to live, work and shop. The precept supports the running of the Community Hub and Library; grants to local community groups; activities such as the Christmas lights and youth service sessions; and maintenance of our play and outside facilities at Tom Huyton Park, Haydon Batch, Haydon Allotments, Memorial Gardens, and Southfield Recreation Ground. This year’s central project is the continued development of the former Trinity church to provide a bigger, better community hub and allow the relocation of the Town Council offices and library. We will also continue delivery of the Radstock Regeneration Action Plan, including Radstock’s Cultural programme, and the development and maintenance of green spaces. The Town Council is committed to achieve best value for money for its residents. Over the last two years the Town Council, working in partnership with Bath and North East Somerset Council, has been successful in securing over £250,000 in grants and remains committed to seeking further funding to support current and future projects. In setting our budget we have had to address several challenges; including rising energy costs, which were previously fixed for three years and have now almost doubled, and the recent increase in national insurance contributions. Current inflation rates have affected the council’s operating costs, but the council remains committed to seeking support and funding to provide more for our residents whilst still ensuring value.

Successful efforts to identify additional external funding through grants and support have allowed us to support current and future projects. The Town Council thanks Somer Valley Rediscovered, Bath and North East Somerset Council, the West of England Combined Authority and Radstock in Bloom among others for past and future support. The 6.98% increase to the precept equates to an annual charge to residents of £188.04 for a Band D equivalent property (equivalent to an increase of £1.10 per month for the coming year).

Town Council Achievements The Town Council is proud of last year’s many achievements, and we hope that residents have been able to take advantage of the events and services on offer.

Trinity Hub In May 2024 the Town Council secured the purchase of Trinity Hub, a new community space for Radstock. The new hub will embody the Town Council’s commitment to create a vibrant, inclusive space where all residents can connect, learn and grow. New architectural designs will look to maximise the flexible space and works will be prioritised to focus on essential roof repairs and ensuring the building is accessible.

Hub hosted its first touring theatre events expertly delivered by Take Art and Christmas community events saw extra sparkle for both the young and older residents.

Wayfinding As part of the wider Radstock Regeneration Action plan the Town Council secured funding through the West of England Combined Authority to support a wayfinding project, the aspirations of which are to enhance the wayfinding and legibility of Radstock Town Centre. A new canopy shelter has been installed into Tom Huyton Park as part of the project. Over the coming months new finger signs, information boards and entrance signs will be installed throughout the town.

News from Radstock Museum The Museum is open again after our winter break and annual deep clean. As always, we start the year with a new temporary exhibition.

Somerset Miners: Welfare and Health Care This exhibition has been curated by the Bath Medical Museum working with the Radstock Museum. It has benefited from existing knowledge and new research conducted by both Museums, with essential contributions from local ex-miners. Aspects of the exhibition refer to mining conditions in the Victorian period, giving visitors a sense of historical change during the hundred years prior to the closure of the last two Somerset mines in 1973. The Somerset coalfield was nationally one of the

less extensive coalfields, yet the effects on miners’ health of coalface working in the challenging narrow seams was significant, under recognised, and often, life threatening. The exhibition explores issues such as living and working conditions; serious medical conditions directly arising from working underground; rescue efforts in the event of accidents and treatment given to miners in the pit, at home and in hospital. It also explores wider matters arising from injuries and ill health, such as the push for compensation and better working conditions supported by the Friendly Societies and the Miners' Association, followed by the NUM. The exhibition will run until late June and is included in the price of entry.

Forthcoming Exhibition Later this year we will have a temporary exhibition on the history of local music making and we are interested in hearing from people who want to share their or their family’s memories of going out dancing to local bands. Perhaps you went to fund raising dances for the local carnival or you have family stories of making the trek out to Turner’s Tower near Faulkland. We would also love to find out more about groups such as The Bernard Emm Band. If you would like to share memories, photographs or mementoes with us, please contact Jackie Britton, from our Exhibitions Team, either by emailing exhibitions@radstockmuseum.co.uk or writing to Jackie, care of the museum, using our usual address. Our opening hours are: 2pm to 5pm Tuesday to Friday and Sunday, 11am to 5pm on Saturday, last admission at 4.30pm. We also open on Bank Holiday Mondays, 2pm to 5pm. The Tea Room also closes at 4.30pm.

21 about this remarkable local family. Clem will tell the fascinating story of the Poynting Family, who for well over two hundred years, had links with Clapton, Midsomer Norton, Chilcompton, Ston Easton and Foxcote. Originally from illiterate farm workers, the family, over the generations produced, a remarkable range of individuals who included a clergyman who built a church, a school and wrote a novel, a pioneering farmer in the Mid-West of the United States; a daughter who married a cousin of a Prime Minister and John Henry Poynting pictured here, who was a notable scientist and gave his name to craters on the moon and mars and important laws in physics.

Connaught Freemasons Freemasonry is one of the oldest social and charitable organisations in the world with its roots lying in the traditions of the Medieval Stonemasons who built our castles and cathedrals. It is open to people of all backgrounds with our aim of helping members be the best they can be, both for themselves and for the society around them. But, let me dispel the myth that Freemasonry is a secret organisation. If it was, we would not be involved in the activities I illustrate below. Quite simply we are group of men (and yes it has to be men) who enjoy fundraising for charities, many of which are local to the Midsomer Norton and Radstock area, and getting involved in local community events. For example, we were at the Midsomer Norton Town Fayre in July where we gave the children balloons printed with the QR Code to our website and explained Freemasonry to their parents. Early September we were at the Midsomer Norton Farmers Market and at the end of that month we held our very first (and successful) MacMillan Coffee Morning in the Masonic Hall, where we raised £210 which we then rounded up to £400 from our charity fund. As a departure from our usual cheque donations, we sponsored Jasper, a black labrador puppy for the first two years of his training to become a Guide Dog for the Blind. We hope this will become a regular annual sponsorship with the Guide Dogs Association. Earlier in the year we were pleased to able help the SWALLOW charity set up a forest school for their young people whereby they learn about the environment and develop out-door skills, whilst, most importantly, having fun. Proving we don’t work in isolation, in May we hosted the Rotary Club of Midsomer Norton and Radstock to a buffet lunch at the Masonic Hall, where members were given a tour of our Temple, and we answered their many questions about Freemasonry. How secret is that? In return, several of us helped at the Club’s Beer Festival in

Chilcompton a few weeks later. Furthermore, we sponsored the leaflet advising of the road closures along the carnival route for the Midsomer Norton Carnival Club. We took part in the Midsomer Norton Remembrance Day Parade and laid the Lodge wreath on the War Memorial. We also honoured Lance Corporal Percy Blinman, a Connaught Freemason, who lost his life on The Somme in World War 1; a memorial to whom is in the Masonic Hall. December, we hosted our Ladies and Guests to Christmas Carols and a traditional Christmas Dinner during which we formally unveiled a portrait of His Majesty King Charles commemorating his Coronation. And to round off the year, we had a new member join us with two more in the pipeline for January. Of course, all of this would not be possible without the generosity of the members, as our charitable funds are generated internally within the Lodge by various means, and not by collecting in the public domain, as other clubs and organisations do. Connaught Lodge is one of the oldest in Somerset, founded in 1912. The Lodge takes its name from HRH Arthur, Duke of Connaught, one of Queen Victoria’s sons. If you live in or around Midsomer Norton why not join us and help us continue our charitable work. If interested, you do not have to be invited to join. For further information: Email: Secretary3573@btinternet.com or go to our website and complete the Contact Form. We will then get in touch to arrange an informal chat. The Masonic Hall in Redfield Road, Midsomer Norton is available to hire for private functions and to community groups. Contact the Secretary above. Chris James. Charity Steward

SWALLOW Charity’s Radstock Community Training Cafe

SWALLOW Charity enables local people with learning disabilities to gain skills in catering and front-of-house at its community café in Radstock. SWALLOW currently supports 40 members to increase their employability through working at the café, making nutritious and delicious meals, learning about food hygiene, and serving customers. The Radstock Café is a thriving hub that welcomes everyone in the community and often hosts mother and baby groups, knitting circles, older people’s groups, groups from local schools and many more. Before Christmas was a very busy period for the café, where SWALLOW members made and served an incredible 250 festive meals, they would like to thank everyone who came along. Members also made a range of tasty chutneys, pickles and Christmas cakes, most of which sold out as they made such fantastic gifts.

The café serves as an important pathway in members’ journey towards employment. SWALLOW also creates paid opportunities for members through pop-up café events for local businesses and at local farmers’ markets. These experiences enable people with learning disabilities to increase their confidence in the workplace and for some, to seek work in the community. Last year, SWALLOW supported one of its members to gain permanent paid work at a local café and he has since undertaken professional barista training through his new employment. The Community Café in Radstock is open Tuesdays to Fridays, 9am – 3pm and offers a range of tasty meals and drinks at good prices. SWALLOW Charity looks forward to welcoming you! If you would like to learn more about how SWALLOW makes a difference in the lives of local people go to www.swallowcharity.org

FINAL YEAR OF RADSTOCK & WESTFIELD BIG LOCAL! Has it been that long already?!? It turns out that we’ve entered the final year of our decade-long programme of community investment… wowsers! And what an exciting journey we’ve been on too! The Lottery first told us about the grant money for this area in 2011, and as a community we had to organise a group of locals willing to volunteer their time and skills to take forward the consultations and planning. The team worked really hard to get us ready for the big launch in 2015, and we’ve barely had time to look back since! We’ll be creating our impact report soon, showing what we’ve been up to over the past ten years with the £1.15m grant from the National Lottery Community Fund. You’ll see that we’ve made good investments in health and wellbeing, children and young people, and community resilience, with lasting benefit for the whole area. Big investments last year include £28k to Little Lost Robot, based within the old printworks building in Radstock, to support them to develop creative projects for vulnerable young people, and £25k to Westfield Parish Council towards the creation of changing facilities and an outdoor toilet at Westhill rec (where we’d previously helped fund an outdoor gym and running track).

2024 – Winners at our 11th Dragons’ Den

2013 – The early days of consultation

We have a small amount of the £1.15m remaining for this year, which we’ll invest in another Dragons’ Den (our twelfth!) and a few other worthwhile projects. Check out our Small Fund awards if you’re thinking of doing something to benefit your community. Finally, it will be time to celebrate with the community – 1000s of people have taken part in projects we’ve supported, and over 100 have worked and volunteered with us to make it happen – it would be great to share our story with everyone involved! However, the journey might not end there – we’re also working on a plan for our group to carry on doing good stuff in the area. One project we’re really proud of, and that has consistently caught the imagination of the community, is our Dragons’ Den. We’ve run at least one a year (although not during the Covid-19 era), and will have made Dragons’ Den grants to over 120 amazing community projects by the end of the year! We’re looking for partners to invest in it to keep it going – so if you’re a business, group or an individual interested in contributing we’d love your support!

Message from the Town Clerk Hello All,

Below you will see a picture of our architect

It really has been a busy few months with lots of activity at the Town Council. Christmas (my favourite time of the year), it was lovely to see so many of you enjoying our activities from the Christmas Lights Switch on, the Children’s Christmas Party and the Seniors Tea Party. Coming back in January there always seems to be so much to catch up on and this year is no different.

Hannah Yeoll (and Lottie) talking to the Radstock

First, we have been working behind the scenes on completing some of the projects. We really have been so lucky with successful grant applications and support that have enabled lots of the projects, as well as an incredible team and support of our Councillors.
