My Husband and I Run a Residential Park in Berrynarbor, a Small Village

Dear Ms Jackson North Devon My husband and I live on a residential park in Berrynarbor, a small village between Ilfracombe and Combe Martin on the north Devon northern coast. The park is for people over the age of 50, with the majority of residents being in their 60’s and 70’s. I am writing on behalf of some of our residents as we understand that there is a proposal to introduce a DAB radio service to cater for local radio including BBC Radio Devon. We believe that it is proposed that at some stage in the future to switch over to a fully digital service only, and to switch off FM. Some of our residents were extremely concerned that there might well be a repeat of the switchover to digital TV, which has left many with inferior TV reception, and others having to invest some of the little money they have on satellite TV equipment in order to watch the main channels. It has also been brought to my attention that the proposal appears to exclude all together the part of Devon that we live in, as well as most on the Bristol Channel coastline of Devon. This surely cannot be considered progress when thousands of people would be left with no local or regional radio service. If this is the case the residents on this park would strongly oppose the proposal to introduce a DAB service to north Devon if it means we would lose local services. We have already lost our local radio station when it closed down last year and moved to Exeter. This was a public service that the region had enjoyed for nearly 20 years and is sorely missed by many people. Why can’t we have a local radio station like most other parts of the country. We don’t want an inferior DAB service we would rather have local radio on FM because local radio is what the communities want and FM works fine. If it isn’t broken why try to mend it !!!

REPORT BY MRS S SQUIRE, PARISH CLERK, ON ATTENDANCE AT A MEETING ON THURSDAY, 20 AUGUST 2015 AT THE GUILDHALL, BARNSTAPLE ORGANISED BY BARNSTAPLE TOWN COUNCIL TO LOOK AT POSSIBLE WAYS OF MANAGING GRASS AND VERGE CUTTING DUE TO A REDUCTION IN THIS CARRIED OUT BY DEVON COUNTY COUNCIL. Mr Will Austin, Barnstaple Town Clerk introduced himself and said that the invitation to the Meeting had been extended to all Parish and Town Clerk’s in the North Devon Council area. Five Clerks were present, representing South Molton Town Council, Braunton Parish Council, Fremington Parish Council, Mr T Squire representing Atherington, Bishops Tawton, Bratton Fleming, East & West Buckland and Goodleigh Parish Councils and myself representing Ashford, Berrynarbor, Chulmleigh, East Worlington, Georgeham, Horwood Lovacott and Newton Tracey, Kentisbury & Trentishoe and Romansleigh Parish Councils. A Councillor from Ilfracombe and a Councillor from North Molton were also there. Mr Austin explained that DCC had agreed to hand over verge maintenance in Barnstaple to the Town Council. Barnstaple has a sponsorship scheme in place with DCC which allowed businesses, community groups and individuals to take on green and planted areas. The relevant Licence is obtained and no fee is charged. 21 areas are sponsored in this way, some of which have a sponsorship sign. In connection with the sign, I asked about planning permission which was acknowledged as necessary. Barnstaple Town Council organise this on behalf of the people who have sponsored the particular area as it would be advertising the company or group. Disposal of green waste was discussed at length. Mr Austin advised that North Devon Council charge £50 per van load of green waste to dispose of this which is the responsibility of DCC.

Ellen Wright, Nee Huxtable
Ellen Wright Ellen Wright, nee Huxtable This is the story of Ellen (nee Huxtable) Wright - a respectable farmer’s daughter who somehow stumbled into scandal, and managed to recover and end her life once again a respectable widow and mother. Tantalisingly we can only know the raw facts as we find them documented. We cannot know the motives or the temperaments or personal turmoil of the protagonists. For example, was Ellen’s fall from respectability encouraged by her husband, James Wright, or driven by her wilful personality? James Wright was born in Sandford, Mid-Devon in 20th September 18611, and baptised on 8th Janu- ary 18622, the youngest son of Robert and Eliza Susannah Wright. His father was a Master Machinist employing three men and three boys3. Wrights had been Blacksmiths in Sandford at least since 1800.4 Initially brothers Robert and James worked in partnership, but the brothers fell out, and in 1859 the partnership was dissolved. Robert’s brother James Wright started the West of England Iron Works, which was to become a very successful agricultural engineering business, winning prizes at agricultur- The Square, Sandford Village al shows around the country, and enjoying the patronage of royal customers5. Robert started the Bri- tannia Iron Works and seems to have been equally successful locally. Whatever bad feeling had split the partnership was exaggerated between the two brothers and their respective offspring by commer- cial rivalry between their two businesses.6,7 Eliza Susannah Wright (nee Parrett) was born in Stepney. Like several of her sisters she had been a schoolteacher before she married Robert.8 The firstborn son of Robert and Eliza, William, died in 1872, aged 189.
