SECTION D ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Summary of the main achievements of the Charity during the year-
The new Unitary Councll for Somerset (now known as 'Somerset Council,) took offlce on l April 2023
(coinciding with the beginning of the financial period covered by this report). The new councll Inherited
all of the assets and responsibilities of the former district and county councils.
Since the new council took office the Trust's dealings with the council have been positive and
constructive about the restoration project both at an individual and corporate level. In common with
other councils Somerset Council has difficult financial issues which will take time to address. A period of
'bedding in, will be required before the new council can come to a decision on how they wish to proceed
with restoration of Dulverton Weir {which they now own). In the light of this the Trustees decided to
maintain their strategy of confining the Trust fundraisin8 programme to those funds necessary to fund
Trust activities rather than those needed for the weir restoration. During this financial period there was a
net fund inflow to the Trust.
The Trust has re-afflrmed Its wlllingness to work with Somerset Councll In the weir restoration project.
During thls reporting period the Trust:
Won funding for two important refurbishment projects along Dulverton Leat which will be carried
out later in 2024.
Secured a8reement from the new Somerset Council to carry out remedial repairs to Dulverton
Weir sufficient to ensure that Dulverton Leat continues to flow and give time for a full
restoration project to be put in place. Regulatory delays mean that these repairs should take
place in 2025.
Continued support activities formerly given to Somerset West & Taunton Council in line
with the Memorandum of Understanding with SWTC on joint management of the weir
and leat.
Brought flags and flagpoles previously loaned to the Trust for Trust events into Trust ownership.
