Village Park and Play Area Update 30/06/2020
The vital repair work to the Parks is now underway.
All the various work which is now going on was scheduled sometime ago, however due to Covid-19 this was only able to commence in the last week.
Once all work is completed and safety inspections are made the Park will once again be open to the public.
You will find that various extra notices will be placed around the area to assist all members of the public when using the Park.
We hope that you can bear with us a little longer and rely on you to follow all current guidelines when using the Park once more.
Keep Safe.
Ipplepen Parish Council.

Clampitt Road Toilets – Update
The Clampitt Road Toilets will be open from Monday 22nd June 2020.
The toilets will be open from 08.00 -17.00 daily.
Please abide by the current 2m social distancing rule and the toilets are restricted to one person at a time.
Thank you for your co-operation during these difficult times.
Playing Field and Play Equipment – June Update
In line with current Government Guidance and for safety the play equipment remains out of order in accordance with the scientific and medical advice that the Covid -19 virus can remain on metal surfaces for up to 72 hours.
The Parish Council is taking the opportunity to carry out extensive maintenance and repair works to the play equipment and skatepark. The entrance and footpath has recently been relaid to improve access for residents.
The Parish Council would like to thank everyone who has co-operated and complied with the Government social distancing guidelines and who have helped in supporting our neighbours during the crisis.
We are assessing the advice daily and will open the facilities as soon as it is considered and advised it is safe to do so.
Extension to Local Plan Consultation and Temporary Change to the Statement of Community Involvement
The current consultation on Part 1 of the draft Local Plan for Teignbridge (2020-2040) was launched on 23rd March 2020. As a town or parish council, you will have hopefully received a notification from us in March to let you know about this alongside a paper copy of the Draft Local Plan and the Need to Know Guide.
Since the start of the consultation we have been carefully monitoring the situation regarding Covid-19 social distancing restrictions and the effect that this is having on our ability to consult effectively with our communities. So far, we have been very pleased with, and encouraged by, the number of people who have participated in the consultation and wish to thank all of you who have taken the time to get involved to date.
The government recently suggested that councils should update their 'Statement of Community Involvement' to expressly set out the different ways in which people are included in consultations, given that face to face meetings during the pandemic are not possible.
As such, we're updating the Statement that appears on our website and although this will not affect the substance of the consultation, we will extend the consultation to give people the statutory six weeks to comment after this change is made on 1 June.
Instead of closing on 15 June, the consultation, which launched on 23 March, will now run for a total of 16 weeks, closing on 13 July 2020.
The addendum to the Statement of Community Involvement can be viewed here.
Making the Plan available in your local area
Given the ongoing social distancing restrictions and the current closure of public buildings, it is a challenging time to raise awareness of the consultation for those people without access to the internet. As such, we are asking you, as the local leaders of your community, to help us in spreading the word and making the plan available for people in your communities to view.

Road Closure – A381 just outside of Totnes during week commencing 03/06/2020
Road closure on the A381 just outside of Totnes during the week commencing 03/06/2020. This is to carry out remedial work to the landslip that occurred earlier this year where traffic lights have been put on. The work is expected to finish on Friday 05/06/2020.
The work will safeguard that section of carriageway from further potential landslip debris/falls.
The official diversion route using roads of equivalent category is to take the A385 to Paignton, A380 to Newton Abbot, and rejoin the A381 out of Newton Abbot and vice-versa

COVID-19 – Update
A quick update following today's partial lifting of some of the Covid 19 lockdown measures which allows us all more freedom to travel for exercise.
The tennis courts are now available and you will see that fencing has been erected to provide a safe route to them via the kissing gate.
The Tennis Club Committee are responsible for bookings and the use of the courts.
However the remainder of the play equipment on all of Ipplepen sites continue to be closed in accordance with the Government Guidelines because current available evidence shows that the Covid 19 virus can remain on metal surfaces for up to 72 hours.
For personal safety and to prevent infection spread the public toilets also remain closed.
The Parish Council will of course open all facilities as changes to the advice from Government is received.
Thank you again for all of your support around the village and for keeping to the social distancing guidelines.

About Ipplepen
Ipplepen is a medium size village built on a limestone plateau south west of Newton Abbot. It has been development from an ancient core around the church of St.Andrews, surrounded by farms. The village is close to the A381 from Totnes to Newton Abbot in the District of Teignbridge. Many winding lanes approach the village from south, west and north, from unspoilt countryside.
