Tiverton Town Council -

Tiverton In Bloom 2013

TIVERTON IN BLOOM are asking the community to come together and paint the town with vibrant, warm and inviting colours this year.

The In Bloom committee, which is part of Tiverton Town Council, are looking for businesses and individuals to help by sponsoring a basket – whether it be the full amount or just a fraction towards the cost.

The first organisation to sign up for a hanging basket is the Hospiscare shop on Bampton Street.

Hospiscare Shop Assistant Manager Cllr Janet Smith said "Although the charity itself has not paid towards the cost of a basket, volunteers in the shop came together to buy one on behalf of the store".

Council Grit Bins

The County Council grit bins were serviced and refilled by Devon County Council's contractors in the autumn, with the majority being filled by the end of September.

This included all bins identified on the DCC inventory, which lists grit bins authorised to be sited on highway land.

There are other grit bins which have still not been identified on the inventory and may not be the responsibility of Devon County Council to fill. These may include bins in District or Parish Council ownership.

Join in and join up our canal!

It's been a disaster, that fact cannot be avoided but it could have been a lot worse.

One thing this event has done is to bring all communities who enjoy the canal together to save it. Tiverton is one such community and we want to make a big contribution towards the repair fund.

During the coming month's a lot of activity to fund raise and to keep the Grand Western canal in the public eye will be happening and the town and the council will play its part. This is a truly joined up campaign to join up our canal again!
