Defibrillator training – thank you for attending!

by Chloe 04/10/2019

written by Chloe

Thanks to everyone from Longdown and the surrounding villages who came to the Defibrillator Training run by South West Ambulance service last Thursday 26th September at Longdown Village Hall.

A group of around 40 local residents were given training on initial patient assessment, CPR and how to use the defibrillator itself. We were delighted by such a strong turnout with attendees coming from other local villages, including Christow, Ide and Kenn. Feedback from the attendees was that it was a very useful session, with some having had first hand experience of the need to use a defibrillator. The Parish Council thanks you for your support and interest in this important local service.

New Dog Mess Bin at Village Hall

by Chloe 28/08/2019

written by Chloe

Our village has a large dog owning community and for some time we have lacked a bin to dispose of dog waste. The Parish Council and the Village Hall Committee have jointly funded a new bin which has been installed just outside the village hall by the noticeboard. Please use this new village amenity instead of the bins directly outside the village hall.

Carbon Neutral Teignbridge Public Meeting on 4th July

by Chloe 23/06/2019

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

News Parish Council Village Hall

Enjoy our new Children’s Play Area

by Chloe 29/05/2019

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.

Before….
Old bark removed
