Red Cow Inn

Exeter City Council have finally sent a formal request to the owner of the site:

"In order to remedy the breach of planning control regulations I have advised that they remove all the refuse and debris from the site and cut down the weeds within 28 days of the date of this letter (23 May 2008).  Failure to comply with this request may result in further action being taken by the Council.  I have advised that an alternative option rather than tidy the site is to screen the site with secure solid hoardings rather than the existing fencing to ensure the site is adequately screened from public view."

Stacey Salter, Senior Enforcement & Projects Officer.

They get one more warning period.  Then the Council does the work and charges the site owner.

The full letter to Councillor Prowse, who has worked doggedly on this, is on the physical noticeboard by the arch.

Noticeboard - Why?

Mainly because I'm retired and wanted to find out how this worked. But also because it allows other Taddyforde residents to add notices, or ask for information. If I see a new message on this board, I can print it out and put it on the physical noticeboard by the arch.

To be able to add a notice, you will have to email me so that I can "invite" you to join the group. I then send you an email with a link which you can use to join by entering your email address and password on the Google web site. You only have to do this once. After that you can sign in when you want to add a notice or a comment.

There's also a mysterious Subscribe message at the bottom of this page. If you click on that you can get an automatic message to say that something new has been added to the board without having to go and visit it.

I hope someone else will want to use it!
