Frank Rosamond (Mid-DevonDC) Geoffrey Sworder (Dunkeswell PC) Graham Long (Upottery PC) Bruce Payne( Wellington w/out PC) Geoffrey Bass (Culmstock PC) Cllr. Andrew Moulding (DCC) D. Corden (Blackdown Support Group) Cllr. Paul Diviani (EDDC/DCC/Yarcombe) C. Fowler (Payhembury) Cllr Ray Radford (DCC) Clive McIntyre ( Kentisbeare) Roy Hare ( Culmstock PC) Linda Bennett ( Blackdown Hills AONB) John Barrow ( Dunkeswell PC) Kirsty Campbell ( DCC) Gill Beardsworth (BHPN Volunteer) 11 parishes represented Two part meeting: Part One: Cllr John Hart (Leader Devon CC) and Cllr John Osman (Leader Somerset CC) had agreed in September to attend this meeting and were briefed to address the unique cross border characteristics of the Network parishes. Questions were invited in advance of the meeting and those received were sent to both invitees. Cllr Osman withdrew due to an urgent issue arising, while also expressing concern at the level of detail in the questions he had received, however was able to send written replies (Questions and Somerset Answers attached). Welcome and Introduction Heather Stallard welcomed everyone to the meeting, and apologised for the unavoidable absence of Cllr Osman. She expressed disappointment at this, as many rural issues for the BHPN relate to both Counties and occasionally policies appear to diverge. The opportunity to speak with both Leaders in the same forum had been keenly anticipated. For the benefit of Cllr Hart she described the development of the BHPN over the last 4 years. Cllr John Hart took the floor and spoke of the measures taken by DCC to accommodate austerity cuts imposed since the 2011General Election, including a reduction in DCC staffing from 9,000 to 6,000 ( with further cuts envisaged to reduce central costs by another £1m). He related his approach to MPs in Whitehall, urging a review of the effect of deep cuts on provision of public services; he has gained the support of over 100 MPs on this. Devon faces the prospect of having to halve the mobile library provision, cutting the number of Children’s Centres, reducing provision of care for the elderly, respite care to relieve family carers and subsidies for rural bus services (he urges everyone to use buses whenever they can in order to prevent service cuts). He suggested that devolution of decision making to local level is not yet apparent ( ‘Localism’). Highway maintenance is a deeply worrying issue in Devon, with more than 8,000 miles of county roads. He provided his resumé of the ‘Tough Choices, Devon’s Challenges’ faced by DCC (copy attached). QUESTIONS: • High Speed Broad Band (questions and answer attached), expressing concern at the apparent by-passing of many exchanges in the Blackdowns Hills, while any public enquiry into this is blocked by an NDA between the Counties and BT who are contracted to supply high speed BB to 90% of the population using £94m from Govt of which £53m is from the public purse. Cllr Hart explained that the written answer from Cllr Osman to this series of questions was supplied by the two leaders’ common adviser ( from Connecting Devon & Somerset?). In addition he commented that Devon County has to take a cross County view, BHPN contd as an example, considering the benefit in lowest income areas such as Torridge, N Devon and Exeter (lowest p.c. incomes in the County). N Devon exchanges are in a similar situation to the Blackdown Hills with no specific dates for High Speed BB extent. The questioner was invited to write directly with any further detailed requests / comments to Cllr Hart who will ensure that questions are answered so far as is possible. • Highways: A question was supplied in advance by Ken Pearson (Chair of the Traffic Transport and Highways Action group of the BHPN), asking how the County Highways groups can work together in the area to address the many issues of traffic volume, speed, size, satnav misdirection, noise, safety etc. Answer supplied by Somerset is attached. Cllr Hart referred to the latest decisions at County level which will ensure that maintenance is ongoing on A & B roads to retain the current level of repair and which serve the maJority of the population. Other roads will be serviced to a standard that will comply with basic safety needs only. Anyone may report road repair issues via the county website, these comments will be addressed in line with the Highways policy. • John Barrow (Dunkeswell) commented that there is considerable evidence and dissatisfaction with the quality of work being done on Devon County roads, particularly the commonly used tar and gravel-sticking solution to resurfacing which is frequently inadequate and insubstantial. Other comments indicated that there was considerable over-manning of works at some sites, could this not be arranged more efficiently? Cllr Hart accepted the points and will look into this. • Roy Hare (Culmstock) questioned the wisdom of using Just one month’s worth of bus usage on any route to inform decisions on service revisions. Cllr Hart suggested that if a service is used at a level where the cost to the Council is £11/ passenger / ride over the course of a month, then there is little sense in maintaining that service. • A general comment from several contributors from the floor indicated that letters and emails to specific officers in both counties frequently go unanswered, whether from individuals, Parish Clerks or written on behalf of organisations. Cllr Hart suggested that he is copied to all correspondence to DCC officers in future. Part One session ended at 8.30 pm, Cllr Hart was thanked for his time and contribution on behalf of the Network by Heather Stallard. Part Two: 1. Minutes of the last meeting on 24 th May 2013 (AGM) There being no amendments, the AGM Minutes were agreed as a true record of the AGM. Proposed by Margaret Lee, seconded Graham Long. 2. Matters arising Matters arising were taken within the agenda . 3. Financial Report: Treasurer /Co-ordinator Catherine Bass The Bank balance at the end of last financial year end was £2019.31. The annual account to date was presented to the meeting (attached). Bank Balance £2,878.29, in-year income of £1,880, and outgoings of £1,138.79. A mid-year report has been supplied to TDBC detailing costs attributable to website targets set for the Voluntary and Community organisation grant of £1,000 awarded in April 2013 (attributed expenditure standing at £468.40). 4. Reports from Action Groups ( received and distributed as written reports) 2 BHPN contd a. Communications Action Group - Activity Report May to November 2013 (Catherine Bass) Several new website users have been trained at the website designer’s premises in Honiton, which completed the free training cycle available through the website set-up process. We received a generous grant of £1,000 from TDBC (Voluntary and Community Fund) Just before the last meeting which is assisting the further development of the website. We are able to pay for additional training for anyone who is prepared to take on responsibility for a particular section of the website. We have also run our own self help group; a very successful meeting took place in the summer when six people got together to work on loading information and learned a lot at the same time. We are fortunate to have a new volunteer recently, Gill Beardsworth, who is going to help populate the Community Facilities pages, the idea being that this will encourage more hires or lets of some of the excellent facilities available to the BH community and help to ensure continued success and upkeep of halls, playing fields, barbeques, marquees etc etc. Gill will be pleased to hear from anyone who would like to have information posted about any facilities or assets which are available for pubic hire (complete or take away one of the copies of her letter available here this evening if you have something to advertise, previously distributed to all Parish Clerks). The website is now used to make the various Network Groups’ meeting minutes available to all, we are hosting two sets of parish webpages, the Events Diary is finding increasing use, and once we have a functioning online bank account ( by the end of November we hope), then we shall be able to attract more paid advertising to help sustain the cost of running the website. b. Planning Action Group – Activity Report May to November 2013 (Lisa Turner) An attempt was made to arrange an initial meeting of this group in September, but it did not take place due to, surprisingly, a lack of interest. In the meantime, several of the East Devon Blackdown Hills parishes have expressed an interest in producing a neighbourhood plan, initiated by Dunkeswell PC, and potentially on a collaborative basis. Lisa Turner has met with planning officers at EDDC to determine how best the process can be supported – locally and across the district. A possible way forward is to produce a common set of background evidence and supporting information that each community could then use to incorporate into or inform their own individual plans. Parishes could then supplement these common areas with detailed matters tailored to their particular interests, and work to their own time scales. EDDC have agreed a new post specifically to support neighbourhood planning and are hoping to appoint in the new year.

  • The Devon Trafalgar Roll
    THE DEVON TRAFALGAR ROLL Extracted from the Ayshford Complete Trafalgar Roll with the kind permission of Pamela and Derek Ayshford. Further details are available at www.ageofnelson.org/ Presented by the Exeter Flotilla on the occasion of the Trafalgar Day Service held on the bicentenary of the battle. INTRODUCTION TO THE DEVON TRAFALGAR ROLL On the 19th October 1805 the combined fleet of France and Spain was observed to be sailing from Cadiz. News that the enemy fleet was at sea was relayed to the Commander in Chief of the British fleet, Vice Admiral Lord Nelson, and to intercept it his fleet sailed for the Straits of Gibraltar. On the eve of battle Nelson prayed: - May the great God, whom I worship, grant my country, and for the benefit of Europe in general a great and glorious victory; and may no misconduct in anyone tarnish it; and may humanity after victory be the predominant feature in the British Fleet. For myself, individually, I commit my life to him that made me, and may his blessings alight my endeavours for serving my Country faithfully. To him I resign myself and the just cause which is entrusted me to defend. Amen. Amen. Amen. When the fleets met off Cape Trafalgar on the morning of the 21st the British formed two columns and, in light westerly airs, set an easterly course to close. The van was led by Nelson’s flagship HMS Victory and the rear column by Vice Admiral Lord Collingwood’s flagship HMS Royal Sovereign. The combined fleet of 33 sail of the line, commanded by Admiral Villeneuve in Bucentaure, wore round and reached back to the north.

  • Civilian Evacuation to Devon in the Second World War
    VOLUME 2 OF 2 CIVILIAN EVACUATION TO DEVON IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR Submitted by S.J. HESS as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History, 2006 CHAPTER SEVEN The ‘slum mentality’ of the evacuee – the myth challenged This Chapter firstly assesses Devon’s pre-war school medical service. Discussion then focuses on four crucial health issues which became problematic during evacuation, namely dirty habits, pediculosis (head lice), enuresis (bedwetting) and skin infections. The development of hostels for evacuees deemed unsuitable for billeting on arrival is also discussed. These health issues generated much adverse publicity, particularly during the first evacuation wave, and led to the persistent myth that evacuees were dirty, ill-trained and that they introduced pediculosis and skin infections into reception areas. Local documentary archive material is used to examine Devon’s experience and support the argument that generalised and exaggerated adverse publicity fostered a false stereotype. The largest number of evacuee children came to Devon in 1940 at a time when medical checks were improved, both in evacuation and reception areas. In addition the County already had an established degree of pediculosis and skin infections before evacuation. No evidence of a public or official outcry has been found locally to compare with reports emanating from some reception areas, particularly those areas receiving children from northern evacuation areas such as Merseyside.1 This variance with the ‘received’ version of events highlights the importance of local research. 1 The percentage of Merseyside children suffering from pediculosis, who were evacuated to areas such as Herefordshire, Shropshire and Cheshire, was between 22-50% compared with children from London where the percentage ranged from 8-35%.

  • December 2019 - January 2020 Price 50P
    December 2019 - January 2020 Price 50p FOLLOW THE STAR Well, it’s happening already, and we still have some time to go. That Christmas thing! As soon as the pumpkins have gone, the novelty gifts appear, and I’m trying to think positively about it all. Soon everywhere you go you’ll hear the same music, a glorious mixture of the old (Hark the Herald), the seasonal (Deck the halls) and the popular, with the Pogues and Slade stealing the show, all competing for the top sing-a-long slots, as you queue up at the checkout. And I really, really, really don’t want to get fed up about it, because I think that the Christmas story is one of the best stories ever - when God became a human being and said to each one of us (before Mariah Carey had sung a note), ‘All I want for Christmas is YOU!’ So – come and join us - and “Follow the Star” - as we sing and worship throughout the Mission Community. The times, dates and venues are in the middle pages. And in the meantime, just to whet your appetite, put on your Christmas Jumper, and croon along with me! I’m dreaming of a white Christmas I’m dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know With stockings full of precious things Where treetops glisten and children listen That we bought last summer To hear sleigh bells in the snow Each one a stunner Don’t search in vain for diamond rings! I’m dreaming of a white Christmas There’s not a freezing church in sight I’m dreaming of a white Christmas With all heating working That just keeps going on and on.

    Proceedings of the Somersetshire Archceological and Natural History Society, 1882 , Part II. PAPERS, ETC. |tohp on Jlattt of tfa djuitntg Jauntem BY JAMES BRID&E DAVIDSON, M.A. mHE point at wliicli tlie county of Somerset touches Devon- •h shire on the extreme north-east is a place called Keats’ Mills, a tenement on the eastern bank of the small river Yarty, at a natural ford over the stream, and just below a fork where the two principal branches or feeders of the stream unite. Here the north-eastern angle of Yarcombe parish, in Devon, is met by the three Somerset parishes of Combe St. Nicholas, Buckland St. Mary, and Otterford. Of the two branches, the smaller rises immediately under the south-west angle of Neroche Castle, flowing south through the parish of Buck- land. The larger rivulet, coming down from a point in the Blackdown Hills further west, divides Buckland St. Mary from Otterford. The Yarty river, still flowing south, falls into the Devonshire Axe below Axminster. Its ancient name, AS arta, being in- flected in the genitive to AEartan, gave its name to the valley which the stream has helped to form—AEartaneumb. This, in Domesday, appears as Herticome, was afterwards varied to Yerticombe, and is now Yarcombe. Ne<w Series , Vol. Fill., 1882, Part II. A ) 2 Papers , &c. From Keats’ Mills tlie county boundary runs nearly due west over Brown Down, between Otterford on tbe north and Yarcombe on the south, till it reaches a ford on another river, the Otter, at a point where the south-western angle of Otterford parish, in Somerset, is bounded on the south, south-west, and west by the Devonshire parishes of Yarcombe, Upottery, and Church Stanton.
