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 />

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 />

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 />
Register your Co-op membership card – or<br />
become a member if you are not already one<br />
Select your chosen charity at<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 />
