Meantime details about the action and active travel initiatives across the Somer Valley was given to the Midsomer Norton Town Council at their last meeting.

The area has been awarded £1.5 million to spend on getting local people more active, so called social prescribing. The team behind the Beat The Street game in the summer are responsible for managing the funding which is being aimed in particular towards those with Long Term health conditions.

They are also working with Sustrans to bring more inclusivity bikes to the area along with possibly bringing some e bike hire to the Somer Valley along with mobile bike repair shops. The Active Way will be at Unit 14 on Tuesdays and welcome ideas and thoughts about how the area can be made more active.
