A SOMERSET council intends to borrow up to £4.7m for a new “throughabout” which will unlock new housing and ease traffic between Bridgwater and the M5. Sedgemoor District Council is seeking to make improvements to the Dunball roundabout near junction 23, in order to bring forward more than 1,300 homes in the Bridgwater area and deliver new employment sites. After a failed bid to the government’s housing infrastructure fund (HIF), the council has decided to push forward by borrowing the money itself, paying it back through contributions from future developments. The project wil...

That’s not possible, but the Ghost sure does suit John’s surfing just about perfectly. It wouldn’t, though, if it weren’t for the dusty hands of Pyzel. He’s a shaping legend, as you well know. He makes shapes that sit under the feet of John John Floren...

Staff Mark Healey spends an inordinate amount of time chasing big waves. He’s logged more time surfing waves of serious consequence than almost anyone else. Remember THAT Puerto wave? Or THAT Pipeline wave? Yeah, he’s logged time on huge waves. He’s calculated about his surfing, though — as one must be to last in his business — so when the swell that would eventually turn into one of the biggest and best weekends Hawaii has ever seen popped up on the horizon, Healey didn’t just throw himself headlong into it.
