25. DANGEROUS TREES ON THE LANE TO PENLEE FARM
I re-visited the lane with our contractor, Paul Greenhill, yesterday afternoon. He was satisfied that there were no trees of concern along it. I will ensure that the lane is added to our regular ‘Roadside Tree Survey’ so that any change in the status of the trees will be noticed in good time and appropriate action taken.
Whilst on site we noticed a dead pine which is within the boundary of the cemetery further down the lane towards Penlee farm. Whilst this is not on Duchy land, I just wanted to flag it up in case you weren’t aware. It would be worth taking the tree down before it falls down. Also, for your information, there are a number of low hanging boughs within the cemetery itself which it would be worth cutting back now before they get out of hand.
Best wishes,
Sarah

21. Waste Team & Mail Preference Service
Please can you help? Here in the Waste Team we are very keen to reduce the amount of unnecessary junk mail that hits Devon's doormats (around 50,000 tonnes a year!). We currently have some ‘Say No! to Junk Mail’ material that has been produced in collaboration with the Mailing Preference Service. We are looking at ways to distribute this material to the public and have identified Town and Parish Councils as a good opportunity to do so. This material is made up of the following: 1. Leaflets: with attached freepost card, to help the public easily find out and sign up to the Mailing Preference Service. This service can remove your name from up to 95% of Direct Mail lists and is supported by the Royal Mail (see attached). The card also covers other helpful services such as the Telephone Preference Service, to help stop unwanted UK calls and the Email Preference Service, to stop unwanted emails. 2. Letterbox stickers: that will help residents to tailor their mail (see attached). Both the leaflets and stickers are displayed in a free-standing plastic holder (which is supplied). Please see image attached. This holder and postcards/stickers would be at no cost to your Town/Parish. These holders are currently displayed in Devon’s libraries and Learn Devon Centres across the county. If this is something you would be interested in then please let me know by responding to this email, we can then look at sending you postcards, letterbox stickers and holders. This will be an ongoing project so we can supply you with more stickers and leaflets when you require (there is a contact email to order more postcards/stickers on the back of the holder). Overall this scheme will help the whole community fight back against unwanted mail and can help save 4kg of waste per person per year! Yours sincerely, Jennifer Wellington Apprentice Clerical Assistant |

16. Bellever Close Flooding - Update from Ton Stratton - 21 Aug 15
A note to confirm that I met with Highways this morning and on this particular occasion, they are happy for us to arrange the connection of the surface water drainage pipe at the rear of Lords car park into the highway drain on the Duchy’s land to the rear of the Post Office. It is considered that there is sufficient capacity in the system to cope with the water.
I have instructed Cann Bros to do the work and thereafter, resurface the road. A larger gulley will be installed close to the junction between the Duchy owned section of road and Bellever Close itself to ensure any surface water is directed into the drainage system, without flowing out into the Close.

14. The monthly newsletter from Police and Crime Commissioner Tony Hogg
New Government funding proposals would be a 'catastrophe' for Devon and Cornwall. Home Secretary, Theresa May, is currently consulting on the formula used to decide how much funding each police force gets - at the moment Devon and Cornwall receives £12million less than the average police force in England and Wales. But we fear the Government's new proposals will exacerbate the problem - further widening the gap between rural and metropolitan areas. Our team has analysed the proposals and it looks like we miss out on a further £11million, and that could mean a loss of 200 police officers. This news gives greater importance to our Fair Funding campaign. We have collected over 5,600 signatures for our petition. Thank you if you have already shown your support and signed it. If not, you can sign it here. http://www.devonandcornwall-pcc.gov.uk/take-part/fair-funding-petition/
Tony Hogg says the latest police performance figures highlight the need for fairer funding. Read more.

11. Local residents to receive important voter registration information
Households in the West Devon Council area will soon be receiving a form asking residents to check whether the information that appears on the electoral register for those living at their address is correct as part of the annual voter registration canvass. The aim of the form is to ensure that the electoral register is up to date and to identify any residents who are not registered so that they can be encouraged to do so.
Steve Jorden, Electoral Registration Officer at West Devon Borough Council said:
“Anyone wishing to vote must be registered. To make sure you can have your say in a referendum or vote in an election, check the form when it arrives. Make sure that everyone who is eligible is included.
“You can fill in the form online using the security codes pre-printed on the form or send it back in the prepaid envelope. The information you provide will enable us to send a registration form to anyone who needs to be added or they can go online at www.gov.uk/register-to-vote.
“It’s particularly important that anyone who has moved address recently looks out for the form and checks whether they are registered. It is a brown envelope addressed ‘to the occupier’. Please make sure that you provide the information either online or by post or you could be fined £1000”
With the Police and Crime Commissioner elections taking place across the Devon and Cornwall Police Area in May 2016 and the possibility of a referendum being held during the lifetime of the register, this is an opportunity for residents to make sure that when the elections take place they will easily be able to take part.
If you would like more information or would like to be removed from the Open Register then visit www.westdevon.gov.uk/hef or call the helpline on 01822 813604.

8. Cutting DNPA Grass by the Visitors Centre
Thank you for your email – yes, I think we may be interested in your offer of cutting the front panel from next year. I am on holiday from later this week so will contact you during September to confirm.
Would you also be able to give an idea of cost for cutting the rest of the car park? I know we discussed this some time ago when you went out to tender.
There may be issues here in terms of our procurement policy / tendering, which we would have to work through, but to have an idea on cost as a starting point would be helpful. It will be something I would need to take to management team as it would need to be budgeted for, and as I’m sure you are acutely aware, our budgets / resources are likely to be reduced further in the Government’s next spending review.
I am also aware I haven’t come back to you regarding the closing of the car park issue, perhaps I pick this up with you in September as well?
Kind regards

The changes affecting your District area are listed below. I have not attached revised timetables so as not to unduly overload your in-box. Timetables will be included in a new edition of the area timetable books being published shortly.

1. Tavistock and District Local Economic Blueprint
We would like to thank you for your interest in the Tavistock and District Local Economic Blueprint. This has only been possible through people sharing ideas and information about how we can meet more of our needs through local supply chains. We are now able to publish the first part of our report, which focuses on food and drink.
Food choices affect our health, environment and economy. In our study area there are hundreds of food businesses, from farms to restaurants, providing around 3000 jobs. We estimate over £80m a year is spent on food and drink by people living in or visiting the Tavistock area. Despite our heritage of food production, most of this now goes to large companies with national and international rather than regional or local supply chains. A marginal shift in the overall pattern could therefore retain significant funds in the local economy.
A pdf of the report is attached. It will also work as a slide show. If you would like to share it with others, or link to it from your own website, it can be found online at http://www.transitiontavistock.org.uk/working-groups/tavistock-and-district-local-economic-blueprint . If you have any questions about the content we will do our best to answer them.
The full Blueprint, which will also cover how we produce and use energy, will be published in early autumn. We anticipate holding an event open to the public to celebrate publication of the report at the end of October. In the meantime we are holding a smaller stakeholder launch on Monday September 14th 2015 at Kingdon House from 14:30 to 16:30. This is to thank you and invite you to consider the next steps. We look forward to seeing you if you’re available.
We hope you will find something in the recommendations or resources that you can take forward in your own work, or encourage others to pursue, and would be interested to hear what happens. We may also be able to assist with ideas (but not funds), if you want to invite a member of the project team to speak to your organisation.
Best wishes,
Kate … on behalf of the TAD-LEB team
