HISTORY enthusiasts in Gloucestershire have been handed a grant to help preserve significant maps. The Wotton-under-Edge Historical Society has received £800 from Persimmon Homes Severn Valley to keep items at the Museum and Heritage Centre in top condition. The society has a collection of more than 11,000 artefacts donated by local residents since 1945, including many maps. The volunteers are looking to purchase a specialist A1 cabinet to store the maps. The funding has come from Persimmon Homes’ long-running Community Champions scheme. Haidee Jackson, of The Wotton-under-Edge Historical Society, said: “Our volunteers have worked hard during the lockdowns in support of the new digital museum database that tracks and traces every artifact location in the collection.

THOUSANDS of new homes could still be approved in Somerset in 2021 if the government acts to end local authorities’ planning paralysis. The four Somerset district councils have been struggling to make decisions on major planning applications since a court ruling which required additional tests to be carried out on developments planned in the county. The councils have requested assistance from central government to carry out these tests and help them clear this backlog. If successful, thousands more homes could be approved across the county on top of those permissions already granted. 2020 has seen a number of large housing developments given the go-ahead across Somerset by the four district councils – Mendip, Sedgemoor, Somerset West & Taunton and South Somerset.
