New Town Park Plans Phase 1

After years of hard work, Community Assets returned to Town

History was made on the 25th of February 2019 when Bath and North East Somerset Council returned Midsomer Norton Town Hall and other key assets to the town, which the Town Council has immediately gifted into Charitable Trust to protect them for present and future generations. The package includes freeholds for the Town Hall, Somer Centre, Silver Street Nature Reserve and land at the entrance to the Town Park, as well as a 99-year lease on the Orchard Hall. The open market value of these properties totals £760,000, plus an additional £170,000 to be spent by B&NES on the Town Hall to bring it up to standard –most significantly including the installation of a new lift.

New Town Maps

During the month of April the new Town Maps were installed at various locations around the Town.

Autumn Litter Pick

Autumn Litter Pick in Midsomer Norton As we say goodbye to the summer, Midsomer Norton Town Council is arranging another litter pick and wants to hear from you if you know of a litter “hot spot” – especially if you can help with other volunteers to clear it up. “After another amazing summer of blooms around the town, which has only been made possible by the community coming together, our Autumn litter pick is fast approaching. It will take place on Sunday 29th September and we would really like to see as many people as possible to come along and lend a hand”, said Mayor Michael Evans, Midsomer Norton Town Council. The Autumn Litter Pick on starts at the Town Hall at 10:00am and will run until 12 noon. Equipment will be made available to volunteers and refreshments will be provided during the morning. Anyone under 18 needs to be accompanied by an adult.
