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.
News!
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 (14 Oct 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 Parish News incorrectly has the Wednesday opening as 7pm to 8pm. This is wrong, it is only open from 6pm to 7pm. |
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/ 
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. A361 Link Road resurfacing starts 3rd Sep
Resurfacing, involving carriage closures and some overnight complete closures, will last several months. For the latest information see www.A361.today |
