As of today, Street Parish Council have closed Merriman Park’s play equipment and Street’s Skate Park until further notice to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
The move is in support of the latest guidance from the Government and Public Health England over the need for ‘social distancing’.
People are being urged to avoid gatherings in public spaces, with pubs, restaurants, leisure centres and other venues currently closed.
The advice is for people to keep at least 2m apart to make it more difficult for the virus to spread, and to help protect those at risk.
Keep safe and thank you for your cooperation.

Opening this brand new play area is the culmination of months and years of planning by the Merriman Park Group and Street Parish Council. Ever since the first plans were drawn up for our ‘new’ park, we have wanted to renew the play equipment. So this is a joy! We hope that children and families will enjoy it for many years to come. I am grateful to all those who have made this happen. Have lots of fun everyone – Cllr. Claire Axten. Street Parish Council
The Parish Council has owned Merriman Park for the past 6 years. We are fortunate, that the park is centrally located which means its within easy reach for most families. Play parks are so important for children and families, they are a free outdoor activity, a place to socialise and have fun. With all that is happening in our current climate, we must still find reasons to have amusement and enjoyment. Hence the reason for this important investment. – Cllr. Andy Leafe. Chair of Street Parish Council.

At an extraordinary meeting of Street Parish Council, held on 25th August, it was resolved to re-open the High Street to traffic as soon as possible. Somerset County Council has now confirmed that the traffic management put in place to facilitate the road closure will be removed on the evening of 28th August. Therefore, Street High Street will reopen to all traffic from Saturday 29th August.
The High Street was temporarily pedestrianised to allow for social distancing as lockdown measures were eased. It was hoped to create a safe environment to encourage people back to the High Street and support local businesses.
The temporary closure was due to be reconsidered at the September Council meeting, however the review was brought forward amidst safety concerns due to motorists ignoring the road closure signs, concerns raised by residents in nearby streets that are not suitable for high volumes of traffic, and a number of local businesses reporting that they were being negatively impacted by the closure.
Street Parish Council would like to thank all those who took the time to contact the council to share their opinions and concerns.
NOTICE is hereby given pursuant to Local Elections (Parishes and Communities) (England and Wales) Rules 2006 that a vacancy exist for the office of Parish Councillor in the West Ward. The vacancy will be filled by Street Parish Council at the meeting to be held on 15th September, 2020. Suitably qualified persons are invited to submit their names and a brief personal summary to the Parish Clerk – Mrs. L.A. Ruff via email: street.parish@street-pc.gov.uk for consideration for co-option to the Council. Linda Ruff – Clerk 10.8.20
