Surveys to help improve North Devon Link Road
Businesses in North Devon and Torridge will be invited to take part in
detailed surveys over the next couple of months. Devon County Council
will be consulting with companies in the area throughout February and
March as it develops its business case for improving the Link Road.
The County Council has recently received £1.5 million from the
Department for Transport to start work on investigating the options for
upgrading the Link Road. It follows an initial consultation into potential
improvements to the North Devon Link Road in 2014 which
demonstrated considerable support for an improvement to the route,
and led to representations being made to Government by Councillors
and MPs.
Currently, the average speed on the road is 47mph and only 15% of the
route has overtaking lanes. The Link Road needs improvement to meet
forecast traffic increases and support economic growth. As part of the
survey it is necessary to build up a detailed picture of travel patterns of
businesses in the area. Some companies will be contacted direct and will
be asked to have on-site interviews while others will be asked to carry
out the survey online. Briefings will also be undertaken with Councillors
at Torridge District Council, North Devon Council and Devon County
Council this month.
Devon County Council has received £609,000 from the DfT for work
being carried out this financial year and into 2016/17 with a further
£891,000 being made available to develop the project beyond 2017. This
adds to the £1 million budget which the County Council had allocated
for developing designs. Data from traffic surveys carried out last year are
being analysed to get a better understanding of the traffic using the
North Devon Link Road. This information will be looked at in detail with
the business surveys to develop potential options. The intention is for
this information to be shared at a public consultation later in 2016. The
surveys and assessments will eventually inform a business case and
scheme bid for a share of the Government’s £475 million Local Majors
Fund.

Further consultation for North Devon Local Plan
The green light has been given for further public consultation on the
North Devon and Torridge Local Plan. Having considered comments from
the last consultations at the end of 2015, further consultation will be
carried out in the following areas.
A policy for starter homes on exception sites such as underused and
unviable employment land.
The preferred policy for wind energy development.
It was also agreed the plan would include all additional proposed main
changes to the policy for affordable homes. Consultation started on
Thursday 11 February and will last for six weeks. Following this
consultation and consideration of comments received, it is hoped the plan
will be submitted to the Secretary of State in May for public examination.
Once accepted by the Planning Inspectorate and adopted by the councils,
the plan will be used when making decisions on planning applications
across both districts.

Backup backup backup!
OK, I know I have covered this subject before, but following two incidents
this week alone whereby I have been asked if there is anything that can be
done to recover years of work lost from a hard drive. Me, of course,
asking the inevitable question, “Is there a backup?” and the replies varying
from “I didn’t have time” or “I didn’t think I needed to” to my favourite,
“This is the backup, the original was destroyed last year.”
So, let's talk about backups. Should you have one? YES! BUT only if you
don't want to risk losing all your photos, music, documents etc. If you are
happy to ignore this warning, then please turn the page. If, however, you
don’t have a backup system or you don’t know what I am talking about,
please keep reading! OK, So backups, what are they? They are basically a
copy of your important data and information that you really don't want to
lose. How do you do a backup? That is the bigger question. There are a
number of really good backup systems, and a number of really BAD ones
too. The easiest way is to literally copy and paste everything to either a
USB hard drive or flash drive, but you can also backup online to the
Google Cloud, or many other online spaces.
Please remember you should copy the actual files, and not shortcuts to
the files. If you copy the shortcut it simply won’t work if you need to
restore the backup as it is just a quick link to the file itself. What about
online? Yes, great! I love the Google Drive .... and it’s fairly easy to install
and run. If you have a Gmail or Googlemail account then you have the
drive already, and 10 Gigabytes (GB) of space. You can upgrade for a few
pounds a month to a 100 GB of space or more if needed. Don’t rush into
buying more space if you don’t need it. But you can look here for
information… https://goo.gl/i8Qrtc I would always suggest looking around
for alternatives. Windows itself does have a backup system that will guide
you through the whole process. It’s not too shabby either. There are
many variations around, a simple online search will come up with
thousands of results! As usual, any questions or comments are welcome,
so please email me, Andy, at [email protected]

“The Brendon Sing”
Takes place at the Stag Hunters Inn,
Brendon on the 3rd
Saturday of each month
The Brendon Sing has become something of an institution on Exmoor;
it is not a club, or a formally organised event, other than the fact that it
happens on the 3rd Saturday of each month, and has done for more than
40 years. Local folk, visitors, and friends who travel often considerable
distances, come to join in.
The Sing was initially in the Rockford Inn, moving to the Stag Hunters Inn
more than 25 years ago, and began with a few locals getting together to
make their own entertainment, some songs, stories, tunes, poems, jokes,
any of which could touch you in different ways, sometimes sad, often
cheerful, occasionally bawdy. Whether the words had been written more
than one hundred years ago, or just last week, every contribution was
welcome, and in that sense little has changed.
Over the years many characters have shared their wares with us, some
sadly no longer here, and the booklet which is for sale will, I hope, go a
way to keep alive a few of the songs, and the memories. Perhaps YOU
will be persuaded to join in with your voice, when you visit the Sing, and
hear songs from these pages being sung. Thank you.
Martyn Babb
All the money from the sale of the songbook will be
supporting the “BRENDON DEFIBRILLATOR FUND” and The E.N.P.A. Trust “CAREMOOR”.
Production costs of the booklet have been met thanks to the support
of the Exmoor National Park’s Lynton Pavilion Heritage Project.

“Louisa: A Winter’s Tale” is now in production using the
amazing animation talents of Lynton’s Ken Blakey assisted by Russ Meyers.
It is based upon a screenplay by Adrian J. Tyson, and is being Directed by
Simon J Miller. It shows the famous 1899 RNLI heroic rescue of the storm
damaged Forrest Hall ship as retold through the eyes of Coxswain Jack
Crocombe’s young daughter, May. This animated film, without words, will
be driven forward by Exmoor’s composer Michael McDermott, and his
hauntingly beautiful theme music which includes the song IN YOUR ARMS
as sung by teenager Eleanor Grant.
Eleanor’s IN YOUR ARMS single is available now to view as a “teaser” on
YouTube, and also to download from iTunes & Amazon for around 79p.
The movie will be released this October in time for Christmas.

Winter's well on the way out and now we can start getting
ready for the great music our wonderful venues are giving us and our
vital visitors for the season! Here are just a few of the happenings that
have come to my attention. To get the full info. keep an eye open for
their adverts in this publication.
The incredible Razor has arranged a fabulous birthday bash which
looks as if it's going to be a mini feastival on the weekend starting Friday
March 25. He has lined up some really good bands so make sure you
catch them, see opposite page.
The great James Tucker has got the annual Classic car weekend
arranged for weekend of June 11. In itself that is always a great attraction
but (Oh joy! Oh bliss! many venues are also pitching in with live bands! )
And that’s not all. The fun carries on to the following weekend
when Gary, guvn'r of the 'Cottage Inn', is going to present a mini festival.
The Cottage is a great venue, he has some excellent bands booked, the
beer's great and the food’s fantastic and best of all, it's far enough away
from the main town to avoid waking the mizzogs with the noise of
people enjoying life!
Look out for I hear there's another fantastic night in store at the
Town Hall !!!!! A 'Pink Floyd' tribute band. Full details will be revealed in
this newspaper so make sure you get your tickets as soon as you can.
This band is seriously good and always sells out fast.
YES !!! The 'Hunters Inn' will be having their marvellous beer and
music festival again this year! I believe that as usual it will be towards the
end of summer. It's always an amazing event so look out for details, be
there and have loads of fun!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our venues are pulling out all the stops to give us a great
summer’s entertainment. Give them fantastic support and tell your rich
friends in Martinique that you won’t be there this summer, you’re staying
home to have some ‘real fun’.

Police Notes
LYNTON POLICE ASK FOR HELP WITH THE FATAL FOUR! There are
four main causes of serious injuries and deaths on the region’s roads. They are:
Inappropriate speed Speed ..It’s 30 for a reason. The difference of a few miles per
hour can mean the difference between life and death. The faster someone is driving,
the less time they have to stop if something unexpected happens. Speed limits are
there for a reason. You must not drive faster than the speed limit for the type of road
and your type of vehicle. The speed limit is the absolute maximum and it doesn’t mean
it's safe to drive at this speed in all conditions.
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, Drink driving ..It's not worth
the risk. By drinking and driving, you risk your life, those of your passengers and
others on the road. Drug driving ..It is illegal to drive if your driving is impaired by
drugs or if you have certain drugs above a specified level in your blood.
Not Wearing a Seat Belt In a crash you're twice as likely to die if you don't wear a
seatbelt. Drivers and passengers who fail to wear seatbelts in the front and back of
vehicles are breaking the law. Drivers caught without a seatbelt face on-the-spot fines
of £100. If prosecuted, the maximum fine is £500.
Driver distractions including using mobile devices such as phones, 'sat navs'
and tablets Studies show that drivers using a hands-free or handheld mobile phone
are slower at recognising and reacting to hazards. It's illegal to use a handheld mobile
device when driving. This includes using your mobile phone to follow a map, read a
text or check social media and applies even if you’re stopped at traffic lights or queuing
in traffic.

The Lynton & Barnstaple Railway Trust
Planning Application News
Planning applications to extend the railway to Blackmoor Gate and
Wistlandpound Reservoir are now complete and the two local
authorities, Exmoor National Park and North Devon Council, have
registered the applications and the public consultation period is open
until 4 March 2016.
Overall there are seven separate planning applications as follows:
ENPA 62/50/16/001 Reinstatement of the Railway line
NDC 60676 Reinstatement of the Railway line
The above two applications include clearance of cuttings filled in since
the railway closed and replacement and repair of original bridge
structures and embankments that have been removed or have
deteriorated during that time.
ENPA 62/50/16/002 New rolling stock shed and sidings
NDC 60675 Change of use and extension of The Old
Station House Inn to Blackmoor Station
ENPA 62/50/16/003 New Railway car park
ENPA 62/50/16/004 Redevelopment and expansion of public
car park and amenity area
ENPA 62/50/16/005 Erection of two dwellings (one for
Railway purposes and one for local needs
affordable housing) at Parracombe Halt
The steam railway - which currently operates over a mile of track
between Woody Bay Station near Lynton and Killington Lane - carried
48,000 passengers last year, beating the previous record. This much-
loved narrow-gauge line across Exmoor was opened in 1898 and closed
in 1935 before springing back to life in 2004 and becoming an award-
winning national heritage asset for North Devon.
When the service is extended, the railway’s centre of operations will be
transferred from Woody Bay to Blackmoor Gate where an engineering
centre and locomotive and carriage sheds will be constructed in a
shallow valley almost invisible from the road. The Old Station House Inn
MARCH 2016 53 LEISURE AND COMMUNITY
[email protected] 01598 752788
Continued.....
– the former Blackmoor Station on the old railway – will be redesigned to
include the station as well as the existing pub and restaurant business
which developed after the railway closed. There will be parking for 160
cars at Blackmoor Gate with a pedestrian underpass below the road
providing access to the station. The existing public toilets at Blackmoor
Gate will also be redeveloped with the addition of a visitor information
centre. Nearer the northern end of the extension Parracombe Bank will
be reconstructed with a culvert larger than a double-decker bus to carry
the River Heddon through the embankment. That will ensure the bank
cannot be severed again as it was at the time of the Lynmouth Flood in
1952, with tragic consequences. Parracombe Halt will be reinstated and
the building erected on the site in 1988 will be replaced by two houses,
one of them for local affordable needs.
If the planning applications are approved the extension of the line will
provide a major boost to the tourist industry of North Devon. It will
directly support 24 full-time jobs and many more in the wider service
sector locally. Apprentices will also be trained in the engineering centre.
Once this stage of the restoration of the legendary Lynton & Barnstaple
Railway is complete the line will be rebuilt on to Lynton and back to
Barnstaple, linking once again the two towns by the historic railway that
many people think should never have been closed. In the meantime a
shuttle bus service will be operated from Woody Bay to Lynton. Visitors
will then be able to park their cars at Blackmoor Gate on the edge of
Exmoor National Park and ride through the national park itself without
disturbing the very beauty and tranquillity they have come to enjoy.

The Lyn and Exmoor Museum
ST. VINCENT COTTAGE, MARKET STREET, LYNTON
One of Lynton’s oldest cottages, circa 17thC., is home to an extensive collection of artefacts relating to Exmoor life, but more generally to all our past social histories.
Charity Reg. No. 1015679
The Victorian kitchen has many daily remembrances of days gone by. The Lynton and Barnstaple Railway and transport collection shows the
delights of travelling as enjoyed by earlier generations. The tool collection reveals the daily skill and trades as well as the graft and
toil of the area and, together with the maritime exhibits, show the earlier dependency on the harvest of the sea as well as the land.
Remembrances of the Lynmouth Flood and the endeavours of the Lynmouth Lifeboat are recorded with their own material displays. Both events are infamous in the area, and known about throughout the world.
A Victorian doll’s house with its very own Victorian kitchen and body sleeping in the bed.
Our samplers, the work of local childrens’ hands 150 years ago, have recently been restored and remounted. These now show the intricate needlework with a freshness that had been lost over the years.
Plus so much more wherever you look, and even talk of a ... ghost !!

Help us Clean for the Queen – and North Devon!
Local community groups are being asked to help ‘Clean for the Queen’ –
and North Devon too – with the launch of two new litter-pick campaigns.
To mark Her Majesty the Queen’s 90th birthday, North Devon Council is
helping to promote the Clean for the Queen campaign which aims to
encourage communities to hold their own clean-up events in their
neighbourhood. They are being asked to contact the council so that
support and equipment can be provided for their event. If people would
like to hold a community litter pick but are unable to arrange something
prior to 4 March, the council is also launching its own community clean-up
campaign. ‘Team Up To Clean Up’ which aims to encourage communities
to organise litter-picks in their areas, with the council offering support.
For more information about Team Up To Clean Up as well as to book
council support for the ‘Clean for the Queen’ campaign please email [email protected].
