A major initiative is the commitment to produce Catchment Management Plans setting out the Authority’s vision for realising the potential of each local water environment. An important stage in the production of the plans is a period of public consultation. The NRA is keen to draw on the expertise and interest of the communities involved. The first plan for consultation in the South West is for the freshwater River Torridge Catchment. The NRA looks forward to receiving comments on the attached draft.

  • From the Mayor Great Torrington May Fair & Carnival 2013 Torrington
    From the Mayor Since my last diary entry, you now have a new Mayor Elect, Cllr H Martin whose investiture took place on 14 th May 2013, so this will be my last letter to you. I have many special memories of my time over the last 12 months as Mayor of this special town and a community that has a soul and a big heart. From performances at the Plough to the Jubilee celebrations and the party in the Pannier Market, the Chamber of Trade and the skating rink in the square together with all those invitations to share them with you. Thank you, it has been an amazing year. Our young people have inspired me and I am confident that the future of our town is in good hands. The recent Inside Out television programme prompted a survey of the town with regard to shops, jobs and the future work needed for regeneration of the creamery site as a place for leisure. The Junior School children of years 5 and 6 spent six weeks on this and were invited to present their findings to the Town Council Planning Committee. Well done to all of them for such a professional presentation. The Dream Kidz put on a wonderful performance at the Plough worthy of the X Factor. Streetz dance crew are to be congratulated on their continued success as they rise to fame far and wide. The last couple of months have been spent on May Fair and Carnival preparations which is all made possible by the May Fair Committee working throughout the year.

  • May 2013 at 7Pm
    Hello from the Mayor Since last writing to you I have attended various events. On Saturday, 16th March I spent the morning with Bideford Town Council to celebrate the age-old Manor Court ceremony. This is where members of the public ask questions of the Council, in the manner of a jury, about making improvements around the Town. There was also an interesting talk given about the local pottery. That same evening I attended a celebration of St Patrick’s Day at the Plough with Big Al and his band playing Irish folk tunes. Some visitors from France, along with their delightful children, danced around with adults in Leprechaun costumes. It was a fun evening’s entertainment and was well supported, as Ann Tattersall’s events always are. Yet another of her successful fundraising events for my chosen charities this year, The North Devon Hospice and the Plough. On 27th March our children at the Junior School invited Cheryl and I to receive a presentation on the regeneration of our Town and their visions for the future. This was the result of their viewing the recent Inside Out programme. They spent many weeks interviewing towns people in the square, visiting local shops and they also visited the old creamery site at the bottom of Mill Street. I was so impressed by the way it had been conducted. Some of their poems have been on display in the Plough. Their presentation was so well written that I decided their efforts should be recognized by a wider circle. I have therefore asked them to come along to a meeting of the Planning Committee of the Town Council, to present their findings to us in person.

  • Monkleigh Parish Council
    Monkleigh Parish Council Minutes of the Parish Council Meeting held on 21st May 2014 at 7:30pm in Monkleigh Village Hall KEY: Actions are shown in bold blue type Decisions are shown in bold red type Councillors Present: Helen Gilbert, Carol George, David Grigg, Julia Landolfi, Martin Read, Alan Tremelling and Di Williams. Clerk: Patrick Blosse Also in attendance: 3 parishioners and Cllr. Gaston Dezart (DCC) The Parish Council meeting was preceded by the Annual Parish Meeting: Chairman’s Address: Helen Gilbert welcomed all to the meeting and gave a brief resume of the Parish Council’s activities for the past year. It had been a difficult start to the year with the loss of the previous Chair and Vice-Chair and there had been some delay in pulling together the Council’s contribution to the Draft Local Plan. It had also been disappointing to hear that the work that had been done had been ignored by the District Council. Helen was pleased to see that more parishioners were attending council meetings and taking an interest in parish affairs. The introduction of an email distribution list for minutes and agendas had been well received. This is due to be followed by the introduction of a website in the coming year. The scheme to erect bus shelters in Monkleigh and Saltrens had not yet reached a satisfactory conclusion but Helen was looking forward to being able to fulfil David Sloman’s vision in the near future. There had been some frustration about the burnt property at 2 Council Cottages but a planning application had now been approved and the property is up for a sale so it is hoped that this will soon reach a satisfactory conclusion.

This has swelled the ranks to ten, the largest number in the history of the Society. Before this, it has been quite a while since any new addition to the committee and most of those already serving have done so for many years, often in the same capacity, with great dedication. Of these, there will inevitably be retirements sooner rather than later in the future, if for no other reason than knowing they can no longer do the job as well as they once did. It follows, therefore, that the need for fresh and younger blood is ever with us to back up the old'uns, gain valuable experience, offer new skills and keep our Society vibrant.
