The Exmoor Society Pinnacle Award

8/4/2019

0 Comments

 


The Exmoor Society is concerned about young people moving away from the moor in search of employment.  The Pinnacle Award acts as a catalyst to unlock enterprise in young people by providing seed corn money for them to develop a rural business opportunity that may enable them to stay in the area. Some past winners are shown above and below on the poster  - to view the poster VIEW HERE.

This is an annual award of £3,000 available to individuals or groups aged between 18 and 27 who live, work or study in the greater Exmoor area.

Finalists will be judged on the originality and sustainability of their ideas and the ability to present them to the panel of judges. Neither academic achievement, nor completed projects are looked for, but the panel want to see well presented ideas that can make money, keep people on Exmoor andprovide local employment. Business areas can include agriculture, forestry, conservation, horticulture, crafts, traditional skills and tourism.

Applications are now invited for the 2019 Award, with a closing date of 30th June 2019.

Thank you to all those who come to Minehead Town Council Offices in Summerland Road for advice from Minehead Town Council, unfortunately we are not able to help all those who come to us for advice. 
 
In particular we are concerned that, beyond providing the contact number 0300 304 8000 which the new Somerset West and Taunton Council (formerly known as West Somerset District Council) have provided; we are unable to help those who arrive with queries for them.
 
Staff at Minehead Town Council want to welcome and help as many people as possible, it is frustrating and upsetting for both Staff and visitors when problems cannot be solved because they are outside the Town Council’s remit.
 
Minehead  Town Council can advise:
  1. Minehead Town Council can help with matters relating to: The cemetery, allotments, amenity/play ground areas around the town (E.g King George V Playing Field, Irnham Road recreation ground), public conveniences at Summerland Road (Car Park), Irnham Road, Warren Road, Quay West and Blenheim Gardens as well as grass cutting the verges in most areas.
  2. That the Somerset West and Taunton Council (formerly known as West Somerset District Council) have a representative at the library on a Friday morning 9 am – 12.30 pm : 1.30 -4.30 pm otherwise they are available at their main offices in Killick Way, Williton, TA4 4QA.        www.somersetwestandtaunton.gov.uk  
 
Minehead Town Council are unable to provide advice on Somerset West and Taunton Council matters such as:
  • Housing
  • Council tax
  • Waste collection/bins
 
We regret that this is not what most visitors to our offices who have Somerset West and Taunton Council (formerly known as West Somerset District Council) related issues  are hoping for  but we hope this posting on our website will help some residents to understand the remit of the Town Council
 
If in doubt do please ring our office on 01643 707213 and we will do our best to help.
 
Kind regards
 
Jenny Bashford
Town Clerk
