Carbon Neutral Teignbridge Public Meeting on 4th July

by Chloe
written by Chloe

In April, Teignbridge District Council voted unanimously to declare a Climate Emergency for a Carbon Neutral Teignbridge by 2025. As a result a public meeting is being held on Thursday 4th July 7pm-9pm, Coombeshead Academy Theatre, Newton Abbot, TQ12 1PT. 

An action group representing different environmental organisations in Teignbridge have met up with TDC. We want to see how best the wider community can get involved in supporting the Council. This can range from directly feeding into their plans, to taking local or individual action on addressing the Climate Emergency. Everyone’s involvement is key to achieving this ambitious target.

Join Cllr Jackie Hook and other speakers to find out how we can work together. Please bring your ideas. All welcome! Light refreshments. Parking available. 

Book via Eventbrite: Teignbridge Climate Emergency Action Group , mailto: TeignbridgeCE@gmail.com or find the event on our Facebook page: Teignbridge Climate Emergency Action Group

Enjoy our new Children’s Play Area

Enjoy our new Children’s Play Area

by Chloe
written by Chloe

After many months of behind the scenes work, the Parish Council are delighted to update the local residents that the children’s play area by the Village Hall has been resurfaced. On the 22 May contractors came to remove the old wood bark surface, replacing it with high quality bonded rubber mulch around the slide, the climbing area and see-saw.

The play area is now ready for the younger residents of the village and surrounding area to enjoy for years to come. The makeover is also well timed ahead of this year’s village fete taking place at the Village Hall on Saturday 29 June. 

Special thanks are extended to members of the Parish Council and their families for helping to prepare and repair parts of the existing structure ahead of the resurfacing work.
