hats On WELLINGTON

Friends of Wellington Park If your Charity or Community organisation SPRING FAYRE has an event that they Sunday 5th May in Wellington Park wish to advertise in the Whats on Wellington section if any organisation, community group or individual would of the Wellington Edge like to have a stall to either promote what they do, in order to either ring Richard on recruit more members or even to sell their products. 01823 429220 or email to: For further information contact: info@edgepublications.co.uk Mrs Rosemary Hookway on 01823 662463 or Mrs Sandra Nunn on 01823 652676 WELLINGTON & DISTRICT TWINNING ASSOCIATION The Association promotes friendship between Wellington and its twin towns of Lillebonne in Normandy, Immenstadt in Bavaria and Torres Vedras in Portugal. We do that by actively assisting groups who wish to make contact with visits to and from the twin towns whenever possible. Wellington has been twinned with Lillebonne since 1964 and many exchanges have taken place during the last 55 years. We are hoping to receive a group from our friends from Lillebonne later this year. However, our French friends have asked if we can also find some young families who would be interested in forming friendships and taking part in an exchange. Many of our current members joined in their 30s or 40s and, although we still have a membership of 60/70 people, the vast majority of us are over 60 years of age as are our current exchange friends in Lillebonne. We are hoping that we can find some younger people/families from the Wellington area who would like to accommodate some younger families from Lillebonne. The visits usually take place over a long weekend (3/4 days) and obviously Wellington families would be welcome on a reciprocal visit to Lillebonne when we go there next year. The Association would be delighted to hear from anyone who is interested. Contact either Roger Nunn (Chairman) or Barbara Allen (joint secretary) Tel : 01823 652676 Tel: 01823 461577 4

STOP PRESS With huge sadness I report that one of Wellingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite shops has decided to close. Mad Dog, the Designer Brand shop in South Street, has after ten years decided not to renew their lease. Owner Sally Hooper has been a driving force in supporting and providing innovation for the High Street and in particular, South Street. Her friendly, welcoming and attractively presented shop has been an oasis and one of the core reasons that Wellington offers something different to other town centres. In announcing the closure, Sally told the Edge that she had enjoyed a fantastic ten years and thoroughly enjoyed the challenges and highs and lows of trading, especially during both the recession and the peaks of seasonal booms. However, the forthcoming end of her lease had focussed on whether she wished to continue and while she will miss the many customers who had become friends over the years she was looking forward to having a break from the hamster wheel before undertaking a new personal challenge. The Wellington Edge wishes Sally and her lovely team huge success in the future and hope that No. 9 South Street will soon be thriving with a new business.

The Santa Christmas Collection by the Wellington Rotary Club raised £3800 for local charities thanks to the generosity of the hundreds of people who kindly donated as they came out with their children to meet Santa on his travels around the town. In addition a further £400+ was raised in the raffle of a hamper at the Beambridge Inn and over xxxx donations to the Food Bank were made by Rotarians at their Christmas lunch. Presdent James Jellard said this was the highest ever sum raised and he was overwhelmed with the generosity of everyone we met.

GRANTS Since our last newsletter the Council has been busy considering a number of applications for grants. The Council has a limited grants budget and are not always able to help everyone that applies. However, the following grants have been awarded:Wellington Rugby Football Club (WRFC) - £2000 towards the purchase of Beech Grove Field to enable them to extend their playing facilities. SWEDA UK (Somerset and Wessex Eating Disorders UK) - £500 to cover the cost of running three workshops in Wellington linked in with local schools to raise awareness of eating disorders.

Helping Hands in Wellington this Winter There’s no doubt that our local countryside looks stunning when dressed up in a sprinkling of clear white snow. Sledges are dusted off and, of course, children and dogs can’t wait to get outside and play. However, for others the advent of severe weather conditions can pose real problems, with slippery pavements and roads making it difficult to get out for essential supplies. Those with mobility or health issues can be particularly affected and snowy conditions can cause a great deal of worry. Wellington Town Council is currently updating its list of volunteers who are willing to help out in their neighbourhood in the event of extreme weather in the coming winter. This may be getting out the shovel and clearing a stretch of pavements or running an essential errand for a neighbour, whether on foot or in a vehicle which can cope with snowed-up roads. All offers of help will be greatly appreciated and if you feel you can lend a hand please contact Kathryn or Gill at the Town Council office with details of any assistance you can offer. Your details will not be shared with anyone outside of the Clerk’s Office and you will only be contacted in the case of extreme conditions.

REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY 2019 AND BEYOND In the last issue of the Town Council Newsletter we asked for the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s view on a change in how we hold Remembrance Sunday. The Mayor, Councillor Gary James, felt that Wellington, as one of the largest towns in the area, should show its gratitude to the Fallen as the nation does at 11am in the Park rather than, as we have traditionally done, in the afternoon of Remembrance Sunday. The local Branch of the Royal British Legion take a different view as they consider more people attend in the afternoon. It enables a number of service organisations and numerous association standard bearers and other ex-service organisations to come from Taunton. Some parents whose children are taking part also find it easier to attend in the afternoon. The Legion also say that a morning service could interfere with local churches in the town and surrounding villages who all hold traditional morning services and the Clergy may not be able to attend. The local MP may not be able to attend here in the morning. The Branch also point out that the service has been continuously held in the afternoon since 1922. The RBL are the National Custodians of Remembrance, 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 all views. The Council would still be delighted to hear your views. Please contact the Town Council office or email us on yourview@wellingtontowncouncil.co.uk.

Budget Wellington Town Council has agreed a rise in its share of the local council tax for the year starting in April. This amounts to £51.19 per annum per household, a rise of £9.57 per annum, and will raise an income £268,358 in 2019/20. Some services traditionally provided by Taunton Deane Borough Council are being reduced and Somerset County Council are also making cuts and this small increase amounting to just over 18p a week would ensure the Town Council can respond to new challenges. Councillors are very keen for Wellington to thrive and to maintain a decent level of services we need to spend money. Ongoing commitments for the year ahead include the maintenance of the Longforth Road toilets, the services of a Community Warden and money towards the Youth Service at the Young Peoples Centre.

WHERE The Mayor, Councillor Gary James, presented a cheque for £216 to Barbara Ford from WHERE, the charity which provides support for adults with disabilities. The money was collected at his Civic Service held at Wellington School. WHERE runs activities from its centre in North Street and can be contacted on: 01823 665896.

Somerset County Council carry out gritting on our precautionary gritting network to help highway users in Somerset get around in conditions of snow and ice. This covers around 720 miles or 17 per cent of the total roads in Somerset. Check on which roads are gritted in our searchable map at www.travelsomerset.co.uk We have weather stations across Somerset and receive special daily forecasts to predict road surface temperatures and air moisture content. Gritting is usually carried out before road surface temperatures are predicted to drop below 1°C and frost or ice is expected to form on the road. In winter you can check when the gritters are in action with daily updates on Twitter. What we do We are responsible for gritting roads in Somerset, except for the M5, A303 and A36 which are treated by Highways England. Resources are not available to treat all roads so criteria have been used that meet national guidelines to enable the precautionary salting network to be defined. This has been done to ensure a consistent approach across the county and achieve a responsible balance between cost and level of service. The criteria used to define the routes are: • • • • • • • •

Connectivity between major communities; Links to the strategic highway network; Connectivity across authority boundaries where appropriate; Links to transport interchanges; Access to emergency facilities including Fire and Rescue, Police, Ambulance Services and hospitals; Links to critical infrastructure; Principal public transport routes, access to rail and bus stations, and to bus garages and other depots; Other locally important facilities.

Snow events In the event of snow we have established emergency plans in place, working alongside the emergency services and partners to clear the network as quickly as possible. We can equip our gritters with snowploughs and also have arrangements with farmers and snowplough operators who are employed to clear snow on our behalf. We prioritise our primary gritting network and move on to clear our secondary and minor networks as resources allow. Driving advice If you have to travel in severe weather, the Met Office has produced a guide to driving in severe weather which has plenty of useful advice. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/.../driving-in-severe-weather

Remember: • • • • • •

Only the busiest roads are salted, most are not – drive safely In icy conditions braking distances can increase tenfold It takes time for salt to become effective Rain can wash salt off roads In very low temperatures even salting does not prevent icing Extra caution is needed when driving in bad weather

What you can do: • • • • •

Prepare your vehicle for winter Check the weather forecast and road conditions before travelling Allow extra time for your journey Give gritters and snowploughs plenty of room to operate Carry a shovel and blanket in your vehicle

Clear snow from a road, path or cycleway: You can clear snow and ice from pavements yourself. It’s unlikely that you’ll be sued or held responsible if someone is injured on a path or pavement if you’ve cleared it carefully. How to clear snow and ice When you clear snow and ice: • • • • •

do it early in the day - it’s easier to move fresh, loose snow don’t use water - it might refreeze and turn to black ice use salt if possible - it will melt the ice or snow and stop it from refreezing overnight (but don’t use the salt from salting bins as this is used to keep roads clear) you can use ash and sand if you don’t have enough salt - it will provide grip underfoot pay extra attention when clearing steps and steep pathways - using more salt may help

Schools and Children’s Centres: You can find details of schools and children’s centres which have let us know about closures or restricted opening on www.somerset.org.uk at the SLP - School Notifications - Closures and Partial Closures page. Waste and Recycling: Guidance and updates on refuse and recycling collections and recycling sites if there is severe weather are available on the Somerset Waste Partnership website. Transport : You can find out about the latest updates on weather affected routes for public transport and weather affected routes for school transport on the transport affected by bad weather page.

Finger on the Pulse By Councillor Andrew Govier Happy New Year to you all. Already we are heading towards the end of January and a lot of people seem to have been suffering from coughs and colds. We are grateful to all the excellent staff in our local surgeries and pharmacies who keep treating all our ailments. It was disappointing to hear this week that the re-opening of Wellington Community Hospital has been delayed due to a shortage of nursing staff. I genuinely hope that this is just a temporary delay but the shortage of staff in the NHS is becoming a real concern. We were recently advised that we were over 120 GPs short in Somerset. There are major shortages of staff in many specialisms throughout the service and this is having a detrimental impact on waiting times and lists. We need to ensure that more staff are trained across the board to make sure that this trend is reversed. On a more positive note, the local police have changed the way that they are operating since October and hopefully this is having an encouraging impact. The police officers and PCSOs are getting out into the town more and are using community venues to write up their notes so they are much more visible. There are still concerns about the lack of numbers and the new model isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t perfect but a number of residents have commented positively on the benefits of a more visible police presence. Thank you to all the police staff for all that they do. It is amazing to me that last week I was invited to attend the 10th anniversary of the Rockets pre-school at Rockwell Green(C of E) Primary School. I was heavily involved in the move of the pre-school from the village hall to the school site. Since then they have gone from strength to strength and they now have a superb purpose-built building that provides an excellent environment for the staff and children. Well done to Sandra Mackie and her excellent staff team for their dedication and hard work over the years. At the Rockets event, it was nice to meet the new headteacher of Rockwell Green School, Mike Berrisford, and I wish him every success in this role. Mike completes the set of new headteachers at our local primary schools in the town. I have now had the pleasure to meet them all and I hope to work closely with them in the coming years. There are small positive steps on the development of sports facilities in the town. After many years of discussions and hard work by club members, Wellington Rugby Club is in the process of purchasing the old Beech Grove School playing field from Somerset County Council. This will secure a second pitch for the club and will further enhance their excellent facilities. There has also been agreement between the sports clubs and councils on the next steps in the development of the playing pitch strategy. There is still a long way to go but I am hopeful that in a few yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; time all the sports clubs will have improved facilities. All our local clubs provide wonderful opportunities for people of all ages to enjoy sport and better facilities will only encourage more of this. Thank you to all the volunteers in every club that make this happen. If you would like to raise any issues with me about matters contained in the article or other concerns then please feel free to ring me on 01823 667589 or email me on: ajgovier@somerset.gov.uk. 18

Scar Tissue Release Scars can be the cause of seemingly unrelated, very disy pp as Ha tressing m pain and restriction. t ris Ch Even if they were caused many years ago. Recently, I’ve seen people with symptoms resulting from old scars for example mastectomy, Caesarian section and abdominal surgery going back even as long as 40 years ago. Scar tissue release therapy has brought some very worthwhile results. Scar tissue can have many physical consequences - pain, numbness, tingling, itching and burning in the scar line itself. And farreaching results elsewhere in the body. The effects of post-surgical scars or scarring from accidents can be deep-seated and are often neglected and regarded as untreatable. Gentle scar tissue release can bring some very welcome improvements. The scar may reduce in prominence: this is not the focus but can be a perk if it happens. Scar tissue can result not only from surgery but also from injury without the skin being cut or broken for example sports injury.

Abdominal surgery including C-Section and abdominal hysterectomy can lead to scarring causing internal dragging or pulling sensations or a feeling of being internally tied or even a little disconnected. Abdominal scarring may be contributory to unexplained back pain. A man in his late 50’s who had 3 scars resulting from appendicectomy and peritonitis in his midteens, had scar release therapy. The scars were not sensitive at all but whilst being worked on he noticed a difference in sensations in the 2 sides of the largest scar and described feeling one side being more integrated than the other. He also noticed following the first session that he’d been digging a tree root out and had to physically brace himself to do so. He’d felt the strain but the effects didn’t last. Previously, he would have expected back pain resulting. If you have a scar which causes you problems it’s worth considering gentle scar tissue release therapy which can bring significant welcome and releasing changes in many instances.

More than just a good read My Dear Old Boys by Kate Hodson Remembering George Corner and the fallen of Wellington School 1914 - 1918 Wellington School in Somerset lost 37 Old Boys during World War 1. This book aims to tell their stories alongside that of their inspirational Headmaster, George Corner. Through their letters, the School Magazines and historical records, each man’s story is told, bringing him back to us as an individual. George Corner’s dedication to his ‘boys’ and his commitment to building ‘a fitting memorial’ to them in the form of a Memorial Chapel forms a wonderful and unique story. The twelve year journey was one beset by money worries and setbacks, but Corner’s aim was finally realised. The Chapel he spent so long building is now the ‘beating heart’ of the School. The book provides a moving account of a School community determined to build something positive for future generations after so many years of tragedy and hardship. This is a beautifully presented and thoroughly researched book that would grace any coffee table and is an ideal book to dip in to on a regular basis. It is a must have book for anyone who has a connection with Wellington in general and Wellington School in particular. The author, Kate Hodson, has taught English at Wellington School since 1999 and any pupil who has been in her class will recognise the care, humanity and attention to detail that has gone into producing this history. This book is a fitting memorial to those “Dear Old Boys” who gave their lives for their Country and as a legacy for a truly great Headmaster, George Corner. Kate says in her opening dedication “I just hope I have done them justice” She certainly has and I cannot recommend this book highly enough. https://mydearoldboys.com 40

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.

Two Intriguing Dates

by Colin Spackman

One of the joys of Wellingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local history, as it is everywhere, is the number of plaques, carvings, carvings and castings found on buildings and on other structures. This article will cover two such items which, although in public view, are easily missed. If you care to look for them, you might go along some paths with which you are not familiar., The first item is a date carving on the wall bordering the pathway that links White Hart Lane, the Asda car park and Alexandria Road. The wall itself appears to have been built in two stages. The lower part is built of chert, a local form of flint; the upper part is of locally made brick. At about the halfway point along the wall and just a few feet above ground level is a block with the date 1853 carved in - see picture. The reason for and position of the carving are a mystery. The wall was probably the northern boundary of what is now the Royal Mail sorting office but at one time was the White Hart Inn. But then why would the date be showing on the outside of the wall. Perhaps all that can be said is that the wall was built, or maybe rebuilt in 1853. The second date is on a metal footbridge over the Rockwell Stream. The footbridge probably locally made is similar to many over the watercourses, natural and artificial, in the area of the Basins. Set in on one of the side bars on the north side of the footbridge is the date 1831 - see picture. To find the bridge from the centre of Wellington walk along the main road towards Rockwell Green until you reach the brow of Hilly Head. There turn right up a lane, pass through a kissing gate and follow the worn path. Pause for a moment at the summit and admire the view. You can see the Brendons, the Quantocks and the Blackdowns. In winter you can just see the Monument through the trees. And also you can see how Wellington slopes up from the River Tone towards the town centre and beyond. Surely one of the best easily accessed local viewpoints To get to the bridge continue along the path, through an old kissing gate beside an old metal bench, an go down the slope to meet the stream and its foot bridge. Alternatively, from north Wellington follow the tarmac path through the Basins until you get to Rockwell Green. Again the reason for the date is unknown but it would seem to indicate that people have been using that route for over a hundred and eighty years - present day users are enjoying part of the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heritage on a daily basis.

Senior Snippets - Tips to stay safe online There are more ‘silversurfers’ than ever before as according to the Office for National Statistics almost 75% of adults aged 65+ use the internet. This generation is logging on more than ever to keep in touch with friends and family –emailing, using Skype and Facebook. They’re also using it for leisure – anything from booking holidays and shopping online to interacting on social forums. But statistics also show that the over 75’s in particular are more at risk of being targeted by internet fraudsters.

A few simple steps can really make a difference. Create a strong password – your password is your first line of defence so don’t be tempted to use the same one for all accounts. Mix it up - use a combination of letters, capitals and numbers and don’t be tempted to use things which would be easy to guess eg.Your birthday or favourite football team. If you can’t remember your passwords, keep them somewhere really safe that won’t be obvious to find. Be aware of what you share – Be careful not to divulge too much personal information on social media as scammers can easily piece this together – your date of birth, your address etc. It’s also worth checking the privacy settings on your social media accounts so that only people you want to share your information with can see it. Manage your messages – Don’t open any emails or respond to any social media messages that look suspicious. Don’t ever give out personal information, including banking and credit card numbers, to anyone you don’t know. Secure your software - Make sure your computer has all the security it needs as well as a security updating system. There are many anti-virus programs available, ranging from expensive to free, so check with a trusted source who is knowledgeable about computers. Savvy shopping – Make sure you are buying from reputable sources. Do your homework on the individual or company to make sure they’re legitimate. If in doubt, get a second opinion from someone you trust. If you’re using an auction site like eBay, never transfer any money directly to a bank account or hand over any personal details.

Report it! If you are concerned that you or a loved one might have been scammed or if you know someone who has been affected by fraudsters, make sure to contact Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 or visit www.actionfraud.police.uk. Home Instead Senior Care runs scam awareness workshops around the country. You can also read more advice around scams in the Home Instead Senior Care information and resources section :

BACK TO BACH

On 30 March, Wellington Choral Society and Wellington Sinfonia will be performing Johann Sebastian Bach’s St Matthew Passion at St John’s Church, Wellington. This oratorio is considered by many to be amongst the greatest choral works ever written. Wellington Choral Society last sung the Passion on 29 March 1952 so they will be performing this gem of sacred choral music almost exactly 67 years later. The St Matthew Passion was written by Bach in 1727 and was probably first performed on Good Friday in the same year in St Thomas Church (Thomaskirche) in Leipzig, Saxony. Bach worked there as the musical director (Kapellmeister) from 1723 until his death in 1750. The work is for a choir, solo voices and orchestra. Both the choir and the orchestra are divided into two sections becoming a double choir and a double orchestra. There are, however, several chorales which are sung by the whole choir. These are akin to hymn tunes and it is likely that in Bach’s time the congregation would have joined in singing them as they were often sung at church services. By the time of Bach’s death, musical fashions were changing and his music was beginning to be thought of as antiquated. The St Matthew Passion, in common with other works by Bach, was rarely performed in the years following Bach’s death although in 1829 Mendelssohn rediscovered the Passion and decided to perform a short version of it in Berlin. It immediately became popular and his works began to be performed once more. He is now revered as one of the greatest of all composers. In 1951/52, the Choral Society was seeking additional members and now, once again, the Society is looking for people interested in trying their hand at or returning to choral music. Although rehearsals for the St Matthew Passion began on 9 January, potential singers are warmly invited to drop in to one or two rehearsals to see if choral singing appeals to them. No audition is necessary and the ability to read music is not essential. Rehearsals are every Wednesday evening starting at 7pm for 7.30pm. The venue is Wellington Methodist Church. Waterloo Road, Wellington TA21 8JQ.

The St Matthew Passion is to be performed on Saturday 30 March 2019 at St John’s Church Wellington at 7.00pm.Tickets at £14 (under 18s free) will be available from: Odette’s Tearoom, 27 High Street, Wellington (01823 667919), online at www.wellingtonchoralsociety.org.uk, choir members or on the door. 76

Don’t panic, don’t panic! Article adapted by Greg Sellers (Investment Manager at Hawksmoor Investment Management) and based on an original by Jim Wood-Smith (Chief Investment Officer at Hawksmoor Investment Management). Reviewing my Edge article a year ago when I reported that 2017 was an annus mirabilis for investors (especially those in cryptocurrencies), 2018 has turned into an annus horribilus. Even the US market (the darling for much of 2018) eventually moved in tandem with other developed markets. There was not even a whiff of the ‘Santa Claus rally’ in 2018 either (see my previous article). In fact, the US market suffered its worst Christmas Eve fall since 1933! A year that began so brightly ultimately ran away with itself and ended with equity market falls uncomfortably reminiscent of 2008 and 2009. However, at Hawksmoor we would argue that this is where the similarities with the Great Financial Crisis begin and end. Financial markets have had an arguably overdue troublesome patch but there is little reason for this to develop into anything of long-lasting significance. Hawksmoor’s New Year message is to not panic and that December’s storm will blow itself out. During the past year, I noted that our greatest fear was that of valuation. That fear is what has ultimately reversed the direction of equity markets around the world; the bull market of a near decade’s standing has run out of puff and can no longer survive on hope alone. So what it is that has changed so dramatically over the past quarter? Here in the UK we have the parochial inconvenience of Brexit. That though is a fan on the flames of falling equity markets, it is not the cause of the fire. The spark that lit the flames was the fear of a so-called ‘trade war’ between the United States and China. Investors see slower economic growth this year as a result, which in turn means company profits below previously optimistic expectations and hence, requires lower equity markets. That is especially pertinent when the starting point was, as we argued last year, already expensive. Financial markets are moved just as much by hopes and fears as they are by reality. Indeed, economies themselves thrive and flounder on the same frail sentiments. Fear alone is enough to put both economic growth and equity markets into a spin. This is precisely what we are currently seeing. The potential impact of the feared ‘trade war’ becomes so much greater against the backdrop of weaker Chinese economic data, rising US interest rates, a split US Congress, a divided Europe and a number of Emerging Markets struggling to pay their US dollar-denominated debts. Markets have a genuine fear that the cycle of higher interest rates (notably in the US) will result in a recession. This is important, as it surprisingly leads us to happier prospects. Despite what some may argue, Central Banks have plenty of ammunition to counter a slowdown. This is especially true for the US’s Federal Reserve. The key is that, with one notable exception, inflation is not a problem. That exception is the UK and is Brexit-dependent. With precious little inflation with which to concern themselves, 78

We are all on the mend Tools and tips: Wellington’s Repair Cafe will help get stuff working, for free By Nick Cater From the capital cities of Europe and states across the United States to, yes, the town of Wellington, repairing is rising fast on the agenda. Not only are there new international steps being taken to require manufacturers to make their goods easier to fix, but the Repair Cafe movement is spreading across Somerset, from Frome to the Blackdown Hills and Yeovil. And Wellington’s own Repair Cafe is getting underway from 10am to 12noon on Saturday 16 February at the Baptist Church Hall in South Street. And if you miss this one, look out for listings of more Repair Cafes on the Waste Not Somerset page on Facebook. The Repair Cafe in Wellington is part of a global movement to build skills, cut waste, save money, foster communities and get things repaired, for nothing. It is a free - donations welcome, of course volunteer-led effort to help ordinary people sort out their broken stuff while sharing tools and tips, coffee and cake, and working together to get items brought back to useful life, from toasters to bicycles, computers to clothes. And it has never been more needed, as products get more complicated, contain more software, and seemed designed to frustrate even the keenest tinkerer so we all give up and buy more new products while junking the old to be recycled at best and landfilled at worst. But the pollution from junked stuff and the cost of constant consumerism are driving a back-to-the-future demand for items that can come apart and be mended or even improved with replacement or new parts. Alongside repurposing, selling and giving things away, repairing is a key part of the reduce element within the waste hierarchy of “reduce, reduce, recycle ... “ priorities, it comes with the implication that we should 90

For information about advertising in the Wellington Edge ring 01823 429220 or visit www.edgepublications.co.uk

buy better and shop smarter to ensure that whatever we do purchase will last, be repairable, and be worth repairing. It is interesting that Repair Cafes have been spreading alongside the growth of the Men’s Shed movement, that aims to create spaces for men to talk, work together, reduce loneliness and isolation, and both create and mend items for themselves and for their community. Perhaps that should be next on Wellington’s agenda?

Garden Waste Meanwhile, outside those sheds, our lawns, flower beds and veg plots are about to start growing again, and it will soon be time to renew or start that paid-for fortnightly garden waste collection. Either wait for the renewal letter to land on the mat or go online to sort this out by visiting https://www.somersetwaste.gov.uk/garden-waste-collections. There is a lot that can be sorted online these days. Has a recycling box or bin gone AWOL or been broken? For a replacement recycling container, you can order one online by following the link at https://www.somersetwaste.gov.uk/order-containers. And if you ever need to check what kerbside collections - recycling or rubbish or garden waste - are on which dates, there is an easy online route. Just have your postcode handy and follow the link at https://www.somersetwaste.gov.uk/collection-day-look-up. You can also check online about your local recycling sites. Wellington Recycling Centre is at the Poole Brickworks, Nynehead, TA21 9HW, and is open five days a week: Monday 8am-7pm; Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday 8am-4pm; Sunday 8am-1pm. It is closed every Thursday and Friday (and over the festive season on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day). But a range of changes are on its way to Wellington Recycling Centre as part of a wider upgrade to the recycling sites network. From Monday 1 April 2019, Wellington will be open every day except Mondays and Tuesdays, and stay open later during the week - 9am-6pm in summer and 9am-5pm in winter - and have full weekends, opening 9-4 on Saturdays and Sundays. The next nearest recycling centre is Taunton, which is open 8am-4pm seven days a week at the Crown Industrial Estate, Priorswood, Taunton TA2 8QY. While still open seven days a week, from 1 April Taunton will also have those later weekday hours of 9am-6pm in summer and 9am-5pm in winter, and be open 9am-4pm on Saturdays and Sundays. These changes are coming in as the transformation of Somerset’s waste services gathers pace. Starting to roll out from next year will be a changes to your kerbside collections - including plans for many more items, especially plastics, in weekly recycling and three weekly pick-ups of your emptier rubbish bins - and a switch from landfilling rubbish in Somerset to incinerating it in Avonmouth top generate electricity.

For more on all waste services today and what is coming in the future, visit www. somersetwaste.gov.uk, and sign up to get all the news first by subscribing to SWP’s monthly updates. Nick Cater is Senior Communications Officer at Somerset Waste Partnership, which manages waste and recycling services on behalf of all local authorities in Somerset.
