We have now received advice from the Devon Association of Local Councils (DALC) about the conduct of Council business during the period of the lockdown which restricts us meeting in person. Alwington Parish Council’s meeting planned for 12 May will now take place electronically between Councillors.

There will be no AGM this year - the annual accounts will be agreed by the Council at this or a future meeting depending on the progress with audit.

An agenda has been posted on the website and on notice boards: if anyone wishes to riase a matter for the Council's attention at this meeting please notify the Clerk by clicking This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

 

Following the measures announced by the Prime Minister on Monday 23 March the Parish Council has set up a local support network in consultation with other stakeholders including St Andrews Church. For more information please see our dedicated Covid-19 virus section on this website. 

A big shout out to Lynne Lane and Alison Browning who have set up a local milk delivery for the folks in Woodtown

Welcome To Alwington Parish

Occupying a stunning part of the beautiful North Devon Heritage coast, the Parish of Alwington covers an area stretching from Peppercombe to Babbacombe and Cockington, towards Greencliffe on the Abbotsham Parish border, then moving inland from Bideford Bay, it includes such quaintly named spots as Knotty Corner as well as the villages or hamlets of Fairy Cross, Ford, Alwington and Woodtown, before moving on down to the boundary at Yeo Vale. means "the town within or below the wood".

 

 

Devon and Cornwall alert

The Devon and Cornwall alert system helps the police obtain information on happenings in the local area whilst also keeping people informed and aware. The system is designed so that people can recieve the infromation they would like, and subscribers do not recieve alerts on every incident. The main goal is to help reduce crime and also help to give the police more information regarding crime.

Sadly today there are no shops, post offices or pubs within the Parish boundaries, but there are such facilities within a mile or two  -  Horns Cross has two pubs, the Coach & Horses and Hoops Inn, both with B&B accommodation, and there are a number of self catering holiday cottages -  there is no Post Office within the Parish, the nearest being at Bucks Cross, on the A39 heading towards Bude, which also offers grocery items and newspapers.

 Alwington Village Hall was constructed in 1933, it is ideal for various events, including skittles, dancing classes, concerts, quiz evenings, horticultural shows and the like.
