Talent sought in Ottery St Mary and other news
Entry forms are now available for this year’s Ottery’s Got Talent competition. Read this and more.
FLOOD DEFENCE: Work has now begun by the Environment Agency to improve the flood defence scheme at Chapel Lane, Ottery. Scheduled to last 18 weeks, the work is hoped to increase the standard of protection from flooding to the properties on the east side of the town by increasing the size of the vegetation screen. This will prevent debris from interfering with the flood defence and improving the flow of water to the local culvert. During the work, which is expected to last until September, Chapel Lane will be closed at the junction with Brook Street.
