SHEBBEAR AMONGST BEST IN UK

Winkleigh made headline news this week for being the best place in the UK to bring up a family. Perhaps lost in the coverage was that Shebbear came in at a very creditable 6th place. The village hall and the community school is picked out for particular praise. Well done to all concerned.

BONFIRES & BBQs

The National Society for Clean Air offers us some invaluable information on this. More details...

SPPG NOTICE

The application by Shebbear College for a wind turbine has been withdrawn although it is understood that this decision will be reconsidered by the Governors at their next meeting; as such, it is possible that some future application may be made.

The next anticipated application for a wind turbine is at Alscott farm; they have already put in a Screening Application to Torridge District Council for a mammoth 332ft (101m) turbine – that’s just six feet short of those at Fullabrook, which are causing such distress and heartache to local residents. The Shebbear and Parishes Protection Group (SPPG) is committed to fighting the application as this industrial sized machine will dominate our essential rural area and is completely inappropriate.

SPPG would like to thank all those who are supporting our work and are very keen to welcome new members. If you’d like to know more, please contact Pam Mawby on 01409 281161.
