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. |
