BAY VIEW CAFE – COMMUNITY ASSET OF VALUE
There was an impromptu gathering of parishioners at ‘Mariners’, home of Pat & Jim Chadwick, immediately above Bay Cafe, on 20th June to celebrate the listing of Bay View Cafe as an Asset of Community Value by SHDC. The gathering took place at very short notice and, therefore, was only a small representation of the strength of feeling in the parish that the cafe or something like it, should be retained for the enjoyment of this idyllic setting by residents and visitors alike.
BAY CAFE LISTED AS AN ASSET OF COMMUNITY VALUE
Congratulations all round!

THEFTS FROM VANS
Witness appeal after thefts from vans
Police are appealing for information after Ford transit vans in South Devon have been targeted by thieves.
This week alone there have been multiple thefts in Paignton and Brixham. Thefts have also occurred in Newton Abbot.
On each occasion the van was entered by means unknown or broken into and valuable power tools and hand tools worth thousands of pounds were stolen. There have been other similar crimes in Devon with a similar method used, and police believe that a vehicle linked to these crimes is a silver estate vehicle, possibly an Audi or Ford Mondeo.
We would like to hear from anyone offered second-hand power tools for sale.
Please consider removing valuable tools from vehicles, particularly overnight.
Anyone with information, or CCTV in the areas mentioned, is asked to contact police via 101@dc.police.uk, or by telephone on 101.
RECYCLING: CHANGE IN REGULATIONS FOR BLUE SACKS
Cartons Can Now be Recycled in Blue Sack Collections
31 May 2017
The frustration we have all felt when we finish a juice or milk carton and can’t put it in our recycling bags, has now come to an end.
From now on, South Hams residents can recycle the coated food and drink cartons in their blue recycling sacks.
This will be welcomed by many residents, who until now, could only take this kind of packaging to recycling banks and recycling centres.
Neil Greenhalgh, Operational Manager for Waste, explains the change: “We have listened to residents, reviewed suggestions, and made changes based on this feedback.
“This is a major milestone for recycling in the South Hams. Residents already recycle a lot of cartons at recycling banks and this will enable residents to recycle at home as well.
“When recycling coated cartons, it just takes two easy steps. First, rinse and squash the carton then pop them straight into the blue sack. Caps can be left on, because these are removed during the recycling process.”
In the UK, cartons are used for food and drink packaging and on average UK residents use 57,000 tonnes of cartons a year, roughly 2.4kg per household.
Cartons, such as Tetra Pak, are mainly made from wood fibre, which is a natural renewable resource. They are a low carbon packaging choice comprised of 75% paperboard, 20% plastic & 5% aluminium, and they are 100% recyclable.
Cartons collected go to the carton recycling plant in Halifax. The process takes advantage of the strength and quality of the wood fibres found in cartons by turning them into industrial-strength cardboard. This is then made into 100% recycled tubes and cores which are used as centres for wrapping products such as cabling, plastic film and wrapping paper.
