Village Noticeboard

09:30hrs. Just spotted Road Closed sign in Ash Lane above The Steep. More once further information available.

A perusal of the planning application https://planning.agileapplications.co.uk/exmoor/application-details/9785 shows that the consultation period ends on Sept 1st, and that recent letters have been sent out to nearby interested parties, e.g. neighbours - possibly related to the report on the landscape impact which has been updated in the past fortnight. I must admit to being uninformed about this, but perhaps the project is being resurrected? Past correspondence on the application have suggested this will just be for emergency use, which seems disappointing, and that the CPRE and Exmoor society, backed by the Parish Council, were against the location though not necessarily the need for something similar. Interested in peoples opinions on this, and why would it have just been for emergency services rather than providing mobile phone signal to the village? Do people actually want mobile phone access?

Ash Lane is closed either side of The Steep from tonight (Thursday) until possibly Monday to allow for water leakage repair. No notice or warning was given.
