Sampford Peverell is a pretty village near Tiverton in Devon and is home to about 1300 people. The village has great facilities including two pubs, a shop-cum-Post Office, a farm shop, a doctor's surgery, a village hall, a primary school, a sports field, tennis courts, a Multi Use Games Area, and a fun Play Park. The Grand Western canal runs through the middle of the village, providing scenic views and easy walking and cycling routes.

Toilets in Play Park closed due to vandalism
On 24 Dec 2018 we received this information from MDDC: "Due to ongoing misuse and vandalism of the public convenience in Sampford Peverell (including a fire on Saturday just passed) they’ve been closed. The issues are being reported to the Police at 101 and a view will need to be taken in the New Year as to how this can be overcome. Apologies for taking this action but I’m sure you will understand the need." The Parish Council is in discussions with MDDC to see if we can get the toilets opened again, in a safe manner.

Compost site now closed until March 2019
The garden waste compost site in the road to the station is now closed until March 2019. Planning applications for extra housing in Sampford Peverell
An application from Placelands to build 60 houses between Higher Town and Turnpike was rejected by MDDC's planning committee on 11th July. This rejection means MDDC have asked for an Implications Report and will have to have a further discussion about it to confirm or reconsider the decision. This will take place on 6th March 2019. For details of the plan enter 17/01359/MOUT as the reference here: https://planning.middevon.gov.uk/online-applications/ The Local Plan, J27, and housing in Sampford Peverell
Further meetings following on from the Inspector's report will be held in February. The J27 and SP2 items will be discussed at 09.30 on 20th Feb in Phoenix House. See https://www.middevon.gov.uk/residents/planning-policy/local-plan-review-examination/ 
We now have 2 defibrillators in the village: on the outside wall of the Village Hall, Lower Town and in the Sports Pavilion, Whitnage Road.
If you are with someone having a heart attack you must phone 999. They may suggest that someone gets a defibrillator and will give you the code. The instructions in it are self-explanatory. |
