CROWDED WATERS – AVON ESTUARY
At an extraordinary meeting of the Avon Estuary Forum on 16th Feb 2021, the issue of the explosion in the popularity of walking along the estuary bed, of outdoor swimming and in the use of SUPs, canoes and kayaks was addressed.
It was agreed:-
1. the buoys and associated signs marking the water ski zone would be renewed with the collaboration of the ski club and the Salcombe Harbourmaster
2. Better communications with the public via social media and with local organisations running courses or hiring equipment would be employed to improve safety and the important matter of biosecurity.
As part of this safety campaign, advisory Codes of Conduct for all three types of activity will be published on the Aune Conservation Association website, accessible via the following QR Code:-
The Avon (Aune) Estuary is a priceless environmental asset. It is a County Wildlife Site and Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ) with its shallow waters, extensive mudflats, and saltmarshes. All of these features are of exceptional ecological value to important populations of fish, invertebrates, migratory birds and waterfowl.
It is vital these habitats remain undisturbed; educating all estuary users is a first step in managing these areas for the benefit of all. Historically, the Avon Estuary has always been highly valued as a place for quiet contemplation and reflection on natural beauty. All users of the estuary are asked to respect these values: in these difficult COVID times, they are more priceless than ever.

Rural Crime
The Devon and Cornwall police rural affairs team have produced a calendar which highlights rural issues throughout the year to focus problem solving activity for police, partners and public with key messages and prevention activity, this month’s theme is Illegal off-road riding and driving.
Why is this important?
Illegal off-road riding and driving cause real damage to the landscape, heritage sites and can harm livestock. The use of vehicles off-road without authority is an offence, causes anti-social issues and in some cases the vehicles are uninsured and illegal for use on the road.
What do you need to do?
Under the Road Traffic Act using a mechanically propelled vehicle without lawful authority on common land, moorland, on any footpath or bridleway is an offence. Ensure you have permission to carry out the activity. Members of the public should be vigilant reporting incidents to the police.
How can you prevent this?
• Be aware of where you are riding/driving and ensure you have permission. Your vehicle could be seized.
• Drive responsibly, anticipate hazards, ensure your vehicle is road worthy.
• Landowners can consider securing entrances and the use of appropriate signage.
• Notify the police using 999 if you suspect an offence is being committed and the offenders are still on scene.
• If you have any information about illegal off-road riding or driving please email 101@dc.police.uk, call the non-emergency number, 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 783 0137.
• Join Devon & Cornwall Alert, Watch schemes and local social media groups so that you can find out what is happening in your area.
