    Bridestowe & Sourton Extra Community News and (Events!) May 2020 Edition 216 This delightful rainbow made of artificial flowers was created by Rachel Dewsbery to make us smile. It can be seen outside the Old Saw Mill in Rectory Road. A big thank you to Alder for printing the front page in colour for us. What are the current rules when it comes to exercise in the UK during the Covid-19 crisis? The National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) and the The Vicar writes pages 2 & 7 College of Policing have published a document that clarifies the do’s and don’ts of exercising outdoors. 1. Daily exercise, including walking, running, Howard Barkell pages 10-11 and 15 cycling, tending to an allotment or doing yoga is allowed. 2. You are allowed to drive somewhere to take your exercise. The guidance says, ‘it is lawful to Movie Watch pages 17-18 drive for exercise.’ However, ‘Driving for a prolonged period with only brief exercise’ is also deemed ‘not likely to be reasonable’. The rule of thumb? You’re allowed to drive somewhere to go for a walk or run as long as you spend much more time walking than you do driving. 3. Exercising more than once per day is likely to be allowed if you have a ‘reasonable excuse’ for needing to leave your home. 4. You are allowed to sit and take a break from exercise, say, on a bench or sitting down in a park. However, this must be for a short time only and, as before, you must spend markedly more time exercising than resting.

  • DC14-‐075 February 25, 2014 for Immediate Release
    Connecting Devon and Somerset DC14-075 February 25, 2014 For immediate release CONNECTING DEVON AND SOMERSET ANNOUNCES SUPERFAST BROADBAND FOR 25 COMMUNITIES Following last month’s announcement on exchange areas, CDS confirms the communities to benefit from high-speed fibre broadband Connecting Devon and Somerset (CDS) today confirmed the next 25 communities to benefit from the £94 million programme to bring superfast broadband to rural areas. Last month, the programme announced that it would make high-speed fibre broadband available to 70,000 homes and businesses by the end of July and revealed the names of the latest exchange areas to be included in the CDS roll-out plans. Now it has been able to go one step further and pinpoint the actual communities within those exchange areas, which will benefit. In Devon, they include Ashford, Landkey, Heanton Punchardon, Braunton, Morthoe, Swimbridge, Burlescombe, Feniton, Ottery St Mary, Dunkeswell, Membury, Honiton, Newton Abbot, Ashburton, Ilsington, Kingskerswell, Bovey Tracey and Belstone. In Somerset, the programme will roll-out to Horton, Barrington, Ilminster, Broadway, Dowlish Wake , Kingstone, and Wellington*. Today’s announcement comes as a result of the detailed survey work that is critical in determining how the roll-out plan takes shape through the life of the programme. The new locations follow 19 exchange areas** where the partnership has already made fibre available and a further seven areas*** which are due to ‘go live’ by the end of March – see Notes to EDitors For Further Details oF these locations. The programme has updated the interactive map on the CDS website, www.connectingdevonandsomerset.co.uk, to reflect this latest announcement.
