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.

Station road improvements start 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. 
There is a defibrillator on the outside wall of the village hall. If you are with someone having a heart attack you must phone 999. They may suggest someone gets the defibrillator and will give you the code. The instructions in it are self-explanatory.

SP Community Land Trust
A steering committee has started meeting to plan how to progress getting some affordable rental housing built in the village. The village needs 10 to 12 homes, and we are currently looking for a suitable site for them. For more information see: http://www.sampevclt.org/ |
HMRC scam calls
Some people in the village have received calls claiming to be from HMRC (tax office) threatening legal action. These are scam calls. HMRC would like to get the details to stop these calls.
