JAZZ AT THE GAMES CLUB

SHOPS IN THE HIGH STREET

Visitors are now able to access the town centre again now that the extensive works have abated. But what a sad sight greets them in Fore Street and the High Street. There are too many empty shops that have remained vacant for months that display curling notices and deteriorating interiors. These are difficult times for traders so everyone is encouraged to buy locally.

The Boundary Commissions proposals for Devon

The review is now open for consultation (again) until 14 July 2009. The recommendations remain unchanged: A unitary structure for Exeter and Exmouth and one for the rest of Devon leaving Torbay and Plymouth with their present status.

A Warm Welcome to Budleigh Salterton

The delightful town of Budleigh Salterton is situated in the country beside the sea and is a wonderful place to visit and in which to live. These pages deal with local issues in the town as well as with the delights of living here. I have been in East Devon for the last 40 years and in the town for 14 years. This is not to say that we cannot improve on what we have - the bathing areas of the beach, for example, are not easy to access unless you are quite nimble - and not everyone who lives here or visits is as sprightly as they once were!

We do hope you enjoy reading about all this in these pages. Below you will find navigation areas but do drop a line or as an email or ring on 01395 442360 if you think there are other issues to be addressed.

There is very little public space in the town for performance. Is this the time to consider erecting a bandstand on the Green?

   

Encouraging the retail trade. No more empty shops in the town, please.
