MIDSOMER NORTON BRIEFING: Wednesday January 8 2020

TODAY'S MIDSOMER NORTON:

The start of the New Year signifies hope and change for many. Resolutions are in full swing and optimism, even during the darkest, shortest days, is aplenty. Whilst the end of the year is a time for reflection the beginning of a new one offers the chance for a fresh start.

Boris Johnson's landslide win before Christmas felt as though New Year had come early. His decisive victory delivered the calming certainty and confidence that we have been lacking since the referendum owing to a Parliament that sought to undermine those that it was elected to serve. The Prime Minister's pledge for Britain post-Brexit offered clarity, stability and prosperity, the requisite framework to bolster us as we enter a new year – and decade – free from the shackles of the European Union (EU).

Scotland's premiere all-male a cappella ensemble will be presenting a medley of foot-tapping songs at the Downside School.

Combining the classical with the contemporary, their philosophy has always been to entertain. Their reputation has become synonymous with great harmony, great humour and suspect dance moves.

Over a hundred trees in the Midsomer Norton and Radstock post code area will be being picked up and will in turn support the local hospice charity.

You still have time - just - if you want to dispose of your Christmas Tree and help the local charity, Dorothy House Hospice care.

As we get into the swing of a new year, now is the perfect opportunity to both reflect and look forward in Radstock.

Since launching the Radstock Nub News website we have been building a hyper-local news source for Radstock community and surrounding villages.
