Community Hub and Library

Radstock Town Council currently reside in the former Bath & North East Somerset Council Library building.

In May 2019, the town council agreed to support the formation and continuation of a community library to support our residents. The facilities have allowed the town council to offer a space for a number of services to use.

It was quickly apparent in the last few years that the space within this building was not large enough for all the activities that were needed. An opportunity to acquire for a new community space has been made possible through the acquisition of Trinity Methodist Church that will be known in the future as Trinity Hub.

This has been supported by Bath & North East Somerset Council with funding made available thorough community infrastructure levy and UK shared prosperity funding.

Communities invited to shape local renewable energy projects

Bath & North East Somerset Council is inviting communities to explore the potential for locally owned renewable energy projects.

The Energy in Your Community project is seeking three communities interested in developing small-scale renewable energy - such as solar farms or wind turbines - owned and operated by the community for long-term local benefit.

Whether a group is ready to take action or just beginning to explore options, registering interest is the first step.  Complete the online by 5pm, Friday 1 August.

As part of the Community Energy Network, ‘Energy in Your Community’ is a partnership between Bath & North East Somerset Council, Bath & West Community Energy (BWCE), the Centre for Sustainable Energy (CSE), and the University of Bath.  Together, we aim to support the development of 5MW of community-owned renewable generation across the area by 2030.
