Parish Spring Clean – Sunday 8th March
Thank you to everyone that turned out to help with the Parish Spring Clean on Sunday 8th March – a lot of good work was achieved.
Two groups concentrated on fixing as many smaller potholes around the parish as they could – a lot of the larger potholes and damage along the edge of roads are too big for the Road Warden and his team to deal with. These need to be reported to DCC Highways who are better equipped to deal with them – https://www.devon.gov.uk/roads-and-transport/report-a-problem/report-a-pothole/ .
Other groups repaired posts around the village green, installed a new header board on the village noticeboard, cleaned and tidied around the War Memorial and in the playing fields, litter picked around the parish, etc. Thank you to everyone who took part.
