It has been working hard to address the shortage of affordable housing within a predominantly rural area. The area covered by the project displays an extreme disparity between incomes and house prices which makes it hard for many to gain any secure footing within the housing market. The Rural Housing Project is designed to help promote and deliver affordable rural housing strategically across the project area and helps deliver Exmoor National Park housing policies within the park. This is being achieved by informing people about affordable rural housing, providing help and advice, carrying out research at a parish level to assess the affordable housing need and bringing together the community and various partners to help deliver housing where it is needed. One of the tasks for the project is to work with the Parish Council and the local community to assist them in carrying out a Housing Needs Survey in order to identify

Ian Davies 02-July-2017 CTC Swansea
Ian Davies 02-July-2017 CTC Swansea The Devon C2C, Ilfracombe to Plymouth ride. Swansea and West Wales CTC Member Group June 2017 The C2C (Coast to Coast ride) Ilfracombe to Plymouth had been on my agenda for some time, the difficulty however, was the problem of getting back to the start without having to cycle both ways. Using the rail option these days is a no go, without going into detail - it just cannot be relied upon to work if a number of cyclists are involved. To cut a long story short – the solution was found using a Devon cycle tour Company who could transport all riders and bikes back to the start point with a mini-bus and trailer. Major problem solved – now we were ready to get going. Ah! Another problem! No suitable/secure place to park vehicles at Ilfracombe. Ah but! Another solution – a former member of Swansea CTC now living in Barnstaple (Dale Hall) was joining us and had sufficient parking space at his home for our vehicles so a small amendment to the schedule and off we went: The Programme and Schedule: Day 1. We were eleven riders on this tour, high on adrenalin and coffee. On Tuesday 27-June-2017 early afternoon, we arrived at Dale’s home at Barnstaple. We gratefully and greedily accepted his hospitality, (hic!) In the late afternoon we started the tour, Barnstaple to Ilfracombe and back to Barnstaple. We had a good soaking on the way back – not in the plan! We did not dress for that! The week before we had a scorching week of soaring temperatures and Florida sunshine, now it was pay-back time! Ilfracombe’s attractive harbour is a suitable maritime location to start the tour, if you could get there but we couldn’t for the start but went there anyway en-route, we took some pictures and had a beer and snack.
