Gittisham Parish Council is now on Twitter https://twitter.com/GittishamPC

With all the recent rain we’ve had, we thought it might be a good idea for the parish council to have a Twitter account to post information on flooding or road closures.

Anyone already on Twitter can also post info and keep parish residents up to date.  It could be a really useful tool for getting around.

If you’re not on Twitter, you can still email  and I’ll post it for you.

Happy tweeting!

The outline planning application for proposals to build up to 300 houses west of Hayne Lane is now available to view  on East Devon’s planning website.

This is a major proposal for the parish.  You can submit comments if you wish before 21st January 2014 by visiting the website http://planning.eastdevon.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=MXS8P0GH3A000

Or you could simply write to them.  A sample letter is here

 

 

 

Thanks to all who made this such a good event.  Especially Jayne Bramley and Sue Fallows who organised and ran the event.  There was a great atmosphere in the Hall and a lot of varied and interesting stalls.  Village exhibitors included Tim Oldham and Paula Madden; Nicola Wakely and Roy Abbot and Ken Hopkins.  High quality from all.  Paula’s wreath making went down really well as did the cake stall.  Thanks to all who contributed cakes: it was a feast.  All in all £470 was raised for the play area.  Will this become an annual fixture ?

Devon County Council says that in response to requests, they will be changing the time of the late morning / lunchtime 4a bus from Honiton.

This will now be at 1157 instead of 1257, meaning it will pass through Gittisham village at 1208.

The change takes effect on Monday 9th September 2013.
