The sun is shining at last and it's lovely to see signs of spring in the hedgerows. The daffodils are starting to flower and now primroses and celandines are appearing too.
Sadly however the litter is an ever growing problem! There are a few of us who pick up the litter where possible but it keeps on coming . As members of the Parish Council, we wondered whether anyone would be interested in joining a local litter picking group. This could be an opportunity to get together for a sociable walk and chat or to do it alone if you prefer. Maybe a chance to get to know your neighbours. We are happy to provide equipment as necessary.
If anyone's interested or has any ideas please message this page or contact Debby on 07813 047844 or email mollandmare@icloud.com
Thank you to Nigel Penfold for pointing out the following:
As from 1st October, it will be a legal requirement for everyone who keeps any sort of birds on their property to register them with DEFRA. This applies to chickens, ducks, birds of prey ... everything. Previously, if you kept fewer than 50, there was no requirement to register, but there is now no lower limit. Pet birds kept indoors are exempt. The registration process is quick. Details on the DEfRA website.
Do you work/train in construction or a trade? Maybe you're a home owner or heritage building enthusiast...?
If so, you should check out NDDC's new website northdevonheritageskills.co.uk
The Heritage Skills project, funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, seeks to address the heritage skills gap in North Devon and help protect the district's local historic buildings.
The aim is to support training and development of the skills needed to maintain the historic buildings and places of North Devon, where we live, work, learn and play. These buildings will go on for many years to come if we look after them well, with the right people, having the right skills, and using the right materials.
The website will host a directory of trades and service professionals, information for property owners, and links to skills and training opportunities; organisers will be hosting a range of course between October 2024 and March 2025.
