Latest News Updates & Completed Projects
In January the Parish Precept was set for 2019/20. An increase of £1,200 was made to raise the Precept to £14,000. This is the equivalent of £2.25 per year to the average band D property. It is felt that with this increase to the Precept the Parish Council can improve facilities within the Parish such as Fernworthy Play Area.
Copplestone Primary School Yellow Lines
Yellow lines to make the roads safer outside Copplestone Primary School have been put in place.
The Parish Council & the school have been working closely with Devon County Council and now children, staff and parents are happy with the results.
In a recent interview with the Crediton Courier Stuart Penny, chairman, Copplestone Parish Council, said: “The parish council was very aware of the dangers caused by vehicles being parked opposite the school during peak times. Children were being forced to cross the road between parked cars, large agricultural vehicles and heavy goods vehicles struggling to pass parked cars and then having to mount footpaths to make their turn, putting yet more children at risk.
The whole situation was a serious accident waiting to happen and Copplestone Parish Council takes road safety seriously.
