REUSABLE SEAGULL SACKS
Properties which are unsuitable for wheelie bins, receive a weekly sack collection.
If you currently have a bin at your property, you are not eligible for this service.
Reusable seagull sacks are free and can be obtained from the Ferry Office or can be ordered from the SHDC Website:
Order a seagull proof sack.
How your waste collection service works
- Refuse sacks are placed inside your seagull sack and collected weekly
- Blue and clear sacks are collected fortnightly. Please do not place your recycle sacks inside the seagull sack.
Find your Recycling & Waste collection day and calendar
Help South Hams District Council by:
- Making sure refuse sacks are placed in the seagull sacks to help prevent litter, especially in bad weather.
- Place recycling sacks next to your seagull sack and not inside it.
- Take your seagull sack back inside as soon after your collection as possible.
- Mark your sack with your name or house number to help you identify it.
- Please do not tie the handles of your seagull sack together so crews can easily empty them.
- Do not place loose waste in your seagull sack. All refuse should be in refuse sacks.
Remember, your sack must be at the boundary of your property by 7am on collection day.

New path for walkers going to Coleton Fishacre
Kingswear Parish Council are very pleased to announce that with the agreement of Highways that it now has an agreement with the National Trust to provide a path along the verge along Broad Road from Slappers Hill for walkers going to Coleton Fishacre. After deciding how much to cut, with Council Chairman, Lynne Maurer, National Trust Ranger, Tim Bumby, cut the verge this morning. It is hoped very much that this will provide safety as the busy Easter season begins. The Council would like to thank the National Trust for their generosity and Tim for his hard work.

Kingswear Historians
The Kingswear Historians are proposing to commemorate the 75th anniversary of D-Day by creating an exhibition of memories relevant to that event. The time- frame is probably around 6 months either side of D -Day. To this end they would like to know if any of you have either your own memories or, more likely, stories in the family about that event or time. These often go down the generations but are rarely written down anywhere. We would like to include any memories, in whatever form, letters, pictures, or written stories. You may have items from that time, biscuit tins, army issue items, clothing, gas masks, ration cards, that you would lend to the exhibition.
If you have anything, or photos or letters or telegrams, etc., please let Alison know at aatredoubt@btinternet.com She would be delighted to hear from you. Come on, get out those old suitcases from the loft or garage and have a good old rummage!
Many thanks!

Windy Corner Work Schedule
Here for your information is the schedule for work being carried out on the Windy Corner Junction. This was published this week by Torbay Council Highways Department.
To see the full detail, please click this link to open a PDF document.
With reference to the 20th June entry, we confirm that the bus stop will remain at the end of Langdon Lane – the construction work here will be an adjustment to the road to give the bus more room to stop.
We enquired about the promise of a zebra crossing by the traffic lights (up-grading the present crossing). Torbay Council said that the infrastructure (provision for signage and lighting for a zebra crossing) would be put in place but that currently a zebra cross there had not passed a safety assessment so far– drivers need to be able to pick up the fact that a crossing is there in time to take action. We will of course monitor this and follow through any necessary discussion as safety of pedestrians (especially those who are less able and school children) has to be paramount.

Brixham Community Bus The evening Community Bus is a lifeline for Kingswear and Hillhead. For this valuable service, Kingswear Parish Council awarded a payment of £500 to help fund the well known Yellow Buses and recognise the positive impact it has made. Dave 'the Yellow Bus man' accepted the Cheque on behalf of the Company ( pictured with District Cllr Jonathan Hawkins and Chair of Kingswear Parish Council Lynne Maurer). The Brixham Community Bus is run by volunteers and they would appreciate new drivers and helpers to maintain this and other services they provide. |
