Minehead Energy Saving Centre can help you switch
We will be open on 5th March from 10am to 1pm in the Co-op car park,
Minehead, to help people switch to a cheaper energy supplier. If you
bring your bills we can do an online cost comparison to see which
companies and tariffs are cheapest and offer the best customer service.
The switching organisation will make the arrangements for you if you
decide to switch. Although gas and oil prices are falling this does not
necessarily get passed on to customers. Energy suppliers are in the
process of lowering gas prices by about 5% but wholesale gas prices fell
by 35% in the last year. Cost comparison websites are negotiating better
deals for customers and savings of up to £400 per year have been
promised. We can explain how the process works and discus any
problems you might have with energy bills and suppliers. If you cannot
come to the centre you can talk to one of our volunteers on the phone,
or phone a price comparison website such as U switch 0808 1783 492 or
money supermarket 0845 345 5708.

Work has recently begun on major new refurbishment and repairs to
Watchet Boat Museum and an attached new build Visitor Centre, ready to
open its doors for visitors in time for the summer season 2016.
Construction can begin thanks to the final piece of funding secured through a
grant from Trusthouse Charitable Foundation who was so impressed by the
quality of the project, they increased their grant offer from £30k to £100k.
When funds permit, Trusthouse chooses one or two projects a year from all
those submitted which they think are especially worthy of support to make a
‘surprise’ offer of a significantly larger grant than usual.
Lady Balfour of Burleigh, Chairman of Trusthouse’s Grants Committee said:
“We are delighted to be able to support this project which has the potential
to make so much difference to the economy of the town of Watchet. We
were very impressed by the commitment, passion and enthusiasm the
members of the Onion Collective show to reviving the fortunes of the town.”
The project is also funded by EDF’s Community Impact Mitigation Fund for
capital costs, and the Coastal Revival Fund for the construction of a footpath
and interactive rope making machine leading from the Govier’s Lane Crossing
to the new Visitor Centre, and with a contribution from Watchet Town
Council for the provision of their new office space.
The Boat Museum is an important part of the industrial and maritime story of
Watchet and has been long overdue some attention. Situated at the Lime
Cross area, directly in front of the West Somerset Railway, the site is the
‘gateway’ into Watchet, and clearly heralds Watchet’s story as one of
maritime heritage. Overseen by Invisible Studio Architects, the new works to
the Boat Museum, which was designed by Brunel as the railway goods shed
and built in 1853, will include lime pointing to the building, repairs to the

roller doors, new guttering and attention to stonework where needed. New
large glass panels will be installed where the taxi office stood, allowing for
better visibility into the museum, as well as making the museum much lighter
inside. The addition of plumbing for a shared staff kitchen as well as a staff and
disabled toilet will mean that the space becomes more pleasant for volunteers
to spend periods of time. Keeping the authenticity of the museum is
important, and so the re-fit of the museum interior will be low key and will
use existing contents and materials, ensuring that it does not lose its ‘gritty’
and ‘real’ feel!
The addition of a brand new Visitor Centre will mean that visitors have a
dedicated first port-of-call to find out about all the great things to do and see
in Watchet. They will be able to collect one of the new visitor maps, and it
will naturally increase footfall to the Boat Museum, which celebrates the
maritime history of the time. The aim is to encourage visitors to spend more
time, and therefore more money in the town. It also means that opening
hours for the Boat Museum can be extended up to 9-5, 7 days a week.
Alongside the visitor and museum offering the building will also provide up-
to-date, fully accessible and much-needed new offices for Watchet Town
Council. The main reception area will double up as a Council Chamber in the
evenings, providing modern facilities and around twice as much space as at
present. It will mean that the whole space becomes a community hub for the
town.
Onion Collective Director Naomi Griffith said: “We are delighted to see this
project begin in earnest and were thrilled to receive Trusthouse’s increased
grant. We have been working towards this project for two years now,
following intense community consultation, and to see the ideas of Watchet
people become a reality is truly exciting. We would like to thank everyone
who has helped us to get this far, and very much look forward to opening the
doors in Summer 2016.”
The Trusthouse Charitable Foundation was formed in 1997 following the
merger between Trust House Forte plc and Granada plc. Following the sale
of shares in Granada, the new ‘Trusthouse’ (rather than Trust House)
became a registered charity in 1997, with investments totalling circa £50
million. The return from these investments provides the annual grants budget
of some £2 million which is awarded to charitable organisations and projects.
