One fire engine from Glastonbury Fire Station was mobilised to reports of a vehicle on fire on the side of the road from a passer by.
On arrival crews confirmed one vehicle to be well alight and set to work using one compressed air foam attack jet, one hose reel jet with two firefighters wearing breathing apparatus.

Somerset Libraries are launching a new community initiative aimed at tackling ‘Period Poverty’ to mark National Libraries Week (8th October 2018) which this year celebrates health and wellbeing.

Anyone who would like to donate unopened sanitary products can do so at any time at their nearest library.  All products donated will then be redistributed to the five libraries running the pilot service which are Bridgwater, Chard, Glastonbury, Taunton and Yeovil. They will give out the products on a no-questions-asked basis from 12th November.

Today, Somerset Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and Somerset County Council announced a series of public drop-in sessions across the county to hear from local people about the kind of health and care service they'd like to see in the future.

She said: "We really do want to hear what local people think. We all have a stake in health and care services and it's important we all work together to shape the best fit for the future so come along to a drop-in event near you! I look forward to seeing lots of people over the coming weeks."
