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. There are great transport links: we are near the M5, and have Tiverton Parkway station within walking distance. For more information see the About us page.

The Book Swap is open!
It's in the red phone box in Lower Town, near the car park. Take or borrow any book you like, and bring another book that you think someone might enjoy. Happy Reading! Parish Council vacancies
We currently (29 Aug 18) have two vacancies on the council - see this vacancy notice 
Compost site open Saturday mornings and Wednesday evenings 6-7pm
You can take your garden waste to the composting site (on the road leading to the station) on Saturdays from 10 am to 12, and on Wednesdays from 6pm to 7pm. Please note, the July and August editions of the Parish News incorrectly have the Wednesday opening as 7pm to 8pm. This is wrong, it is only open from 6pm to 7pm. A361 Link Road resurfacing starts 3rd Sep
Resurfacing, involving carriage closures and some overnight complete closures, will last several months. The contractor will be in SP village hall from 2pm to 6pm on 14th August to explain more.

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 they will have to have a further discussion about it to confirm or reconsider the decision. No date has been set for this yet. For details of the plan enter 17/01359/MOUT as the reference here: https://planning.middevon.gov.uk/online-applications/ New date for the Local Plan Inspection
MDDC has announced that the local plan will be inspected on 20th and 21st September. The preliminary hearings will be held at Crystal Suite, Best Western Tiverton Hotel, Blundell’s Road, Tiverton, EX16 4DB, commencing at 10.00am on Thursday 20 September 2018. Further information can be found on the Council’s Local Plan Review Examination webpage. 
Station road improvements started 4th June!
Work will take about 16 weeks and there will be some disruption to traffic but it will be worth it. DCC will create a footpath from Lower Town down to the first station car park, with lighting all the way along. There will also be two new bus stops in Lower Town near the top of Station Road, and the 30mph speed limit will start at the mini roundabout on the edge of the village and will include all of Lower Town and Station Road. 
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. |
