Buckland Monachorum Parish Council
Yelverton Community Projects
Yelverton Play Park, managed by Yelverton Community Projects (YCP), is offering the opportunity to sponsor a bench in the play park. The current benches are reaching the end of their useful lives and we will be replacing them over the next year or so. If you would like a bench 'named' after a loved one or a child who has enjoyed playing in the park, please get in touch with Ric Cheadle on 01822 854710.
Buckland Monachorum Parish Council News
After a long campaign by the Parish Council, a new footpath helping to link Briar Tor with the forecourt at Yelverton has been built between the Methodist Church and the roundabout. Funded by a grant from Devon County Council and constructed by a local firm, hopefully this will help improve access for residents.
The Neighbourhood Plan has taken its next step towards approval and is now with West Devon Borough Council who will be responsible for arranging the referendum to determine whether residents of the parish wish to adopt it. A new website is being built so that anyone who wishes can access the plan - details will be posted on parish noticeboards when this is 'up and running'.
Are you recycling your food waste? Each year we dump (and pay for!) a huge amount of food waste in landfill, simply because it is not put in the grey bins and recycled. If you currently don't recycle food waste, please consider doing so to help the environment and help keep future council tax rises down.
The play park at Crapstone has two new picnic benches - organised by the Parish Council and funded both by the Parish Council and West Devon's Community Fund.
The Parish Council is often asked for information on the footpaths around the parish. Each of these footpaths is 'walked' by a parish councillor to report any necessary work which may need doing. If you would like to see exactly where these paths are, head to the Devon County Council link where you can view and download maps of the paths. (map.devon.gov.uk/dccviewer/MyLocalPaths)
