While the South West had relatively low levels of coronavirus infection throughout the initial phases of the pandemic, this has now changed and Devon and Cornwall have recently had some of the highest rates in the country. While remaining restrictions on social contact and social distancing have been lifted and larger events allowed, some local authorities (Cornwall, Isles of Scilly, Devon, Plymouth and Torbay) have been designated 'enhanced response areas', implying targeted, additional support will be deployed for a defined period (5 weeks from Friday 27 August). Face coverings may no longer be mandatory, but are recommended in crowded and enclosed spaces and public transport. Meeting outdoors is safer and vastly reduces the risk of airborne transmission. Let fresh air in if you meet indoors. Steve Brown, Director of Public Health Devon urges everybody to continue to act carefully and remain cautious. Please regularly use the free NHS lateral flow/rapid antigen self-tests, which you can also pick up from South Brent Pharmacy - they are easy, quick and convenient, and the result is ready in 30 minutes; if you have symptoms, please isolate and take a PCR test which you can order free on line. If you are eligible and are not yet vaccinated please get a vaccine (see below) The government published its ‘COVID-19 Response: Autumn and Winter Plan 2021’ on 14 September- click here to download the full document.

Michael Read Clerk to the Council, Ashprington and Tuckenhay. 1 Local Government Boundary Commission for England Consultation Portal Page 1 of 2 South Hams District Personal Details: Name: Marilyn Small E-mail: Postcode: Bickleigh Parish Council Organisation Name: (Plymouth) Contains Ordnance Survey data © Crown copyright and database rights 2013. Map Features: Comment text: Bickleigh Parish Council is concerned that the proposal does not seem to take account of any future development, ie there is no recognition that there is a requirement for 500 houses in the South Hams area. There is an assumption that the housing will be within the Woolwell area and if housing does come about, then that development would be in Bickleigh and Cornwood Ward which would significantly aler the equality principle. The Parish Council accept that there are no firm applications for the development to take place in this area but discussions are on-going and it is understood that a planning application might be coming forward before the end of the year.

This information has been produced by the Dartmoor National Park Authority in conjunction with Dartmoor For All, and is designed to help and encourage those who are disabled, less mobile or have young children, to relax, unwind and enjoy the peace and quiet of the beautiful countryside in the Dartmoor area. This information will help you to make the right choices for your day out. Nearly half of Dartmoor is registered common land. Under the Dartmoor Commons Act 1985, a right of access was created for persons on foot or horseback. This right extends to those using wheelchairs, powered wheelchairs and mobility scooters, although one should be aware that the natural terrain and gradients may curb access in practice. Common land and other areas of 'access land' are marked on the Ordnance Survey (OS) map, Outdoor Leisure 28.

Julia was thanked at her last full council meeting in July. The Council also hosted a Thankyou party at which members and former colleagues presented her with a handsome glass vase engraved with the parish crest and the dates of her service. Parish Council Chairman, Cllr. Cathie Pannell, paid tribute to Julia's hard work and dedication over so many years. "She has been a real asset for the council and has helped our parish enormously with her skills and knowledge. She will be greatly missed." The Parish Council Mrs Julia Willoughby, Cllr. Cathie has now welcomed our new Clerk, Mrs Katharine Griffiths. Pannell (Chairman) & Mrs Katharine Griffiths South Brent Carnival 2019 After a very successful carnival week, the club has attended a further 7 carnivals so far, since the beginning of the carnival season on the 29th June. Our annual summer carnival was a great week with many successful events, and was enjoyed by many in the village. The weather was also on our side for the week, with many great days of weather. Each day throughout the week there was a different event, leading up to Saturday's grand carnival procession. The procession was the first Devon carnival of the season, and therefore was the first reveal of our 2019 float, entitled “sunshine after the rain.'' Many other carnival clubs and villagers took part in the procession, which made it a very good evening! The club has since been out all over south Devon each Saturday, taking part in many other carnivals, including Newton Abbot, Chudleigh, Kingsbridge, Paignton, Teignmouth, Bovey Tracey and Dawlish.
