Date Item Status
22/5/07 HARBERTON PARISH COUNCIL
The Parish Council has again received complaints from residents in Harbertonford about an increase in dog fouling.
Areas of particular concern are Bow Road between Marl Park to Old Road, the road to the Village Hall and Woodcourt Road.
It is the responsibility of owners to ensure that any mess their dogs leave is removed and deposited in a safe and hygienic manner.
Please remember that dog faeces are a potential health hazard – especially to children. It’s also against the law and the Council has alerted the South Hams District Council’s Dog Warden to the situation.
Consider others and do the right thing …
CLEAN UP!
 
7/8/06 HARBERTON PARISH COUNCIL
Parish Councillors have been liaising with Totnes Police about the personal safety and well-being of residents in both Harberton and Harbertonford.
The Police have assured the Parish Council that nobody should feel intimidated into silence when they have concerns about criminal and anti-social behaviour that cause them anxiety. They wish to know of all such incidents and guarantee that all reports will be dealt with in the utmost confidence.
Everyone in the community should report instances of disturbances, trespass, intimidation and harassment to the Police on 08452 777444. Although you may think an event is not serious enough to ring in, you are urged to do so, as such reports help the Police to build up a picture of what is going on in our villages and their staffing levels are influenced accordingly.
The Police also stress that everyone should feel free to dial 999 whenever they regard the situation as serious and require an immediate response.
At the last Parish Council meeting PC Dunn confirmed that foot and vehicle patrols will be undertaken on a regular and frequent basis.
Currently, the officers dealing with matters in our two villages are Sgt Hopper and PC Dunn. Please ask for reports to be passed to them for action.

18/9/05 HARBERTON PARISH COUNCIL
Devon County Council have written to the Parish Council about their concern over the erection of temporary roadside signs advertising local events, as they can be a distraction to motorists.
Please remember that DCC have the power to remove unauthorised signs, but they are willing to be flexible if two basic rules are followed. These are:
• Signs must not be erected sooner than 3 days before the event and removed no later than 2 days afterwards and
• A contact name and telephone number is put on the reverse of each sign.
Thank you for your co-operation.
 
18/9/05 HARBERTON PARISH COUNCIL
The Council is concerned that some residents in the centre of Harberton are still parking carelessly, despite requests to take more care.
Lately, the areas of St Clement’s / St Andrew’s Terraces and the road in front of Ford Farm round to Harberton House have been causing difficulties. In the case of the latter, the road was impassable to cars.
Please remember that thoughtless parking may result in vehicles being damaged in narrow sections, not to mention restrictions for emergency services when delays could be critical.
The Council again asks for consideration of others in this matter and, wherever possible, off-street parking be used. This will not only improve traffic flow, but reduce hazards for pedestrians.
Thank you for your co-operation.
 
23/7/05 HARBERTON PARISH COUNCIL
There is a continuing problem with dogs fouling public areas in both Harberton and Harbertonford – mainly by dogs who are left to roam unsupervised by their owners.
Residents are reminded that all public areas are subject to anti-fouling rules and not just designated area as previously. Also, that litter laws have recently changed.
South Hams District Council have powers to impose penalties for both dog fouling and littering – and will be using them.
BE WARNED!
Thank you for your co-operation and consideration of others.
 
21/2/05

HARBERTON PARISH COUNCIL
The Parish Council is again concerned at the irresponsible attitude of many dog owners. Many areas are being spoiled by dog faeces being left in public areas, rather than being “scooped” and disposed of properly.
In particular, Bow Road from Harbertonford to the Beenleigh turn-off, between the road and the woods, has been blighted by excrement which has not been cleared up.
REMEMBER! These droppings, as well as being unpleasant, are a health hazard – especially for children.
The South Hams District Council Dog Warden will be advised about dogs fouling any areas within the Parish and the owners can be prosecuted.
Please be considerate – clean up after your dog so that others can enjoy our countryside safely and cleanly.
Thank you!
