Local heroes of the pandemic presented with Somerset Medal
A select few of Somerset’s many unsung coronavirus heroes have been presented with awards as the first ever winners of the Somerset Medal.
The Somerset Medal was launched by Somerset County Council to say a heartfelt thank-you to the best of the best, with the winners honoured at a special reception at Taunton Rugby Club this week.
Somerset’s Lord Lieutenant Annie Maw spoke at the start of the ceremony before the medals were presented by Council Vice Chair Councillor Mark Keating.
Those honoured included local vaccination volunteers, food deliverers, PPE producers, pop-up shop keepers and a whole host of other good Samaritans who all went above and beyond to make sure Somerset kept going during the pandemic.

Brighton s public loos to go gender neutral
18th Feb 2013 9:43am | By Editor Catering to its transgender demographic, the Brighton council has decided to flush male and female public toilets, and replace them with “gender neutral” loos.
Construction is set to begin this week on a set of toilets that in place of specifying text, will instead have images of a man, woman and child fitted to the toilet doors. The refurbishment of the toilets in Rottingdean seafront in Brighton will clock in at around £140,000, and is jointly funded by Rottingdean parish council and the city council.

A NEW energy recovery facility can be completed near the M5 following a decision by Somerset councillors. Martin Arkins of Bridgwater Resource Recovery Ltd. was granted planning permission in April 2015 to construct the facility on Showground Road in Bridgwater, not far from the Hopkins concrete plant. Construction on the site is progressing well, with the new facility expecting to start generating energy from burning refuse by the end of the year. Somerset County Council has now signed off on the final planning permission for the site, formalising how much material it will handle a year and how many extra vehicle movements will be permitted.
