Village Toilets
At long last Mid Devon District Council has finished refurbishing the toilets.
Whilst the parish council was waiting for the refurbishment to be completed, the cleaner that had been lined up nearly a year ago has understandably found alternative employment so the parish council is now looking for a cleaner.
Just to make you aware.
A wasps nest next to the Logan Way Play Area has been reported to Mid Devon District Council.
Its pest control contractor MITIE has advised that the play area will have to be closed for 48 hours while the nest is being treated.
Thank you.
The Parish Council is planning to install a Visitor Information Board in the village car park. One of the panels will be a map of the village with photos and descriptions of points of interest. The map shown here is only a draft, the final version will be professionally designed by Ken White Signs of Tiverton. We welcome any comments about the draft and any ideas for additional points of interest to be included. This panel will be 1.2m x 0.84m ( 3ft 11in x 2ft 10in). Please email any comments to the parish clerk.
