Community Assembly of Street
Serving, supporting and protecting our local community
About Us
The Community Assembly of Street is a large village and civil parish in Someset, with a population of over 11,800 and is 2 miles to the South West of Glastonbury.
The settlement's earliest known name is Lantokay, meaning the sacred enclosure of Kea, a Celtic saint. The place-name 'Street' is first attested in Anglo-Saxon charters from 725 and 971, where it appears as Stret. It appears as Strete juxta Glastone in a charter from 1330 formerly in the British Museum. The word is the Old English straet meaning 'Roman road'.
In the 12th century, a causeway from Glastonbury was built to transport stone from what is now Street for rebuilding Glastonbury Abbey after a major fire in 1184. The causeway is about 100 yards north of a Roman road running north from Ilchester.
Community Assemblies are made up of residents concerned about a lack of democratic process at a local and national level, dedicated to preserving and asserting our inalienable rights and obligations to ourselves, the Earth and future generations.
