    Pharmacists in Somerset say it's becoming difficult to get hold of some medications, including for epilepsy and high blood pressure because of a national shortage of some drugs, made worse by the Iran war. The government has agreed to help by temporarily increasing what it pays pharmacies.

    The building used as Club Neo in Stars Lane in Yeovil has been put up for sale. The former cinema and bingo hall has been advertised with a guide price of £525,000 with the potential for a variety of alternative uses.

    Free gym memberships are being offered to people living with Parkinson's in Somerset. The scheme provides access to gym, swimming and group exercise classes at leisure centres run by Everyone Active.

    A public footpath in Yeovil Without will close later this week. The path on Mudford Road, between the junction with the footway linking Mudford Road and Fairmead Road, will shut on Saturday, May 9th. It’s for Openreach to carry out ducting work for a new customer connection.

    Cricket …and, Thomas Rew has signed a new contract to stay at Somerset. The 18-year-old first joined the junior ranks at 11 and made his first team debut last season in the T20 blast. The younger brother of team-mate James, he’s now signed a deal keeping him at the County Ground until the end of the 2028 campaign.
