OIL THEFT REPORTED

March 20, 2018 Leave a Comment Written by Stuart Watts
OIL THEFT REPORTED

A large quantity of oil has been reported as stolen from the oil tank situated at Orchard House in Ringmore.

The oil has been removed by unknown means and the dates currently not specific as there is no damage to the tank itself and the theft only discovered during a ‘top up’ delivery.

If anyone has any knowledge or happened to see anything unusual occurring at or around the property in the past few weeks please contact  me or call the police on 101 quoting crime reference number CR/023001/18.

Needless to say be aware and make sure that you have someone keep an eye on your property (may not be just limited to oil theft of course) especially if you are away.

Stay safe.

SAVE MONEY with the DEVON OIL COLLECTIVE

November 25, 2016 Leave a Comment Written by Stuart Watts

All year round fuel savings with the Devon Oil Collective

The Devon Oil Collective was set up by Devon Communities Together in 2012, for those living in communities across Devon that use heating oil in their homes, community buildings or businesses, as a way of ensuring that the hard task of finding the cheapest oil to purchase is done by us. Leaving you able to just sign up, sit back and enjoy the benefits of cheaper heating oil.

Earlier this year we went into partnership with Affinity, a subsidiary of Anglian Farmers Ltd the largest agricultural purchasing co-operative in the UK. Affinity pool together fuel orders and negotiate directly with suppliers, helping fuel syndicate members save on their heating oil.

How it works: You can now sign up to become a member of the co-operative on the Devon Communities Together website in the membership section by clicking here https://www.devoncommunities.org.uk/Event/join-devon-oil-collective.
Membership starts from as little as £24 per annum for households or just £36 for community buildings. Once you become a member you can place your order directly with Affinity and they will then complete a bulk order once a month (the next and final bulk order for 2016 is Monday 28th November) once they buy the oil they arrange to have it delivered to your property within two weeks of the order being placed.

The collective has an optional savings scheme to help cushion the impact of fuel purchases and members have access to a number of ‘lifestyle’ benefits.

Your local co-ordinator is Stuart Watts. He can be contacted for more information via the ‘CONTACT US’ tab on the Home Page of this website.

OIL COLLECTIVE – ORDER DEADLINE

January 24, 2016 Leave a Comment Written by Stuart Watts

This is to remind you that the next ordering deadline for oil is 12pm Wednesday 3rd February. The Community Council of Devon will be negotiating with the suppliers on the 4th/5th and the latest delivery date is anticipated to be by 18th February.

Last month the order was the lowest price for very many years at a rather amazing 22.45-22.61ppl + vat. With the price of crude oil steady or even dropping I would hope that February’s price will be similar or (maybe) even lower.

You can send your order via your co-ordinator or to me at info@ofps.co.uk.
