Funding- there are no specific SSDC funds
available to support Jubilee celebrations. Funding for one-off

Parish and Town Councils, should they choose to support them.
Recycling and rubbish: Waste services are
unchanged on Bank Holiday Monday 4 June, but collections on Tuesday
to Friday will be one day later. Check the Somerset
Waste Partnership Bank Holiday Calendar (PDF document) for up

There will be a Beacon at Ham Hill Country Park on
