The Somerset & S Avon Vernacular building research group has available additional copies of “Somerset villages, the houses, cottages and farms of Chiselborough”. This publication is known as the “Yellow Book” due to the colour of its cover. It is over 100 pages, detailing historical information about many of the houses and cottages, with floor plans and information of previous inhabitants. Cost of £10 per copy. To aid logistics Fiona Wilson (Bridgestone House) is holding these copies. Anyone interested can contact Fiona on 07734495726, or by email or feel free to knock on the door!

Burridge Copse: A volunteer group, led by Graham Wheeler, has created a path to make Burridge Copse more accessible. Their aim was to provide improved, safe, access to the woodland for a broad range of abilities and interests within the community. On Sunday 17 December 2023 the path was opened by Roger Bulley, CPC Chairman, and the tape was cut by CPC Councillor Adrian Pipe. Read all about it, including several ways to participate in future, and enjoy the photographs here.

Pot holes: A very quick way to report these is through this website. It is very simple. Locate the area on the map, or use a postcode. Take a photo of the damage as this helps too. Fill in your details and send it in. It really works well and is quick to use. They automatically send the report to the right department and council. You can also report other things like fly tipping and blocked drains. The council often respond within a day or so. You'll know when they've inspected it, as they will mark the hole with spray paint - to save everyone reporting the same one. Happy Reporting ! —Paul

Fabulous Fingerposts: The village fingerposts have been repainted by a team of Chiselborough volunteers led by Ian Hodge. Enjoy the before and after photographs here. —Martyn, CPC Clerk
