Chittlehamholt is a North Devon village of the parish of Chittlehamholt, Satterleigh and Warkleigh. In the 2011 census it was recorded as having a population of 169.
There are 26 Grade II listed buildings including the Exeter Inn, a
16th-century coaching inn with houses and farm buildings. Until
1875 the village was part of Chittlehampton and was originally a

kindling.
The parish boundary follows the course of the River Mole in the
east and the River Taw in the south and west. The northern
boundary runs from Slew in the west, through Drake's Wood and the
northern end of Chittlehamholt.

RECYCLING BATTERIES

In 2019, NDDC made the decision to stop collecting
batteries in your recycling collections due to fires
taking place in our recycling hall. If you missed the
message, please get on board now to help keep our crews
safe. If you would like to recycle your home batteries,
please do so either at your local recycling centre or supermarket.

SKY LANTERNS

North Devon Council has banned the release of sky lanterns over concerns about the danger they pose to the
environment and local community. The decision was backed unanimously by
council. The council's event guidance has been updated advising

is prohibited.

EMERGENCY PLANNING
EMERGENCY PLANNING
|
| How would you prepare for an emergency? |
In a recently launched website, the government is encouraging people to think about what
they would do if they and those around them were exposed to
risks ranging from floods to fires to power cuts.
The website provides simple and effective steps people can
take to be more prepared, at gov.uk/prepare. Taking action in advance will make it easier to manage an
emergency if it does happen.
Five simple things you can do now
1. Find out if you are eligible to sign up to your gas,
electricity and water supplier’s Priority Service Registers, so companies know that you need additional support.
2. Set a reminder in your phone or make a note on your calendar to check your smoke alarm once a month.
3. Write down important phone numbers on paper such as the number to report a power cut (105) and the numbers of anyone you might want to contact in an emergency.
4. Talk to your children about how and when to call 999 and what they should do if there’s an emergency, such as a fire at home.
5. Check your long term flood risk and sign up for flood and weather warnings.
