And brilliant that it will have such a positive impact in massively reducing the Leisure Centre’s electricity bills. ]]> Fri, 04 Sep 2026 16:05:16 +0000 https://www.southhams.com/blog/general-news/discussions/review?id=2210 https://www.southhams.com/blog/general-news/discussions/review?id=2210 This below was the answer I've received from Devon highway in regards of the speed of cars in Rack Park Road travelling to Henacre road. I've also experienced 2 car crash at the bottom of Rack Park road and other parked car being hit from Henacre to rack park road and vice versa majority of this accident are reported on Facebook. They don't hold any records because the police won't be bother to log the accident as nobody is being injured. Results in our car being smashed but no records of it. "Thank you for your comments and I'm sorry to hear of the incidents you mention, including the one involving your cars. Rack Park Rd and the rest of the estate have quite narrow roads with many parked cars further restricting the width. In my opinion and in my experience this limits the speeds of most vehicles to below the posted speed limit. No doubt there will be a minority of drivers that drive without due care and attention but there is currently no proposal to reduce the limit. {Lisa - check that KTC haven't submitted a request for a 20} I have checked our accident record and, fortunately, there have been no recorded accidents anywhere on Rack Park Rd or the estate in the last five years. That being the case, there would be no justification for diverting much-needed resources from other more problematic sites. Residents' Parking or other restricted parking has from time to time been considered in Kingsbridge. However, because these restrictions involve extra enforcement, there would be additional resources required which would involve introducing pay&display parking locally to generate the funding. In the past this has not been acceptable to the local community so these types of parking restrictions have not been progressed. This is something that you might like to discuss with your local Town Council as any further consideration given to parking restrictions would be done on a town-wide basis rather than in any individual area. Similarly, your Town Council would need to be involved in any future discussions of applying to reduce the speed limit of your road. ]]> Mon, 24 Aug 2026 21:29:24 +0000 https://www.southhams.com/blog/general-news/discussions/review?id=2202 https://www.southhams.com/blog/general-news/discussions/review?id=2202 I agree with everything Cllr Dan Thomas has written in his letter. People were not given the opportunity for a democratic vote in deciding which council they would prefer to make decisions on their behalf and which impact on their lives and community in this dividing up of Devon. I can not see any tangible benefits for residents in so many areas and the cost to implement the division makes it seem a waste of money that could be used for more local decisions. If new PM Andy Burnham is serious about putting decisions more locally then I would urge him to listen to the voices against the plans and not force people to come under a different council just because it benefits two Devon cities rather than the majority of Devon rural residents who are extremely unhappy about this dividing up of Devon. ]]> Tue, 28 Jul 2026 09:56:21 +0000 https://www.southhams.com/blog/general-news/discussions/review?id=2187 https://www.southhams.com/blog/general-news/discussions/review?id=2187 I consider this vital. There's far too much pressure on young people to pass exams with high grades. Back in my days the 1950's we were encouraged to work and do as well as we could. There was not the pressure then I am relieved to say.I therefore thoroughly enjoyed school and student days. Aim High was our school moto. I did even if I didn't always achieve the highest grades and my tutors were always encouraging but there was never any pressure. ]]> Sat, 30 May 2026 09:56:56 +0000 https://www.southhams.com/blog/members-news/discussions/review?id=2184 https://www.southhams.com/blog/members-news/discussions/review?id=2184 How lovely! well done to you all. ]]> Fri, 22 May 2026 14:16:41 +0000 https://www.southhams.com/blog/general-news/discussions/review?id=2178 https://www.southhams.com/blog/general-news/discussions/review?id=2178 Fantastic operation for a most lucky extraodinary sailor.

Now she has a penalty charge as they say she only paid for one hour when there for three! Nothing says you lose the free hours if you simply top up to stay longer-lost the first appeal so simply won't shop there again-anyone else fallen foul like this? ]]> Sat, 07 Feb 2026 14:55:43 +0000 https://www.southhams.com/blog/general-news/discussions/review?id=2152 https://www.southhams.com/blog/general-news/discussions/review?id=2152 I drove into Erme parking last week and found it confusing and not at all clear that I can have two hours free. Car parking charging and restrictions does the retailers, library and cinema no good for their business. ]]> Mon, 02 Feb 2026 12:16:48 +0000 https://www.southhams.com/blog/general-news/discussions/review?id=2110 https://www.southhams.com/blog/general-news/discussions/review?id=2110 Congratulations on the well-deserved award!
