Major meetings this week include the Planning Committee, TDC Special Council Meeting and at the DNPA a meeting regarding the Development Management Delivery Planning Document and a Development Control Site Visit.
This week saw both the Full Council meetings of Ashburton Town Council and Buckfastleigh Town Councils. At both Insp. Dave Hammond addressed the meetings about the changes to Policing brought about by the strategic spending review. Both meetings were attended by residents, and if you haven't been to either meeting (depending on whether you live in Ashburton or Buckfastleigh) go along and watch your local Councillors in action. Both Councils have a public participation period for residents to ask questions or comment to the Council.
Together with many of the Dartmoor Park Parishes, and their elected DNPA Members I attended the DNPA Parishes Planning Workshop. A very interesting and useful session on planning within our National Park. The DNPA web site is the reference point for information on planning issues, or an email or phone call to the Officers at Parke is a good start.
..And Finally Saturday was Ashburton's Ale Tasting and Bread Weighing Annual Ceremony. The Portreeve and Master Bailiff accompanied by Members of the Courts Leet and Baron paraded through the Town to test the quality of the Ale and bread - much to the surprise of the passengers on the number 88.
