Alteration/Disruption to Bus Services

Alteration/Disruption to
Bus Services 165 & 167
Monday 23rd to Friday 27th November 2020
Due to the closure of the A384 for bridge repairs, from Monday 23rd until Friday 27th November, the peak hour journeys on service 165 will start from and finish at Broadhempston as normal, but will have to run via Marley Head so journey times may take longer and the service will be late running.
DCC has arranged a taxi to run the bus route from Broadhempston at 0922 to ensure this journey runs to time. It will connect with the bus at Dartington Hall. In the afternoons, it will connect with the service bus at Dartington Hall at 1350. This will be provided by Alansway Taxis.
You do not need to book the taxi in advance to use it and should wait at the bus stop for the vehicle to arrive.
Due to the bus running late from the previous trip, the 1725 service 167 will not operate.

Attention all poultry keepers

Avian influenza (bird flu)

Poultry and other captive birds

An Avian Influenza Prevention Zone (PDF, 39.1KB, 6 pages) (AIPZ) has been declared across the whole of England effective from 5pm on 11 November 2020.

All poultry keepers in England (whether they have commercial flocks or just a few birds in a backyard flock) are required by law to take a range of biosecurity precautions.

If you keep poultry (including gamebirds or pet birds) or other captive birds, you must act now to reduce the risk of disease in your flock by following the relevant biosecurity measures required within the AIPZ.  Your stock needs to be feed and watered under cover to prevent contamination from wild birds.

Good biosecurity improves the overall health and productivity of your flock by helping keep out poultry diseases such as avian influenza and limiting the spread of disease in an outbreak.

All bird gatherings within the AIPZ are prohibited therefore the general licence that had permitted bird gatherings has been revoked.

For more guidance please visit https://www.gov.uk/guidance/avian-influenza-bird-flu

If you find dead wild waterfowl (swans, geese or ducks) or other dead wild birds, such as gulls or birds of prey, you should report them to the Defra helpline (03459 33 55 77)

 

Public Health England advises that the risk to the public’s health is very low. Food Standards Agency (FSA) has said that on the basis of the current scientific evidence, avian influenzas pose a very low food safety risk for UK consumers

Avian influenza is unconnected with coronavirus (COVID-19).

Voluntary registration

You can choose to register fewer than 50 birds, or birds you keep as pets. The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) encourages you to register even if you do not have to by law.

By registering,

  • APHA will be able to contact you if there’s a disease outbreak (such as bird flu) in your area
  • you’ll help prevent the spread of disease and protect the national poultry flock

 

Thank you.

Councillor Vacancy on Staverton Parish Council

Councillor Vacancy on Staverton Parish Council

Are you inspired to get involved in your Parish Council to make a real difference at local level?

We are looking for a new Councillor by a process called co-option, which means that people may put themselves forward without going through a local election process.

Who can be a Parish Councillor?

You must be:

  • At least 18 and a British, Commonwealth or EU Citizen
  • On the electoral roll for the area, or have worked or occupied as owner or tenant, any land or premises in the district for at least a year

What does a Parish Councillor do?

At a basic level, attend monthly meetings (held on the first Wednesday of the month, alternating usually between Staverton and Landscove, where planning and community matters are discussed.  You can join a Working Group (like the Neighbourhood Plan, Finance or Climate Emergency), advocate for changes in our area by speaking to our District Councillor, look after our public spaces and allotments, and just generally seek to make this Parish continue to be a lovely place to live.

Interested?

Please send a brief paragraph about yourself and what you can bring to the role to the Clerk, Karen Smith, who can be contacted on clerk.stavertonpc@gmail.com

If you would like to have an informal chat about what it is like to be a Parish Councillor, then give one of the current Councillors a ring.  Contact details can be found at https://www.staverton.org/staverton-parish-council/parish-councillors/

Local Rotarians Support Vital Youth Work

LOCAL ROTARIANS SUPPORT VITAL YOUTH WORK

 

Totnes Rotarians have given their support to a local project which has been supporting young people through the pandemic. The Totnes Rural Area Youth Engagement (TRAYE) scheme was started in 2016 in response to the reduction in youth facilities provided by Devon County Council. There are now six local parishes involved: Totnes, Marldon, Staverton, Harberton, Rattery and Buckfastleigh.

 

Before the lockdown, the group was involved in outreach work engaging young people in rural areas by running youth clubs and group activities for 8 to 18-year olds as well as offering support for their health and well-being.

 

Nearly 400 young people are now linked to the project and youth worker Kerry McCabe told a virtual meeting of Totnes Rotarians how, during the lockdown, TRAYE had switched to online meetings to combat potential isolation .

 

Rotary President Alison Bull presented chair and founder of the project,  Totnes Mayor Jacqi Hodgson with a cheque for £500. The money will be shared by the individual parishes to continue the vital work of the project. Ian Bentlett, youth lead for Totnes Rotary said, “the next few months will continue to be challenging for young people and we are delighted to be able to provide our support to TRAYE”.
