Call For Greater Protection for Historic Buildings
The Architects Journal have written a thoughtful article about the wanton destruction of a rare 17th century ceiling in Bristol, calling for greater protection for features in unlisted buildings.
Tiverton EUE New A361 Junction Phase 1
Griffiths, the civil engineering and construction company responsible for constructing the left in/left out junction, have issued an information leaflet, and many local residents will have received a copy.
Letter Concerning Tiverton Eastern Urban Extension
Christopher Bell and TCS member Dennis Cook have written another excellent letter to the Tiverton Gazette: Letter Tiverton Gazette 4 July 2017 . This reflects our own views, and, no doubt, those of many others: if developed, as now planned, the road traffic from Eastern Urban Extension could have disastrous implications for Blundell’s School and residents in Blundell’s Road. The full A361 junction must be built well before 1,000 houses are built, and before Area B is started!
