Landkey Village

With thanks to those who took part in the "Landkey - Shaping Our Future" survey at the end of last year, we are now able to report the results which we obtained in this document:

Improvement work on the North Devon Link is now proceeding and will eventually lead to better road connections. While the work is under way, though, it will mean some inconvenience for motorists. This will largely involve a reduced speed limit through the roadworks and occasional diversions through Landkey to accommodate abnormal loads. Details are given in these documents:

• NDLR Engineering work update June 2023
• Diversions due to abnormal loads, 17th June 2021

The shop which Creighton Kirk and his family have opened in The Castle Inn has been dubbed "Our Creight's Stores", after Arkwright's shop in "Open All Hours". The name seems to have stuck!

Creighton is now selling daily newspapers from 8am and accepts payment by vouchers in the same way that Janette did at Lyncroft Stores. There is also a small range of essential items available for sale.

In a new venture, they will be hosting an outreach Post Office service on Thursdays, starting on 8th December 2022 and running each week from 9:30am until 12:30 pm.

Creighton, his wife Sharon and daughter Madison are doing the village a commendable service in taking on some of the functions of the shop and I, probably like many others, wish them every success.

We do not have any new News Blogs at present, but ...

Landkey Parish Council encourages village residents to make use of the facilities that are available to all on this website. If there is an issue that concerns village life that you feel needs to be addressed, place it on the "Your Point of View" page and it will be sent to a parish councillor who will reply, if you ask for a response.

You might also like to add an item of news to the News Blog page or to upload an image. If, so, simply contact the web administrator on the email address below and ask for a login facility.

The Parish Council also welcomes the addition of village events to the "Events Calendar". The calendar is shared with St Paul's Church (as church events are also village events) and it would be good to have more events listed from the village in general. If you have an event that you would like to place, feel free to enter it on the "Add Event" page.

If you would like to submit events, blogs or Points of View regularly, you might prefer to obtain a login facility as this will enable you to subsequently edit your data if required or to add from a stored template to save time. To obtain a login facility, contact Charles at cerwaldron@gmail.com.
