Somerset County Council

Multimillion-pound plans to turn the 1930s lido into a 5,000-capacity venue have been approved.

VE Day celebrations will be taking part across the west of England between 5 and 8 May.

Residents have been urged to take care with further heavy rain expected.

The route, which links Taunton and Glastonbury, will be closed for 13 nights.

Councillors turn down the application with some saying enough new homes are being built in the town.

A regenerated area of Yeovil featuring an amphitheatre and large screen is opening in early 2025.

People in Somerset could face a bigger increase to their council tax bills next year if the local authority is granted special permission.

Council will push for smaller-scale improvements after the scheme was branded 'unaffordable'.
