Tiverton Town Council -

Rural Connection Programme

The Rural Connection is the Devon and Somerset County Council's fantastic new subsidy scheme to help eradicate rural not-spots for homes and businesses in their Counties, and it was launched on 23rd November 2011.

The Deal

A key fact to understand is that the Grant is available on a first come, first served basis. It's likely to therefore be limited to around just 1,050 homes, households or businesses. 

Winter Resilience

It seems a strange word to use doesn't it, 'resilience' but necessary preparedness for the winter is upon us.

We all know there isn't quite as much money out there in local authority land as there use to be and we all have to show willing and lend a hand during weather crises. Snow, you either love it or loathe it, it can cause incredible inconvenience or you walk to work for a couple of days a year. Salting public roads and pavements is an ever decreasing circle and last year the Town Council rolled up its sleeves and got stuck in and tried to fill the gap between your front door and the nearest salted main road.
