Police burglary warning (September)
Police in Mid Devon are appealing for information after a spate of burglaries this month. In each case, the break-ins have occurred at residential addresses during the day and tools have been used to gain entry. The offenders have then used bleach or other cleaning products to cover their tracks. On two occasions, a silver Skoda Octavia was present with two or three occupants, and a false number plate was used. Three burglaries occurred on Tuesday 8 September in Cullompton, Bradninch and Newton Poppleford, near Sidmouth. Another burglary occurred in Willand, near Cullompton, on Monday 7 September. Residents living in areas close to the M5 are reminded to ensure their homes are secure when going out and to report any suspicious activity to police. Anyone with any information is asked to contact police on 101 or via email at 101@dc.police.uk quoting crime reference CR/075196/20. |

The Greater Exeter Strategic Plan
The local authorities of East Devon, Exeter, Mid Devon, Teignbridge were working with Devon County Council to develop a plan for the whole area concerning homes, jobs, the environment etc., with a particular emphasis on finding places to build homes for those who work in Exeter. The GESP suggested building 2200 homes in Sampford Peverell. This was discussed by Mid Devon District Council on 26th August. Because East Devon had pulled out of the plan MDDC were advised that the GESP was no longer valid so they voted to work with neighbouring authorities to draw up a new plan, starting from scratch. |
The compost site
The village composting site on the road to the station is open Saturdays from 10 am until midday, and on Wednesdays from 6 pm to 7 pm. Due to the current coronavirus situation we request users co-operate by following a one at a time system. Please wait in your vehicle until the previous person has unloaded and left. A volunteer will be available to direct you but we regret that physical assistance will not be possible. To further assist us and to keep queuing to a minimum we ask that you spread larger amounts that you may have accrued during the closed period over several visits during the coming weeks. We look forward to seeing you! The composting team.
