Time for 2010 PACT survey in East Budleigh

Dog fouling and speeding vehicles through the village, including tractors, were the main concerns of East Budleigh residents last year according to Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) Malcolm Maguire.

Those issues have been or are being tackled by the Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) reports PCSO Maguire.

After the long hard winter he feels it's time to repeat the 'Your Neighbourhood, Your Voice' survey as part of the East Budleigh Partners And Communities Together (PACT) scheme serving the village.

"Now is the time to conduct a new survey to ascertain if the current areas of concern are still valid and to highlight any new ones," he says.

East Budleigh residents can take part in the survey by either completing and posting the PACT postcards in the post-box found inside the village information point, at the village hall, or by speaking with PCSO Maguire at the next scheduled police surgery on 22 April 22, 10.00 am - 11.00 am, at the information point. Or they can call police HQ on 08452 777 444 to request a home visit from PCSO Maguire.

Alternatively, he says, "Simply stop me whilst I am on patrol - I am the one who rides a police bicycle!"

A new initiative for village policing in the Budleigh area has been launched by PCSO Maguire with a tie-in with the Mobile Library Service. "Our first Policing Surgery on board the MLS bus will take place on 20 April at 11.00 am at Otterton Green."

Sadly we will soon be saying farewell to PCSO Maguire, pictured above in Budleigh's High Street. "My stint as the PCSO for Budleigh Salterton is coming to an end early next month as my colleague Chantelle Major returns from maternity leave."


The next policing surgery for Budleigh Salterton is scheduled for Thursday 6 May 2010 at 10.00 am in the Police Station on Fore Street, next to the Tourist Information Centre.

People from the Past: 3. Reg Varney (1916-2008)

Image
Reginald Alfred 'Reg' Varney was an English actor, most notable for his role as a cheerful Cockney bus driver in the 1970s TV sitcom On the Buses . For ten years he lived at Dark Lane House on picturesque Dark Lane in Budleigh Salterton, seen above.  Millions of television viewers remember him with affection. He has been described as belonging to the old school of comedians, with his dislike of much contemporary television and his pride in never using swear words to get a laugh. Varney was born on 11 July 1916 in Canning Town, which was then part of Essex but is now part of East London. His father worked in a rubber factory in Silvertown and he was one of five children who grew up in Addington Road, Canning Town. He was educated at the nearby Star Lane Primary School in West Ham and after leaving school at 14, he worked as a messenger boy at the Regent Palace Hotel, pictured above. ...

WW2 100 – 23 January 1945 – A tragic accident in Burma: Captain Gerald Arthur Richards (1909-45), Royal Army Medical Corps

Continued from 21 January 1945 FLIGHT SERGEANT RENNIE ARTHUR LOADER (1915-45) Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve (RAFVR), 518 Squadron https://budleighpastandpresent.blogspot.com/2021/04/ww2-75-21-january-1945-forecasting-for.html         A photo of Gerald Arthur Richards sent to me by his daughter Louanne   Like a number of war dead whose names are not listed on Budleigh’s War Memorial,  Gerald Arthur Richards is mentioned by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) as having a link with the town through his wife Kirstine. It was difficult to confirm that link, but there were enough intriguing aspects to Gerald’s story to raise questions that I wanted to see answered. Further research led to more East Devon links – to Honiton, Exmouth and further afield. In a very roundabout way I finally made contact with his daughter Louanne, to whom I am grateful for providing information about the family, not least some family photos like the...
