Weston In Gordano
Weston-in-Gordano is a village and civil parish in Somerset, England. It is situated in the middle of the Gordano Valley on the north side, and in the Unitary Authority of North Somerset, on the road between Clevedon and Portishead.
The parish has a population of just over 300. It is the largest village in the valley, with a public house, the 18th century White Hart, and a Garage.
The parish council has responsibility for local issues, including setting an annual precept (local rate) to cover the councils operating costs and producing annual accounts for public scrutiny. The parish council evaluates local planning applications and works with the local police, district council officers, and neighbourhood watch groups on matters of crime, security, and traffic.
The parish council's role also includes initiating projects for the maintenance and repair of parish facilities, such as the village hall or community centre, playing fields and playgrounds, as well as consulting with the district council on the maintenance, repair, and improvement of highways, drainage, footpaths, public transport, and street cleaning. Conservation matters (including trees and listed buildings) and environmental issues are also of interest to the council.
