Wow!! Well done everyone for the tremendous efforts you have made in decorating your properties with Christmas lights - what a fantastic spectacle.
For many years the Parish Clerk and I have driven the various judges around the Parish for their assessments and selections for the prizes the Parish Council give out for the properties with the best Christmas lights displays. This festive season I was (for obvious reasons) confronted with 10 times as many illuminated properties than normal. The circular theme of unity and togetherness was uppermost in people’s minds and visible in nearly all the displays. Well done everyone for adopting this symbol. My judgment reflects this.
Have you visited Hemyock Turbary recently?
The parish council has just finished creating a hard standing area for parking to improve access to the turbary. Many thanks to Councillor Nick Moon for overseeing the project.
The pc is hoping that Mid Devon District Council will agree to install a litter bin.

The work will commence on Monday 19th October and last approximately 6 weeks. During this time access around the trim trail, football matches and training should be unaffected. The work will be fenced off and covered over. See attached plan for more information. If anyone experiences any problems please let the parish clerk know. Donna Evans, hemyockpc@gmail.com.
