Neighbourhood Development Plan
Survey results can be downloaded from the Parish Council Page. Once adopted by TVBC, the council must follow the NDP in relation to any future developments in the parish.
Footpaths
With another lockdown upon us having the opportunity to get out into our local countryside has become even more important. There are issues within the village and we need to work together as a community to get them sorted as quickly as possible.
Stiles are no longer recommended and should be replaced if possible to allow better access for those with some kind of mobility impairment. Vegetation must be kept clear of paths and ways not obstructed.
We do all need to be clear on the lines of responsibility, duty and powers as many are not and that is part of the problem.
-
The County Council has the Duty to ensure that they are kept clear (not to actually do the work)
-
The Parish Copuncil has the power to ask for the work to be done and to get it done, if needed.
-
Users have responsibility to keep to footpaths and respect the environment but also the right to clear and go around obstructions, if needed.
