With just a few days left to vote, supporters of a local poll on options for change in local government in Somerset have gathered to encourage people to have their say.
A NUCLEAR power station in Somerset is expecting to create 1,700 new jobs over the next year. Hinkley Point C s 2021 socio-economic impact report also highlights the project has spent £3.2billion with South West based businesses - more than twice the initial target. The 1,700 new roles will be in construction, welding, electrical, equipment installation and more, and they are hoping these will help the South West recover from the Covid-19 pandemic. Managing director of Hinkley Point C, Stuart Crooks, said the report shows the project is able to help create jobs and opportunity - as well as fight against climate change. As we come out of the pandemic, we hope to safely increase the numbers working on the project and create jobs just as they are needed most, he said.
YOUNG people in Sedgemoor are being invited to take part in a design competition supported by architect and TV presenter George Clarke. Gravity, a project to create the UK’s first smart campus and community, is launching the Gravity Young Persons Design Challenge. Gravity will be a 635 acre smart campus with industry focusing on clean growth from artificial intelligence to electric cars. Primary and secondary schools and colleges across the district are being invited to imagine and design what kind of place Gravity will be. Gravity, based between Puriton and Woolavington, is trying to create a zero-carbon community that integrates work, rest and play.
