UPDATE (6.45pm)

The man has now been located. Thank you to everyone who called in about this incident.

_____

We have received reports of a man acting in a threatening way in the Pill area this afternoon (Sunday 14 June).

Officers are in the area and carrying out urgent enquiries to locate him as soon as possible.

We are aware of social media posts today from members of the public saying they too are searching for the man.

We would please ask people allow our trained officers to respond to this situation instead as those efforts may inadvertently hinder our own enquiries.

The best way the public can help us is by calling 999 with any sightings that may assist us. Please quote log number 839 of 14 June.

Thank you.

🚨Your community needs you as a Parish Councillor🚨

Pill and Easton-in-Gordano Parish Council currently has six vacancies for parish councillors. The council has fifteen seats in total. The current number of councillors mean that it is getting more difficult to represent all of the needs of the community.

We urgently need suitably qualified people to step forward and apply to become parish councillors. This is a voluntary role, but it is a very rewarding one, as councillors have a direct impact on the quality of life for all people who live and work in the parish.

The main qualifications to be a councillor are:

➡ To be at least 18 years of age.
➡ Either live in the parish (or within three miles of the parish boundary), have their main place of employment in the parish or to own land or property in the parish.

As a councillor you will help gather data and make decisions on things such as:

🌳 Improving access to play, recreation and sporting facilities.
🚆 Transport matters (including the railway).
🏠 How housing will change the parish.

If you care about the quality of life in the parish where you live or work, then please consider joining our committed and dedicated team of councillors. For further information please contact the Parish Clerk by emailing [email protected]

2. Traffic Lights: Temporary signals will operate where required to manage vehicle flow.

3. Reduced Speed Limit: A Temporary Traffic Regulation Order (TTRO) is in effect to lower the speed limit for the safety of the workforce.

Big thank you to the people of Pill! North Somerset Council is now recommending that Pill Library stays open as a council-run service under Option B — thanks to the incredible response during the consultation.

We’re not quite there yet (Cabinet decision 11 Feb, Full Council 24 Feb), but this is very encouraging.
