Parish Council Update

We are pleased to introduce Cllr Ms Hayley Morrell and Cllr Ben Girvin, who have recently been co-opted onto the Parish Council and will be working and representing Woodbury Salterton Ward with Cllr Simon Andrews. We wish them all the best in their new roles.

Flower Street car park

We are pleased that the car park resurfacing project has been completed. We have installed a height barrier, resurfaced and relined the car park, and added cycle stands. We would appreciate it if all users park within the bays only, and not on sides of the entrance nor in the no parking zone. Vehicles should not be in situ permanently. If there are any breaches, action will be taken as stated in our Parking Orders, which can be viewed on our website.

Street Furniture

We are working through our street furniture items across the parish, restoring and sprucing them up. Some will be removed temporarily for this work to be carried out.

Grass Cutting

We appreciated your understanding whilst a new contractor was found for our grass cutting across the parish. They will be cutting the grass every other week during the season. It will take a few cuts to have the grass back to a good standard and having the villages looking lovely once more.

Overgrown / Overhanging Foliage

Please can all property owners / tenants make sure that foliage does not overgrow across or overhang our pathways. We would appreciate it if this can be kept cut back to allow pedestrians to walk without any issues and also to allow drivers to have good visual splays at our junctions. Also it helps make our villages look well kept. Thank you for your co-operation.

Exton

Unfortunately, our Annual Play Ground Inspection raised concerns with the aerial runway and springer in the Exton play space, and we have had to isolate this equipment. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. During the July Full Council meeting, Parish Councillors resolved to fund and replace this equipment, which is very popular with our young people.

Exton Flooding

Exton Ward Parish Councillors have met with County Councillor Richard Scott, landowners and residents regarding the issues with flooding at Mill Lane, which we are trying to resolve. Also, the Parish Council is working with various parties regarding the issues of the flooding at the A376 / Station Road location.

Devon Resilience Innovation Project (DRIP)

Devon County Council is leading the DRIP Project which involves the community with a new flood resilience and innovation project.
