Food Parcels Delivered to Vulnerable

Food Parcels

We have now delivered the first food parcles to those people who are being shielded because they are most at risk from COVID-19. This work is being done as part of the network of shielding hubs across Devon.

If you think you fall into one of the categories of extremely vulnerable people and you have not received a letter by Sunday 29 March 2020 or been contacted by your GP, you should discuss your concerns with your GP or hospital clinician.

If you’re not sure whether your medical condition makes you extremely vulnerable, click on the link below.


Abandoned Vehicles and Fly Tips - Service Update

Abandoned Vehicle

The Council will record the details and locations of any abandoned vehicles reported to us and will investigate the ownership of the vehicle and arrange for the vehicles removal when removal services and breakers yards are able to operate safely.

Any fly tips reported to us will also be recorded, investigated and removed when we can safely do so. We still maintain a zero tolerance policy on environmental crime offences and will fine offenders where possible.

Stop Loan Sharks Support

Stop Loan Sharks

The Stop Loan Sharks team can help anyone who is having difficulties in this area. They are the only Government agency in the UK who have the power to investigate and prosecute loan sharks and illegal money lenders.

Residents are not in trouble if they have borrowed cash or have been paying back a loan from an illegal money lender, the loan shark is. They are the people committing a crime, not our residents.

By encouraging any of our residents who are experiencing difficulties to look on the Stop Loan Sharks website, they have taken the first step to getting their life back and managing their money and debts. The Stop Loan Sharks will keep residents safe while they investigate the loan shark.

Please share the website on the link below with your friends, groups and residents.
