  • Proposed Schemes for 2018/19
    Proposed Schemes for 2018/19 Schemes in priority order and subject to funding. 20 mph zones outside schools An ongoing program of schemes will continue to be developed and presented for consideration by the Executive Lead and schemes identified for 2018/2019 will include: Primary/Junior Schools. Babbacombe Primary School, Torquay (Quinta Road may be suitable for treatment but not Reddenhill Road) Cockington Primary School, Torquay (Old Mill Road entrance – variable 20mph when lights flash) Secondary Schools Spiers College (formerly Westlands), Torquay As this programme begins to draw towards completion, it should be noted that the following schools are yet to be treated, however it should be noted that some of these cannot be treated and these have the reasons included below. Primary/Junior Schools Collaton St Mary, Paignton - Investigated 2016/17 but road too narrow to implement required signage, no option to improve. Furzeham, Brixham - Investigated 2016/17, traffic does not pass school entrance which is effectively in a cul-de-sac, the proposal is to investigate a possible variable 20mph scheme for Higher Furzeham Road, South Furzeham Road and Rope Walk. Galmpton, Brixham - Further discussions are required with Devon County Council due to the close proximity of the derestricted speed limit on the approach to the village. However, high levels of congestion lead to lower speeds at school times. This scheme may need to be included as part of a larger scheme which includes Churston Ferrers Grammar School. Kings Ash Infants, Nursery and Junior, Paignton* - School crossing patrol may be deleted, traffic calmed therefore permanent 20mph limit could be considered.

  • Brixham Ward Boundary (Furzeham with Summercombe)
    Brixham Ward Boundary (Furzeham with Summercombe) Brixham for such a historic town appears to have been ill treated with regard to its civil boundaries in recent years. Originally, Brixham was a large ecclesiastical parish1 covering the town of Brixham and bounded by the River Dart and Churston Ferrers parish. With the formation of Torbay, a significant part of what was once Brixham has been lost to South Hams, particularly that part to the south and west of Kennels Road (A379), Kingswear Road, and Gattery Lane/Challeycroft Road. However, this still leaves the larger part of the old ecclesiastical parish within Torbay. I would make three points: Seaward boundaries First, for reasons which I cannot fathom, Torbay has chosen to extend their ward boundaries seawards. Given that Brixham is the biggest grossing fishing port in England, one would expect to see the Brixham ward boundaries extended seawards from the town. However, the Churston with Galmpton ward completely encloses the sea around Brixham. Further Brixham Outer Harbour would appear to lie within the bounds of the Churston and Galmpton ward. Consequently, a recent proposal for a new jetty in Brixham Outer Harbour would not be a matter for Brixham but for Churston and Galmpton. This seems totally nonsensical. Boundary between Furzeham with Summercombe and the Churston with Galmpton wards Second, there is a question then as to what the boundary, particularly the western one for Brixham should be. In my view, the determinand should be the boundary of the ecclesiastical parish for Brixham. The current proposals from Torbay for the Brixham ward of Furzeham with Summercombe show the boundary to the north of the A3022 (the main road into Brixham) is more or less where it should be given the boundaries between the Churston Ferrers and Brixham ecclesiastical parishes (although probably one or two small fields close and to the north of the main road which should be in Brixham are excluded).

  • The Devon Trafalgar Roll
    THE DEVON TRAFALGAR ROLL Extracted from the Ayshford Complete Trafalgar Roll with the kind permission of Pamela and Derek Ayshford. Further details are available at www.ageofnelson.org/ Presented by the Exeter Flotilla on the occasion of the Trafalgar Day Service held on the bicentenary of the battle. INTRODUCTION TO THE DEVON TRAFALGAR ROLL On the 19th October 1805 the combined fleet of France and Spain was observed to be sailing from Cadiz. News that the enemy fleet was at sea was relayed to the Commander in Chief of the British fleet, Vice Admiral Lord Nelson, and to intercept it his fleet sailed for the Straits of Gibraltar. On the eve of battle Nelson prayed: - May the great God, whom I worship, grant my country, and for the benefit of Europe in general a great and glorious victory; and may no misconduct in anyone tarnish it; and may humanity after victory be the predominant feature in the British Fleet. For myself, individually, I commit my life to him that made me, and may his blessings alight my endeavours for serving my Country faithfully. To him I resign myself and the just cause which is entrusted me to defend. Amen. Amen. Amen. When the fleets met off Cape Trafalgar on the morning of the 21st the British formed two columns and, in light westerly airs, set an easterly course to close. The van was led by Nelson’s flagship HMS Victory and the rear column by Vice Admiral Lord Collingwood’s flagship HMS Royal Sovereign. The combined fleet of 33 sail of the line, commanded by Admiral Villeneuve in Bucentaure, wore round and reached back to the north.
