Please see below information from Polden Planning.

My client, West of England Developments, is preparing a full planning application for new housing on land south of Lower Town. We have engaged in detailed pre-application discussions with MDDC, no planning application is yet submitted.

I have this morning booked Sampford Peverell Village Hall on 17th March 2-8pm for a face-to-face public consultation. The consultation event will include Polden Planning, West of England and project team members who will be on hand to answer any questions.

Ahead of the event and around 1st week in March, we will publish a website and publicise the event locally.

Also, if you have any recommendations about where to publicise to make sure that as many people know about the event as possible, I would be grateful please. We usually use Facebook, posters in the village. We have unfortunately just missed the 19th deadline for the parish magazine although I wondered if we would be able to get an advert/announcement on the village or parish website?

*Please note the Parish Council do not know any information regarding this and all questions should be directed to the company themselves. The Parish Council believe that sharing this information on the consultation would be benificial.

👴 As carers our lives are punctuated with many changes! 👩‍🦰

Some changes maybe welcome, but others will need some adjusting to and may lead to feelings of grief and grieving.

Why not join us on our online 'Looking at our feelings as carers' Carers Skills Workshop on Wednesday 18th March at 10am-12pm where we will:
- Look at pre-grief, grieving and adapting to change
- Discuss that grief isn't always about dying, it also occurs when life changes - both expected and unexpected.

To book your place email: workshops@devoncarers.org.uk
You must be registered with us to attend.

Dr Mason received a lovely gift from a patient today but, unfortunately, the patient’s name wasn’t with the gift.

She doesn’t wish to appear impolite or ungrateful so please do give us a ring and leave a message for her to let her know if it was you.

Thank you

We are having to shut our Bradninch branch and dispensary today as team members are unable to get to work safely.

Apologies for any inconvenience.
