FINALLY VICTORY FOR LOCAL STICKLEPATH RESIDENTS

"It is pleasing," says Nick, "that people power has finally prevailed over the local authorities to tackle student parking and traffic problems in the Sticklepath area. Following the decision not relocate North Devon College, Devon County Council (DCC) was left with little choice but to act.
"In the face of increasingly, and quite rightly, frustrated residents I myself have spent the past year and a half lobbying North Devon College (now Petroc) and DCC's Highways Department to do something about the problem.
"Finally following a recent multi-agency meeting the local authorities are to blitz Elizabeth Drive, Old Torrington Road and Shorelands Road throughout November in an effort to engender a more responsible attitude."
At the beginning of July following Nick's latest round of lobbying, Edward Chorlton, Deputy Chief Executive of DCC, had said:
"We will continue to work with others where there is a prospect of resolving some of the parking and traffic issues, but must look forward to the relocation of the college as the only real solution to the resident and college conflict."
These of course proved hollow words.
