The village of Ansford is situated in an attractive rural setting with far reaching views, with a network of public rights of way footpaths linking neighbouring parishes. Although there are no commercial shops or pubs, there is a thriving Community Hall for social, entertainment and business events, plus indoor sporting facilities. More amenities are available in the adjoining town of Castle Cary, with its distinctive local shops, a weekly market, community library run by volunteers, post office and mobile bank (once a week). The town also has two free car parks that are supported by Ansford Parish Council. Both Councils have created a joint neighbourhood plan for the area and jointly own and manage Fairfield – a large green open space area with a number of recreational facilities.
Committee: Full Council
Ansford Parish Council is taking action to increase safeguarding measures for residents in the Churchfield Drive area, by providing a new Speed Indicator Device in order to reduce the speed of vehicles using this road, and working in conjunction with Somerset Highways.
At long last, contractors have started to lay asphalt on the footways and part of the road around the Play Park.
With an ever increasing amount of traffic movements, the Council has decided to provide a second Speed Indicator Device [SID], in an attempt to control excessive speeds on the A371, the B3152 at Station Road and the B3153 in Clanville. The 20 mph signage locations are also shown.
Ansford Council has recently provided a dog waste bin in the Eastern part of the parish, and we are grateful to The Hut for installing it at the entrance to their premises, at Wyke Road. The locations of other waste bins is shown on the map, with more to follow.
