  Midsomer Norton got hit by the snow early as it was predicted not to start until dusk. However, by 11am flurries began to fall and by 4pm there was just enough sticking to cause problems for motorists. One M&Co employee found she couldn't reverse her car out of the car parking space and pedestrians were treading lightly as the pathways through the High Street were icing up.  We may be in for more ice as the snow has turned to...

  The Tesco store in Midsomer Norton has a big display about its proposed expansion - including quotes from local people about what they apparently think. The entrance to the store in Old Mills has a huge display about the upcoming planning application to extend the supermarket by 22,000 sq ft. It has pictures of lots of happy-looking people on it. And some quotes too, telling the hundreds of passing shoppers what local people make of...

  By CarlaEGale

  Sounds like it is a worthwhile night out. Pity I have to work on Wednesdays.

  Having seen the sign for the Alpha Course hanging outside  Midsomer Norton Methodist Hall, I thought 'who can afford that?' I was under the impression that the Alpha Course was an 'expensive' course, aimed at regular church-goers. However, after looking at its website, I see that I was wrong on both counts. Its website says: "it is a low pressure, fun and informative course and is designed primarily for people who...

  Midsomer Norton's Town Council was delighted with the turn-out for Sunday's Big Tidy Up, More than 20 people showed up for the early session of the litter pick which took place from 10-noon and just as many turned out for the second duty from 2pm-4pm. "It was a great community effort, said Cllr Linda Dunford, "we had lots of new faces turn up too. Just look at what was collected in just two hours." And by 4pm,...
