Problem
Rubbish
At the Parish Council meeting on the 6th April, it was reported that there
were several instances where rubbish bags had been torn open by dogs or wild
animals and the contents strewn across the countryside. The Parish
Council request that all residents either place their rubbish in a secure
container overnight or delay putting their rubbish out until the morning of
collection. Thank you

Re concerns over
Recent road maintenance in Welcombe
Howard says:-
" I really don’t know what to think about the situation regarding
the repairs done to our roads recently. I have had so many emails about this
and people obviously want to do something about it, but DCC appear to be completely
intransigent. When I first asked for comments I did not realise that the Parish
Council had already quite forcefully opposed the work, or that our local councillors
had already been involved to no avail. We appear to have done everything we
can short of either a petition, approaching our MP or entering into lengthy
legalistic correspondence with an authority which is probably better at that
than we are.
If anyone wants to take up the cudgel and take this further via any of those routes (or any other) I am happy to pass on everything I have got and will gladly add my name to any petition etc (as long as it’s legal!), but I feel ill-equipped in both time and knowledge to make a good job of organising it. Our roads are still dangerous, and the work done is ill thought-out and not actually done particularly well, especially with regard to keeping water-courses clear. Do we just leave it as it is and let time and tyres do their work? I don’t know, but if anyone still has strong feelings and would like to organise the next step, please let me know.
