Dulverton Voice - Dulverton Town Council

Dulverton Voice
Issue 34
February 2016
Free
Welcome to issue 34
Issue 33 created a number of records, more information and comments from our readers,
the most quotes from the local press and all this without problems with Dog Poo ( just a little
about that subject in this issue)
As you will read we are trying to help and would ask that you give some thought to being
trained to use a speed camera, the idea is not to catch the Mayor but to make our town a
little bit safer. Just return the card enclosed (If it is missing there are some at the Post Office)
– the post box is on the side of the Pharmacy.
On the photo page the Editor asks for help, he lost a phone number (old age before someone
else says it !) and does not want to let a family down.
Hope you enjoy this issue
and we are not blaming our Town Council who do try
to keep people in touch and maybe they should
review this part of their work. We are willing to help
in two ways
1. We are willing to enclose an A4 folded insert once
a quarter or half yearly produced by the Town Council to give information to the Town and as long as the
DTC pays for its printing we will not charge them,
similar to that produced by the council in Jan 2014.
Well no story has had such a feedback to Dulverton
Voice before, the first comment came in at 13.40 on
the 1st of January (Happy New Year) just 7 hours
after the “Voice” was on the counter at the Tantivy.
It was a strong defence of Lorries in Town whether
they were delivering into the town or using it as short
cut. What was good about these comments was that
it was not just a rant but had been well thought out.
We also had some strong comments from a shop
keeper, who, after they managed to get the details
from the County Council, had driven round to see
what was being proposed and could not see why
most of the proposed comments had been made.
Many more comments came our way from people
with businesses in town and residents; we just hope
that they were also passed on to SCC and our Town
Council
Both local papers carried the story, one as its main
front page story under the headline “Traffic Scheme
Branded SNEAKY”
Comments which have come up time after time are
why change the rules when you cannot enforce
them, one thing that this has shown up is a lack of
information being given to the people of Dulverton,
2. We enclose with this issue of the “Voice” a post
card produced by the “Voice “and at no cost to the
Town for those who wish to help with the Councils
idea of training a speed watch voluntary group.( The
nearest we can get to enforcement.)
To raise awareness of road users in and around
Dulverton to the dangers of speeding and with the
support of the local police and invite volunteers to
come forward to train.
Drivers clocked exceeding the speed limit will be
noted, contacted, and in the first instance a speed
advisory warning will be issued.
If you'd like to be involved, please drop your contact
details into the Council Post Box by the Pharmacy.
Your comments are most welcome so we can pass
on your thoughts and help to our Town Council.
Just for the record we are still getting comments as
we write this item.

A New Year’s Message
from our PCSO’s
We would urge everyone to remember not to leave
items of value, or that someone might think were of
value, in their vehicle when it is unattended.
Sometimes the damage done, and the inconvenience
caused, are worse that the value of the items taken!
It is so easy to become complacent and forget this
message when enjoying oneself out dog walking,
hunting, or even relaxing at home. It is sad but we
cannot trust everyone!
The good news - In other crimes the Dulverton area
remains one of the safest in our force area. Dulverton
by Starlight seemed to be a success again, and we
congratulate the organisers! We hope that all readers
had a safe holiday period.

At Dulverton Police Station we would like to wish all
our local residents a safe, secure, and prosperous
2016.
Dulverton and Exmoor continue to be a great places
to live, with low crime rates. In recent weeks there
has only been one crime trend which we have
noticed, and that is attacks and thefts from parked
vehicles.
Since the beginning of December there have been
vehicles attacked in this way at Brushford, Winsford
Hill, and Kennisham Hill. These attacks have been
during both the daytime, and night, with items of
value taken from the vehicles.

Roadworks between Bampton and Tiverton
will cause "serious disruption" on the A396 at
Cove from Monday January 25, 2016
As a result of the feedback more passing places
are being added on Old Tiverton Road.
During some of the works that would originally
have required road closures, the traffic will now
be managed through a mixture of traffic lights and
a convoy system.
Although there will still be periods when it will be
necessary to close the A396 entirely, overall the
disruption should be significantly reduced thanks
to those who contributed to the information days.

Whilst walking my dog I listen to radio 4 (sad I know)
but this morning there was a long item on the cost
of energy and how many of us are paying too much
for our energy needs.
As many of you know the Oil Buddies is a group of
like minded people in TA22 who wanted to try to get
the best price for oil orders, joining together. Over
the last 12 months they have ordered 270,000 litres
of oil. The more they order each month then the
better price they have been able to negotiate.
If you would like to join in all you need to do is drop
your name, address, telephone number and email
into the post office, each month you’ll receive a
reminder email. Orders are placed on the 28th of
each month for those that require it. There’s no
charge just cheaper oil.
Sound like a great idea to me so why not give it
a go?
Built 1822 - in the heart of Dulverton
A warm welcome - great place to stay.

restaurant -can be used for functions

Mathew Meets …
Nick Thwaites
How long have you lived in Dulverton? - I have lived 15 years
on Exmoor, 13 years of those in Dulverton. and I was born in
Wembley, Middlesex. My mother was born in Neasden in
northwest London, My father was born in Kimberley a town in
Nottinghamshire,
Where did you go to school? - Just outside Wembley although
it was a few miles to get there, and I mostly had to walk there and
back Did you enjoy school? Yes I did enjoy school, some good
and some bad times but on the whole mostly good.
Did you enjoy growing up? Yes I did and had the benefit of a good childhood – and what was your
favourite memory when growing up? Going out but mainly the coming home
Your favourite subjects at school? Two subjects – physics because I was able to find out how
things worked, and Maths because it could explain why things worked
Least favourite subject at school? Metal work, because the teacher threw things at us if did not get it
right first time..
What was your best sporting attribute when growing up? Avoiding having to run round the sports
field for an hour if the ground was to muddy too play football
Favourite book? Burn the Night by Jocelynn Drake - Fantasy, escapism at its easiest. A relaxing
read.
Favourite movie? One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1962) starring Jack Nicholson written by Ken
Kesey. Why- it is a sad reflection on life, starting off as a comedy and then becomes sad & serious
Favourite sport? Horse riding, the fun rides and cross country courses – although this is mainly in
the past.
Favourite colour? Blue, why because- it is gentle on the eyes.
What jobs have you done in your career? I have always worked in the field of communications,
starting as a Post Office Technician through to Engineer to Director, from Management Consultant
through to Business Development, from Competitive Intelligence to Sales, all focused on technology
in companies such as: Mobile Oil, Motorola, Lucent, Vodafone and Huawei. During my career I was
lucky to have the privilege of travelling to a great many countries and experiencing many different
cultures along the way.
Do you have a hobby that you enjoy? Clay shooting and horse riding. Why, both have a practical
aspect to them and they tend to attract a mixed and varied type of people from all walks of life
One interesting fact about yourself? I built my own house in Sussex from bottom to top during the
day and when working nights.
Who is your inspiration and why?My father, he seemed to be able to fix anything and everything.
One thing that you think would improve Dulverton? More people coming forward to work together
to help the town. Why, it must be for the “right” reasons i.e. because they want to make a difference,
not for their own self interests.
Anything extra you’d like to add? A thing to remember: Trust and respect are earned over time but
are quickly destroyed and lost forever.
Thank You

adverts - and it can be downloaded from the
Dulverton Voice and Dulverton Town web sites.
Thank you letter
Thank you so much for raising a fantastic
£300.00 for Macmillan from your Christmas
tree display. We hope that you enjoyed it, and
that you’ll pass our thanks on to everyone who
helped to make it a success. Your effort and

The Voices of Exmoor - would like to
thank everyone who supported their
Summer and Christmas Concerts last
year. Thanks to the wonderful generosity of
these audiences, the Choir is pleased to
donate £1,800 to each of the local Air
Ambulance Trusts (Somerset and Dorset Trust
and Devon Trust) which provide such vital
services to Exmoor - a total donation of £3,600.
The Choir hope that their loyal audiences enjoy
their concerts as much as they enjoy singing
and it is an added bonus when together they
can raise funds for such worthy causes.
Practices for the 2016 concerts are already
underway and the concerts for this year will be
on July 1st and 2nd, and December 16th and
17th.
The Queen is 90 this year - Is our town
arranging any celebrations? The official
dates are the 12th to 15th May but the
Street parties are on the 12th June – any
ideas? Or are plans already in place?
The Church Wall – It slowly moves
forwards, the 2 experts have met and
now we await the final views from all the
objectors and then we await the Chancellors
views, cost will still play a part.
Dog Poo – Sorry to raise this point
again but there is a retired lady who is
not a dog owner who is having the
entrance to her garden used as a Dog Toilet –
not nice. Well sooner or later we will get a
photo of the culprit and that will look good on
our front page, as we’ll will know who is
responsible. So PLEASE stop now, good for
you and good for the retired lady.
If you can get a photo before us, let us have the
photo and we will give you a nice bottle of Fizz
and we will not publish photographers name.
Eat Dirt on Exmoor – Mountain Bike
Challenge on 2nd May (Bank Holiday)

It’s still their Home
Margaret Rawle has just returned from an
Exmoor National Park Forum Meeting and,
as promised, she updates us. “I asked for
support in lobbying Highways for better
signage, rubble strips and verge gorse
clearance”
Winsford Hill belongs to the National Trust
so there are 3 Authorities involved. I also
asked for finger posts stating emergency
numbers to contact in the event of an animal
fatality. On Tuesday at Exmoor Panel
Meeting I again reminded Highways of the
previous request re better signage and they
were going to take it back to their
department.
It was stated previously by the highways
they agreed the signage is inadequate and
it would be addressed in the next financial
year. I will keep on about this to the relevant
Authorities and as soon as any
developments or news, I will let the “Voice”
know - we await action! “
However a reader wrote in following last
month’s article with the following ideas
“Regarding the recent comments about the
ponies, could the signs just have reflective
studs to make up the wording? Also; they
are experimenting on Dartmoor with
fluorescent paint on the flanks of their
ponies and I believe that in Iceland they
attach reflective collars to the reindeer.”
The fluorescent paint is not such a great
idea as we have sheep and cattle on the
moor but thank you for the thought.

They are not new to catering as they owned the Exeter Inn

First week of April at the Town Hall will see
a lavish production of a traditional version
with all the heroes and villains, singing and
dancing, and harmless fun that you expect
from a Pantomime.
“It may seem odd to stage a pantomime in
spring, but we wanted to engage with as
many local young people as possible.
School and Families have their own
crowded agenda at Christmas.”
Twelve budding actors will be on stage with
the regular stars of the Dulverton Players.
Heather Hodgson, who first appeared at
the Town Hall at the age of seven, plays
kindly Dame Trott. Heather remembers
vividly her father, Tom Mackney, producing
ten Dulverton pantos in the 1950’s.
Valentine Cards and Gifts
Jack Trott is tasked with climbing the magic
beanstalk and defeating the evil giant.
Great range of Easter Eggs,
Confectionery and Cards
There’s romance with Carol Jones playing
the lovely Princess Demelza.
Tamsin Blackmore plays Edena, the fairy.
Edena is an eco-fairy for our times,
defeating evil villains and toxic emissions
alike with a wave of her wand and the odd
rhyming couplet.
Delicious Food and Drink
And Much More!
Open 7 days a week

More interesting pieces from The Dulverton Highway Board
vehicles. This must have been a problem to the
Highways even then, to require prohibition.
Dated the 3rd June 1982, "The Surveyor, reported
that he had had the Town watercourse cleaned out,
and that they had the drain near the Vicarage
opened out, where a leakage had occurred that had
been caused by rats making water flow into the
vicarage ".
Dated 6th February 1886. "Moved that the Surveyor
be instructed to give the owners and occupiers of
lands adjoining the highways notice to prune or trim
the hedges so that the roads might not be prejudiced
by the shade thereof."
Rats in the 19th. Century were even more of a
problem than they are today, possibly the sewers
collapsing in Dulverton in this century are the results
of our ancestral rats!
Would we be so lucky, I thought, on reading this,
don't we all wish this was enforced today.
How many times has your vehicle been scraped with
sticking out branches or your visibility been
compromised with vegetation overhanging from the
hedges?
Dated October the 6th. 1883, " Mr J.B. Collyns of
Dulverton attended on behalf of the Dulverton Street
Lighting Committee to solicit the consent of this
Board to a proposal that the Streets of Dulverton be
swept as necessary at the discretion and under the
direction of of the District Surveyor, Mr Collyns
undertaking to bear the coat thereof. It was resolved
that the District Surveyor be empowered to act as
requested by Mr Collyns, and Mr Collyns undertook
to repay the expense of his so doing."
The next meeting in April read; " The Surveyor
reported that he had served 80 notices to prune
hedges"
Dated 12th November 1887. " The Surveyor stated
that the inmates of the Union Workhouse had
already cracked 30 yards more than the specified
yearly quantity of 100 yards, and that the Master
asked for more as a large number of vagrants were
admitted. The Surveyor was directed to keep the
workhouse supplied with stones, and, it was decided
that on the next contract setting, the Dulverton Main
Road should be reserved so that stone broken at the
Workhouse might be utilised."(Our photo shows no
sign of stones being broken for the town these days!)
In 1883 we must have had street lighting in
Dulverton, as Mr Collyns was part of that Committee,
a very early player in street lighting, and a very
forward thinking Town as we are now. Not only that,
but we had a citizen willing to pay for a street cleaner
to keep our Town free of rubbish and manure which
was a problem due to the large amount of horse
traffic.
This referred to the building that now house's the
Exmoor National Park offices. We all might be
horrified to find that workhouse inmates were made
to break stones to pay their way whilst living in this
institution, but this was the norm in the latter part of
the 19th century.
Dated 14th November 1885. " A notice is to be
erected by Barle Bridge forbidding the passage of
vehicles over the Pound Path"
Don't forget this was a time before motor vehicles
were about on rural roads, there were traction
engines driven by steam and many horse drawn
CN. Dulverton Heritage Centre.

Dulverton Sports!
The severe weather continues to prevent most
teams from playing football throughout both
the Saturday & Sunday leagues.
Our Saturday team have only played one
fixture, away to Milverton, on 19 Dec, losing
1-2.
The Sunday team have played no games since
6 Dec !!
We hope to bring you a full report with our next
issue – snow rain etc. permitting

THE INVENTORS’
FAIR
Who said imagination is dead! It was certainly
given a good shakeup at Dulverton Middle
School when years 5 and 6 took part in an
Inventors’ Fair. Working in groups with a shared
iPad they read, ran, wrote and made exciting
additions to a story.
As the Orator said fan-tab - ulous isn’t really a word
but it seems for the children who took part it was a
FANTABULOUS day!
