COMMUNITY NEWS
Welcome back! We would like to welcome locals and visitors alike back into Tavistock as coronavirus restrictions start to ease. We are blessed to have lots of open space to enjoy your visit to the town and you can be assured of your safety – with additional signage, hand sanitiser stations and renewed street graphics among some of the measures in place. Our businesses cannot wait to see you back! We are kicking off spring in Tavistock with the annual ‘Paint the Town’ event beginning on April 10th. This year, with many people having faced extended periods of isolation, the event involves the wider community as well as schools. Working with West Devon Art Workshops, some of the displays will incorporate light – signifying our hope that the worst is over and the town can re-open and thrive once more. We will be relaunching the Tavistock town app ‘Tavistock Local’ in the coming weeks. Along with the Visit Tavistock website, this will be an engaging source of useful information about the town and its businesses. If you haven’t downloaded it already, you can easily do so from Google Play and the Apple App Store. Don’t forget you can continue to support the high street by giving the gift of Tavistock – The Tavistock Gift Card. With over
28
50 places to spend it, this makes a great gift for any occasion throughout the year. You can purchase a card online at www. tavistockgiftcard.co.uk, or pick one up from Lawsons Tavistock, or load your own from any of the participating businesses.
