Richard Foord MP
Speaking in Parliament recently, our MP urged the government to get behind local authorities in creating safe routes for pupils to get to school. He specifically mentioned the need for a cycle path from Sidford to Sidbury and the Otter Trail, which are both schemes that we’ve been supporting.

Byes Foot/Cycle Bridge
The bridge over the Woolbrook, between Margarets Meadow and The Byes, will be closed next week for repairs. A diversion will be signed via Livonia Road, along the main Sidford Road and Lymebourne Lane.

This Sportive will be taking place on Sunday 18 May. Starting from Budleigh Cricket Club and coming down Peak Hill into Sidmouth between 8.30 and 10am. Riders will then split, with some going to the Bowd and others going up Salcombe Hill towards Branscombe.
