County Councillor Update September 2024 Since I last wrote in this magazine I have also been elected to District Council for Braunton West and Georgeham. So now I represent you at Devon County Council and North Devon Council.

At District I sit on Strategy & Resources committee and Licencing.

At DCC I’m on a few more; Children’s Scrutiny, Adult Health & Social Care, Standards committee, Foster Panel, Equality Commission, Governance and the Mental Health Act Discharge of Guardianship panel.

There’s always something new to learn and no two days are the same.

Councillors have grants to spend from both councils and this year I have managed to help quite a few local groups and charities… Saunton SLSC, Access for All, Vista Wellbeing, Plastic Free North Devon, Chill Therapy CIC, Knowle Community Group, Devon Scout Jamboree, the Benita Project, Braunton Countryside Centre, the Pilot Gig Club and a few others. It’s the nicest part of my role!

I have also been elected as Vice Chair of Devon County Council this year, which is mainly a ceremonial role, representing the council at events. I was honoured to lay a wreath for DCC at the D-Day memorial service in Barnstaple and am looking forward to attending the opening of Barnstaple Fair ceremony this month.

Please do get in touch if you have something I can help you with… pru.maskell@devon.gov.uk or phone 07379 398641

Heanton Nursing Home Celebrates New Garden Water Feature Heanton Nursing Home are admiring the newest addition to their garden – a beautiful stone water feature. Generously fundraised and donated by Alan Fulford, husband to Dorothy, a resident at the North Devon care home.

Alan shared his motivation behind the donation, mentioning that ‘Dorothy loved to sit by the fountain at home.’ He and a friend attended numerous car boot sales selling gold to raise the funds needed to purchase the same fountain that he and Dorothy enjoyed together. Now, they can continue to enjoy the feature at Heanton Nursing Home. Danielle, a Kitchen Assistant, said how Dorothy ‘asked me to take her out to see it’ after a shopping trip, and after they settled in the garden listening to the calming stream, Dorothy said “oh it’s peaceful isn’t it.”

Heanton Nursing Home encourages a Continuation of Life to Family Members living at the home; and the stone water feature with multiple waterfalls can be enjoyed by all family and team members as it has been expertly positioned on the patio, to compliment the stunning grounds overlooking the estuary. Bree, an Admin at Heanton said how ‘our other family members are also enjoying it and sit out there longer than usual,’ and adds ‘we have also had comments from visiting professionals about how lovely it is.’

To thank Alan for his gift, the home has arranged for a plaque for the wall above the fountain, which will remind all of his kindness and generosity.

Footcare Specialists Surgery or Home Visits

Maggie’s mission to find her forever home Three-year-old Border Collie Maggie is looking for a new home after she arrived at Dogs Trust Ilfracombe Rehoming Centre as a stray. Since being in Dogs Trust care, her canine carers have described her as a sweet and affectionate girl.

Although she is nervous of new people, she warms to strangers quickly and loves to lap up all the fuss and snuggles. She likes reassurance as well as lots of praise and encouragement as she lacks confidence.

Easy Free Parking Fully Qualified and Insured Samantha Russell DipCFHP

01271 814418 19 The Fairway - Braunton

Although initially a little apprehensive, Maggie is happy to join calm dogs out on a walk. She enjoys exploring rural, peaceful areas where she can sniff around at her own pace. She is worried by traffic and will need a home away from busy roads and access to walks away from passing vehicles. Maggie does not yet play with toys; she possibly doesn’t know what they’re all about. She loves her food and has picked up some basic training already - she knows how to ‘sit’ and ‘paw’.

Maggie is looking to be the only dog in the home, with the possibility of being able to share her home with another dog in the future. She would benefit from having doggie pals when out and about, however we have no history of Maggie around cats, small furries, or livestock.

Elise Watson, Rehoming Centre Manager at Dogs Trust Ilfracombe said, “Maggie is looking for patient adult adopters who will help her settle into home life with positive reward training. She may have never lived in a home before and therefore she is not familiar with household noises, novel objects, and housetraining. She’s a wonderful girl with a great personality, and will make a great addition to a loving home.”

If you think you can offer Maggie a forever home, please visit https://www.dogstrust.org.uk/rehoming/dogs/ crossbreed/3443864 for more information.

After a five year break, due mainly to the Pandemic and its aftermath, Barnstaple is getting ready for its annual colourful cavalcade to burst back onto it’s streets this autumn.

An enthusiastic team of volunteers, together with the support of Flourishing Barnstaple, are working hard to restore the once, mile long spectacular, back to it’s rightful position in marking the closing stages of the historic Barnstaple Fair.

Saturday 21st September will see the town come alive with the appearance of a Carnival Village making camp around the Square and along the Strand, featuring stalls and attractions of every kind together with a programme of entertainment at the Millennium Mural on Queen Anne’s Walk keeping crowds entertained before the main event moves off from Taw Vale at 6pm.

Two new areas along the route, new for 2024, will include a ‘performance area’ appropriately positioned outside the Queen’s Theatre, where the newly introduced “Performance Class” trophy will be judged, and secondly a Quiet Sensory Area just as the parade enters North Walk is offered for those hoping to enjoy a “quieter” experience.

The event will be crowned by a dazzling firework finale taking to the skies at 8pm which can be viewed from Barnstaple Bridge, The Strand and along the embankment.

Of course, to make this a rip-roaring success, the event needs the involvement of the good people of Barnstaple. The Entry form for all classes can be found at www.barnstaplecarnival.org.uk as can details of how to book spaces to host stalls and attractions around the Strand area on the day.

Details of classes and prizes awarded for winning entries are available at www.barnstaplecarnival.org.uk and there is a downloadable guide to help anyone who wants to ‘have a go’ but doesn’t quite know where to start.

50

To advertise call 07561 890 588 or email mag@ex33.co.uk

The team are also keen to welcome visiting entries from the surrounding towns and villages and a new prize winning class, with trophy, has been introduced for those making the journey. Visiting Carnival Royalty are invited to join the parade with Barnstaple’s chosen ‘heads of state’ which, this year invites every community, across all ages, to enter the contest.

Details and entry forms can be found on the website.

The Barnstaple Carnival crew are also on the lookout for people who want to get involved, but who don’t necessarily want to be part of the parade.

Stewards play a huge role in the organisation on the day, not only ensuring the parade safely navigates the streets of the town but act as a point of contact for the public answering questions and directing them as appropriate throughout the day. If you would like to join this elite team, please email stewards@barnstaplecarnival.org.uk.

As with all everything these days, the cost of the event continues to rise and, so that the team can meet their obligatory commitments, they are asking businesses across the area for help in raising the necessary funds to help cover the costs of the parade. If you have a business that would like to help and benefit from showcasing your organisation on the day, please contact scott@barnstaplecarnival.org.uk for all details of all sponsorship packages the event can offer.

The revival of Barnstaple Carnival has been supported by Flourishing Barnstaple, a North Devon Council Initiative to develop cultural activity within the town which, in turn, has been made possible thanks to support from the Cultural Development Fund, administered

by Arts Council England, on behalf of the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.

Co-Project Manager, Kev Behan, says “The town’s fair week has been rudderless for the last couple of years and we hope with the resurgence of the annual parade it will ignite the creativity of the community and we further hope people will come out once more, either to take part, or in just to line the route to support the efforts of all those involved.” It will be great to see the town getting back together!”

CAT OF THE MONTH - BRUTUS

Meet Brutus, a rather large plump but still handsome twelve year old tabby who loves humans.

He seems to have spent quite a few years living the life of a stray but a kind couple spent a lot of time gaining his trust and finally took him into their home three years ago. Unfortunately he couldn't be persuaded to get on with their existing furry friends, so eventually it seemed best all round for him to move on.

Brutus has been well cared for and much loved in these recent years and although big and chunky he is a real lap cat when in the mood. He is often very vocal especially when he wants your attention and likes for you to talk to him in return. Once he knows you he is a very affectionate puss, greeting you with lots of face rubbing and dribbling when he gets a bit of fuss and a cuddle in return. He has had experience of visiting children but has mainly been used to living in a quiet home environment which would now suit him best. He obviously still loves the great outdoors and can use a cat flap.

He has had the works at the vet including blood tests and a full dental. So, after passing his MOT with flying colours could you give dear Brutus the loving home he now needs?
