Northam Town Council is consulting on plans for a new Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) at Westward Ho!, next to the existing tennis courts.

The proposed facility would provide a safe, modern space for football, basketball, netball, fitness activities and informal recreation, helping to improve opportunities for sport and physical activity within the community.

We'd like to hear your thoughts before any decisions are made.

Making a new plan for northern Devon

A local plan is an important document which local authorities have to produce to set out the long-term strategy and vision for their area.

It sets out how we want our towns and villages to grow, where new homes, shops and workplaces might be built, and how we’ll protect our exceptional landscapes while tackling important issues like transport, flooding and climate change. Local plans are used alongside national policy and other local strategies to determine which developments will and won’t be allowed.

The northern Devon joint local plan covers the North Devon and Torridge local planning authority areas. Our current plan covers 2011-2031, and as we come to the end of its life, we are now preparing our next version, under the joint People and Place project. Our new plan will be called A Plan for Northern Devon.

Thank you for your interest, we look forward to working with you to shape the future of the place we call home.

Our Maintenance Team have been busy over the last few weeks planting up planters, hanging baskets, and flower beds around the Parish

This has included two newly planted beds in Westward Ho!, which will soon begin to establish and burst into colour over the coming weeks.

A huge amount of work goes into preparing and maintaining the displays each year, helping to keep the Parish looking its best for residents and visitors alike.

Thank you to the team for all their hard work
