Annual Meeting Report June 2014

Firstly thank you to all of you who attended our annual meeting.

Our President, Chris Ingram updated us on The Granite Way opening a new section at Bridestowe Station, providing Multi Use access including Horse Riders. This gives a new route onto Dartmoor.

We had four Wardens who provided a wealth of information on Public Rights of Way and how to contact them in the event of an access problem.

From Devon County Council, Helen Clayton and John Baker kindly attended. If you have a problem or want to raise a query always report to Devon County Council using their fault reporting service customer@devon.gov.uk.

Helen Clayton can be contacted via helen.clayton@devon.gov.co.uk. Please always use the complaints email first or as well because this will officially log the issue and if you don’t get a satisfactory answer let us know as we will follow it up for you.

The Dartmoor National Park Ranger was Robert Taylor. He can be contacted via rtaylor@dartmoor-npa.gov.uk or 01626 104542 or 07711104542.

The Forestry Commission Ranger was Tim Powle. He can be contacted via tim.powles@forestry.gsi.gov.uk or 01392 854251 or 07990848720.

All of these people were most helpful and informative and displayed a keen wish to assist us with our problems. It may be that your problem is not covered by them as individuals but they will ensure that your problem gets to the right person. You should always get a response. Please keep us informed as to what is going on.

The evening also included a Fun Quiz, which got the brain cells working!, a Raffle, Refreshments and the opportunity to talk to the Wardens individually.
