Here are some of the latest applications submitted to Somerset Council for the West Somerset and Exmoor areas:

Exmoor National Park Authority intend to close a public bridleway in Dunster for six months due to an unsafe bridge.

The closure is being made because of the likelihood of danger to the public using the public bridleway WL7/9.

Walkers and cyclists will be prohibited from using part of public bridleway WL7/9 between SS 9776 4303 and SS 9760 4319.

The order will come into force on December 19 and will remain for six months.

The road heading North East from Bonny Cross, clayhanger will be closed for a maximum of 18 months.

The closure will begin on January 5 and is anticipated to finish on January 26.

The temporary road restriction is enforced so a new water main can be installed which will replace the three inch asbestos water main.
