JANUARY <strong>2020</strong> 7<br />

Road closure - Station Hill, <strong>Lynton</strong><br />

Work will be taking place on Station Hill, <strong>Lynton</strong><br />

starting 6 <strong>January</strong> <strong>2020</strong>. Work will be carried out<br />

under a full road closure but when safe it will be<br />

reduced to two-way traffic lights.<br />

The work will run until the start of April <strong>2020</strong>.<br />

What are we doing?<br />

Along Station Hill in <strong>Lynton</strong> there is a section of<br />

highway (40 meters) which is showing serious signs<br />

of cracking <strong>and</strong> has deteriorated over time. No<br />

existing edge support to the carriageway has been<br />

identified <strong>and</strong> in addition, there is no suitable road<br />

restraint system in place to protect vehicles from the<br />

road edge. To repair the carriageway <strong>and</strong> provide long-lasting support a mass<br />

concrete retaining wall will be constructed, which will be finished with a masonry<br />

parapet to protect vehicles from the steep bank below. Resurfacing of the<br />

highway will also be carried out.<br />

Traffic management<br />

The traffic management will be in the form of a full road closure which will be in<br />

place 24/7. This road closure will be in action for much of the scheme to<br />

safeguard both the contractor <strong>and</strong> members of the public.<br />

However, if possible, we may consider the use of two-way traffic lights to allow<br />

the road to be reopened earlier than anticipated.<br />

Diversion routes<br />

For this closure we have provided one diversion route for both a light vehicle <strong>and</strong><br />

HGV (heavy goods vehicle) to use. Both diversion routes (Station Hill <strong>and</strong> B3234)<br />

can be found on one.network which will display the exact routes. Please note<br />

one.network requires you to create an account to view future <strong>and</strong> proposed work.<br />

Can I claim compensation?<br />

There is no legal obligation or express statutory authority that enables Devon<br />

County Council to compensate for increased costs or any financial loss suffered<br />

as a result of the traffic management in place. While every effort is made to<br />

inconvenience the public as little as possible there are times when however<br />

regrettable interruptions cannot be avoided. If you would like any further<br />

information, please contact our Customer Service Centre on 0345 155 1004.<br />

Some h<strong>and</strong>y travel apps<br />

Dear Readers.<br />

Welcome to <strong>2020</strong>! I hope you had an exciting Christmas with lots of techy items.<br />

Having been away over Christmas I thought it might be a good time to look at my top<br />

four free <strong>and</strong> paid for travel apps.<br />

SkyScanner First we have to find some flights. This fab app can locate not only the<br />

flight times <strong>and</strong> prices but can also with a little filtering, show you the cheapest<br />

flights for the whole month. This is useful if you have holiday to take <strong>and</strong> aren't sure<br />

when would be best.<br />

Kayak Similar to booking.com <strong>and</strong> hotels.com but combined power. Great for<br />

searching for last minutes breaks as well as looking for train prices. All in one<br />

please!<br />

FlightRadar24 There are two versions. One is free <strong>and</strong> limited <strong>and</strong> the other for just<br />

a few pounds is an upgrade to the all singing, all dancing app. The full version will<br />

allow you to point your camera at a plane in the sky for it to be identified (useful if<br />

you want to see which plane is coming in to l<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> if it’s time to go to the airport),<br />

live arrivals <strong>and</strong> departure boards, plane type, <strong>and</strong> my favourite is where the aircraft<br />

is <strong>and</strong> how fast it is going!<br />

Google Translate I know this seems obvious but did you know the translate app can<br />

also translate signs on the fly? I was in Madrid a few months back <strong>and</strong> although my<br />

Spanish is reasonable I could not for the life of me underst<strong>and</strong> a sign at the station.<br />

Point the camera <strong>and</strong> instantly you know what the sign is about. The added ‘bonus’<br />

for Google Translate is firstly you can download a dictionary for offline translations<br />

(if you don’t mind typing things in) <strong>and</strong> secondly with a data connection you can also<br />

voice translate. It will not only translate <strong>and</strong> dictate in the required language but will<br />

also reverse translate to you into English. That’s very h<strong>and</strong>y!<br />

As always, if you have any queries or questions, please do get in touch at<br />

ICT@lyntonadvertiser.com<br />

WINTER IS COMING – WAYS TO STAY WELL<br />

Say no to norovirus this winter<br />

Norovirus, also called the "winter vomiting bug", is a<br />

stomach bug that causes vomiting <strong>and</strong> diarrhoea. It can be<br />

very unpleasant, but usually goes away in about 2 days.<br />

This infection can live on hard surfaces for weeks <strong>and</strong> spreads<br />

very quickly through environments where lots of people are<br />

mingling closely, such as hospitals, schools <strong>and</strong> nurseries.<br />

Alcohol or antibacterial h<strong>and</strong> gels are a popular choice for<br />

people wanting to protect themselves from the bugs that circulate during winter. However most<br />

people don’t realise that h<strong>and</strong> gels are NOT an effective protection against this common sickness<br />

bug.<br />

The best way to protect yourself <strong>and</strong> others from catching this unpleasant sickness bug is simply<br />

to wash your h<strong>and</strong>s thoroughly with warm soapy water, <strong>and</strong> to keep the environment you live <strong>and</strong><br />

work in clean.<br />

Have you had your flu jab yet?<br />

It takes between 10 <strong>and</strong> 14 days for your immune system<br />

to respond fully after you have had the flu vaccine, which is<br />

why it is important to have your vaccine early in the flu<br />

season.<br />

For most people flu will clear up on its own relatively<br />

quickly, but for some people, including over 65s, pregnant<br />

women or people with underlying health conditions, it can<br />

be more serious. The flu vaccine is available on the NHS for:<br />

adults 65 <strong>and</strong> over<br />

people with certain medical conditions<br />

pregnant women<br />

children aged 2 <strong>and</strong> 3<br />

children in primary school<br />

frontline health or social care workers<br />

If you are eligible, you can get yours free at your GP surgery or a local pharmacy.<br />

NHS App - book appointments <strong>and</strong> manage prescriptions<br />

Are you one of the 4,000 people in Devon who have already<br />

downloaded the new NHS App?<br />

Wherever you are, 24/7, the NHS App allows you to book,<br />

cancel <strong>and</strong> track appointments at your GP surgery with ease.<br />

You can order repeat prescriptions, view your GP medical record,<br />

<strong>and</strong> quickly check symptoms, plus access to NHS 111 online<br />

means no more wondering if you need urgent attention.<br />

You can download it free from Android <strong>and</strong> Apple app stores.<br />

16 JANUARY <strong>2020</strong><br />

Save your broken possessions for UK’s largest-ever<br />

repair café<br />

Devon’s residents are being urged to hang on to<br />

their broken possessions after the Christmas<br />

holidays so they can be fixed at what promises to<br />

be the largest repair café ever held.<br />

The Big Fix <strong>2020</strong> will be held on Saturday February<br />

15, <strong>and</strong> will see up to 109 repair cafés across the<br />

UK being held simultaneously.<br />

The national event is being coordinated by Devon County Council <strong>and</strong> follows the<br />

success of The Big Fix last year when volunteers broke the record for the number of<br />

items repaired at a single repair café.<br />

Both events are examples of Devon County Council’s commitment to ensure that<br />

Devon becomes a net-zero county.<br />

Repair cafés are community events where skilled volunteer fixers donate their time<br />

once a month to help members of their local community fix broken household objects.<br />

Everything from sewing, electrical items, furniture repairs <strong>and</strong> mechanical issues can<br />

be covered for a small donation towards the costs of the repair café. These are often<br />

items which people may not be able to afford to get fixed or not sure how to do it<br />

themselves <strong>and</strong> are brought back to life <strong>and</strong> saved from the bin.<br />

Repair cafés also have a second, equally valuable role as meeting places where<br />

anybody can sit down <strong>and</strong> have a chat.<br />

Councillor Andrea Davis, Devon County Council’s Cabinet Member for Infrastructure<br />

<strong>and</strong> Waste said: “Climate concerns are causing more people to look at the way they<br />

live <strong>and</strong> ask what can I do to help the environment? One way is to recycle more, reuse<br />

more <strong>and</strong> repair more. Extending the life of a hairdryer, repairing a garment or<br />

upcycling a sofa is something everybody can do to help the environment. And it saves<br />

you money. Buying new every time something breaks or gets old simply isn’t<br />

sustainable.”<br />

Wildlife in winter<br />

Here's how you can lend a helping h<strong>and</strong> to<br />

wildlife in winter:<br />

Feeding birds in winter Birds may have<br />

difficulty finding normal food in winter. To<br />

help them stay strong leave out extra food.<br />

Helping badgers in severe weather Badgers<br />

don't hibernate but do sleep through most of<br />

the severe weather. Nibbles such as lightly<br />

cooked meats, cheese, peanuts <strong>and</strong> fruit<br />

would be welcome.<br />

Help stock a squirrel's store Squirrels store<br />

food to eat when food is scarce. To help<br />

squirrels offer hazelnuts, walnuts <strong>and</strong><br />

almonds, plus chopped apple, beans,<br />

carrots or spinach.<br />

Melting frozen ponds Toxic gases can build<br />

up in frozen ponds killing fish or frogs which<br />

may be hiding at the bottom. If you have a<br />

pond check it every day for ice.<br />

JANUARY <strong>2020</strong> 33<br />

As evening approached near Glenthorne<br />

A short story in four parts<br />

written by Richard Small, a North Devon author<br />

He parked his car on the desolate earth lay-by just before County Gate <strong>and</strong><br />

set off on foot in search of adventure.<br />

His mind was taken by a sign that read, ‘Site of ancient Barrow’. It took<br />

longer than anticipated but he eventually found the site <strong>and</strong> stood on a high point<br />

<strong>and</strong> enjoyed the comm<strong>and</strong>ing view of the valleys around, just as they who built it<br />

must have done.<br />

His plan was changing all the time but he was enjoying it all so much, the<br />

view, the air, the sunshine. . . that raw connection with nature itself. He decided to<br />

walk further afield <strong>and</strong> downhill towards the beach some one mile distant. At first<br />

his way was barred by thick undergrowth <strong>and</strong> fences but he eventually found a<br />

suitable track.<br />

His effort was rewarded. Glenthorne beach was surreally beautiful <strong>and</strong><br />

obviously rarely visited. He rested a while, looking at patterns in the stones <strong>and</strong> the<br />

antics of a friendly Robin. Perhaps he’d stayed too long but it was such a wonderful<br />

day <strong>and</strong> he was sure he could easily retrace his steps. It was a relentless but<br />

steady 3,000 feet climb back to the road where he had earlier ab<strong>and</strong>oned his car.<br />

First he had to climb over a fallen tree <strong>and</strong> l<strong>and</strong> slip that blocked the path <strong>and</strong> had<br />

nearly kept him from reaching the beach. It was a climb for a younger man than he<br />

but the day was good <strong>and</strong> there seemed a touch of misplaced youth in his being.<br />

So far so good, he’d taken a track which he believed would meet up with the<br />

one he’d used for the descent. He felt he’d reached about a third of the way but a<br />

quick glance at the lowering sun told him he’d better get on with it, no more dilly<br />

dallying, time for some serious walking.<br />

After a few minutes, he stopped to catch his breath <strong>and</strong> looked back to view<br />

his progress. Horror of horrors, he was on the wrong track, he was climbing on the<br />

wrong side of the wooded valley … he needed to be the other side, on the far hill,<br />

damn it all.<br />

With misplaced confidence exceeding questionable ability, he decided to cut<br />

across country through the woods, taking a straight line for where he thought he’d<br />

find his car. It was to turn out to be one of life’s more regrettable decisions.<br />

To be continued<br />

Regal to benefit from Co-op<br />

Local Community Fund<br />

The Co-op in Minehead has chosen the Regal<br />

Theatre to benefit from their Local Community<br />

Fund for one year until October <strong>2020</strong> – a whole<br />

year of opportunity to help raise funds for our<br />

much-loved community theatre. If past<br />

beneficiaries are a guide we could raise more<br />

than £3,000 through the scheme – BUT this<br />

depends heavily on your help!<br />

Every time you use your membership card to<br />

buy Co-op own br<strong>and</strong> products, along with<br />

unbr<strong>and</strong>ed things like fruit <strong>and</strong> vegetables, 5%<br />

of the money you spend goes into your<br />

membership account for you <strong>and</strong>, on top of<br />

that, a further 1% of your spend goes to<br />

support your chosen cause – i.e. the Regal.<br />

So, do please:<br />

JANUARY <strong>2020</strong> 37<br />

Christ Church, Parracombe<br />

Christmas Tree Festival A Christmas Tree Festival was<br />

held in Christ Church, Parracombe over three days during the<br />

second weekend of December. Trees were sponsored <strong>and</strong><br />

decorated, some by individuals <strong>and</strong> families, but also by some<br />

local businesses <strong>and</strong> groups. There were also produce stalls<br />

from local suppliers selling Christmas gifts <strong>and</strong> h<strong>and</strong>made<br />

cards, honey <strong>and</strong> plants. Combined proceeds from sponsorship<br />

of the trees <strong>and</strong> donations from the stalls raised a total of just over £670. Although the<br />

weather probably reduced the numbers visiting, for those there it was an enjoyable weekend.<br />

Nine Lessons <strong>and</strong> Carols Christ Church welcomed a very large congregation who had<br />

defied the weather to attend the annual service of Nine<br />

Lessons <strong>and</strong> Carols. Late comers had difficulty finding a seat<br />

<strong>and</strong> for some it was st<strong>and</strong>ing room only. Singing was<br />

supported by the Christmas Choir who opened the service in<br />

the traditional way with the first verse of Once in Royal<br />

David's City <strong>and</strong> later sang three solo pieces including a lively<br />

version of Mary's Boy Child - think Boney M! - Thank you to all<br />

members of the choir <strong>and</strong> their director/conductor Bish Muir for their support <strong>and</strong> many hours<br />

rehearsal. Many of the readings were given by pupils of West <strong>Exmoor</strong> Federation, thank you to<br />

the children <strong>and</strong> their headteacher, Jane Peacock. Refreshments were served by members of<br />

the PCC <strong>and</strong> friends, for which thanks. Service was conducted by Rev Samantha <strong>and</strong> the<br />

organist was Roger Martin. Proceeds from the collection were shared with Clarity North Devon,<br />

a charity supporting young people with mental health problems, <strong>and</strong> Children's Hospice South<br />

West.<br />

Christ Church welcomed the <strong>Exmoor</strong> Carolers for an<br />

evening of music <strong>and</strong> song. At the start of the evening we were<br />

told that John Wesley would encourage his congregations to<br />

"sing lustily" <strong>and</strong> we should do the same. Indeed, there was<br />

enthusiastic encouragement of audience participation by their<br />

leader <strong>and</strong> musical director, Rupert Kirby. Each item was<br />

introduced by one of the Carolers who explained the origin of<br />

the carol <strong>and</strong> how the Carolers came to add it to their programme. At the end of the evening,<br />

Reverend Samantha thanked the group <strong>and</strong> said that such events were an important part of<br />

the Christmas programme <strong>and</strong> the fund raising helped with maintenance costs of small village<br />

churches. Proceeds from the sale of cd’s <strong>and</strong> the raffle were donated to the Carolers' chosen<br />

charities, this year Over <strong>and</strong> Above Hospital Charity, See Hear Centre <strong>and</strong><br />

@www.ageconcernbarnstaple.org.uk. The evening proceeds of the raffle were £142. Thank<br />

you to the Carolers, all those who attended <strong>and</strong> supported, <strong>and</strong> members of the PCC for<br />

organising the refreshments.<br />
