Understanding your rights. Finding the support you need.

Finding out about your rights and navigating health and social care services can feel confusing and overwhelming, especially when you’re already managing concerns for yourself or someone you care about.

Somerset Council are putting on a Health and Social Care Day on 16th October 2026 in Crewkerne.

From personal experience, I know just how difficult it is to find and access the right support. An information day sounds like a really good idea.

Wessex Water Update

Hosepipe Ban starts on Tuesday 18 August at 00:01hrs.

Updated: 17 August 2026

https://www.wessexwater.co.uk/hosepipe-ban

Following a period of record breaking heatwaves and lower-than-average rainfall, our water supply network is under increasing pressure.

We've seen record levels of demand for water and with more hot weather to come and no significant rain forecast, we've made the difficult decision to introduce a hosepipe ban.

The hosepipe ban starts on Tuesday 18 August at 00:01hrs. From this point customers must not use a hosepipe for activities covered by the restrictions.

Who is affected

The hosepipe ban applies to all customers in our region who we supply with water.

Customers with a valid exemption are not affected by the ban.

Kind regards
Ruth
