  • River Teign Catchment Action Plan
    NRA 31 i RIVER TEIGN CATCHMENT ACTION PLAN NRA National Rivers Authority South West Region MAP OF NRA SW REGION SHOWING TARGET CATCHMENT 1. INTRODUCTION 2. ROUTINE SERVICES 3. CHALLENGES & PROPOSED ACTIONS APPENDIX 1 - CATCHMENT MAPS APPENDIX 2 - NRA DUTIES, POWERS AND TARGETS National Rivers Authority South West Region NRA Wessex Region NRA National Riven Authority South West Rvglon River Teign Teign River Catchment River Teign Catchment 1. INTRODUCTION CATCHMENT ACTION PLANS are designed to be a simple, practical means of directing resources to achieve environmental improvements on a priority basis, between and within catchments. They set out the essential routine tasks, and a five year programme of specific actions for each catchment to meet regional and national targets. Changes may occur where unplanned work such as an extreme drought requires priority. The NRA has inherited a legacy of environmental challenges arising from the use and abuse of our natural resources. Although significant progress has already been made it will be many years before all the work needed can be assessed, funded and carried out. To achieve the environmental objectives will require not just the clear, vigorous direction of the NRA towards priority work but the help and support of the whole community. The NRA has consulted with the Regional Advisory Board and Advisory Committees and the local interests about the draft action plans and the format is the outcome of those discussions. Progress to achieve the Action Plan objectives will normally be reviewed on an annual basis but more frequently where severe problems have been identified. 2. ROUTINE SERVICES Despite the fact that the NRA is largely a reactive, regulatory body it is possible to plan for much of the environmental protection work even the fact that unpredictable events will occur! Much of the routine workload such as monitoring, enforcement of statutes and dealing with pollution and flooding incidents needs to have clear priority to ensure that it is dealt with to satisfactory standards throughout the region.

    Membership No : Devon & Cornwall Chairman’s Message 2021 Dear Centre Members When I stepped back into the Chairman’s role for 2019/2020 I never expected for one minute we would experience a year like we have. It has been privilege and honour to take up this role once more. I am very proud of this centre and its achievements and I feel I have done my best this year to live up to standards previously set by former Chairpersons and you the membership. This year has seen our lives completely turned upside down with the Coronavirus and our thoughts must go to all those that have lost friends and family to this Virus. My sincere thanks must go to my officers and committee in the way that we have dealt with all the restrictions that have been applied to the centre due the Coronavirus. We did have some rallies at the beginning of the year before Coronavirus Lock down was imposed which were very enjoyable and enjoyed by all who attended them. We did have rallies in the Autumn following the lifting of Covid-19 Restriction. My thanks must go to the Stewards and Assistants for giving up their time and running these rallies on our behalf under these conditions. A special thanks must go to this year’s officers and committee who have all worked extremely hard on your behalf over the last year. Thank you. All have agreed to stand again this year and work with me over the next year. We have places available on committee and we would welcome any one who would like to get involved with the centre committee.

Internal SSR/BB/79/3 SOUTH WEST WATER AUTHORITY DIRECTORATE OF RESOURCE PLANNING SCIENTIFIC SERVICES Biological survey of the River Teign and tributaries, with reference to the effect of Ball Clay discharges, October 1978. PREPARED BY: M.D. Mold TO: Chief Scientific Officer DATE: March 1979. SUMMARY A survey of the macroinvertebrate riffle fauna in the Ball Clay mining area of the Bovey Basin, following a period of low rainfall, indicated that the River Bovey and the River Teign between Chudleigh and Teign Bridge, Newton Abbot were of good quality. Further downstream, the R. Teign and the lower reaches of the Ugbrooke Stream were identified as being of doubtful quality with the discharge from ECC Broadway continuing to give cause for concern. RECOMMENDATIONS 1. The polluted condition of the Ugbrooke Stream and the R.Teign below Lower Marsh Quarry, even after a peridd of low rainfall, should be noted. 2. The effect of increased solids loadings on the invertebrate fauna should be assessed in a future survey following a protracted period of heavy rain.

  • Chudleigh Benefice Profile
    The Benefice of Chudleigh, Chudleigh Knighton & Trusham St Martin & St Mary, Chudleigh St Paul’s, Chudleigh Knighton St Michael the Archangel, Trusham PROFILE 1 The Benefice of Chudleigh, Chudleigh Knighton & Trusham Archdeacon’s Foreword The parishes of Chudleigh and Chudleigh Knighton are a few minutes outside the cathedral city of Exeter, on the way to Dartmoor and the South Devon coast; Trusham is adjacent in a beautiful rural corner of the Teign Valley. The current vacancy at Chudleigh is only the second in fifty years, which is a tribute not only to its warmth and friendliness as a place to live, but also to the positive atmosphere and energy of church life there. The potential for mission in the benefice with its growing population is considerable, and the next incumbent will be able to build on strong foundations laid by his or her predecessors. Chudleigh church is broadly open evangelical in its tradition, very much the parish church of a historic small market town with increasing areas of new housing and a relatively wide age range among the population. The smaller churches of Trusham and Chudleigh Knighton have an important place at the heart of their respective parishes. The two flourishing Church of England primary schools at Chudleigh and Chudleigh Knighton were rated as Outstanding church schools at their latest SIAMS inspections, thanks in part to the commitment of local ordained and lay ministry teams to their Christian worship and ethos. Maintaining and developing this fruitful relationship with the two schools, in the context of the Church of England’s ‘Growing Faith’ initiative with its emphasis on partnership between local churches, schools and households, will be a priority for the new incumbent.
