Three ways to help - your village needs you!
Oakford Villas to Back Lane Footpath - of direct importance to the village, we have an opportunity to turn the path between Oakford Villas and Back Lane into an official footpath, with the various protections that will come with that designation. This is a very useful short-cut, and also keeps people off of the road. It's important that you write/email to Miss Gatrell to express your support of the proposal and to explain how often you use it/how important it is to you. The closing date is 20th Feb 2026. Miss C Gatrell, Public Rights of Way Service, Devon County Council, Great Moor House, Bittern Road, Sowton, Exeter EX2 7NL. Email: caroline.gatrell@devon.gov.uk Telephone: Exeter (01392) 383240
Snow Warden - we still need a Snow Warden for North Molton Parish. This would entail coordinating the delivery of salt/grit and a team of volunteers (also needed for most areas) to take a few bags out to their local patch to fill the bins. We also have to find a location to put the bags of salt (inside) in the warmer seasons. If anyone would like to help, please contact the Clerk on clerk@northmoltonparish.gov.uk
Devon Library Services - there is also a consulation on the future of libraries in Devon, end date of 22nd February 2026. Go to https://devonlibraries.commonplace.is/en-GB/
