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 21st November 2023
• Diversions due to abnormal loads, 17th June 2021
• North Aller to Landkey diversion map

Creighton is now selling daily newspapers from 9 am 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.

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.
