Track and Trace and How to Stay Safe
Devon County Council and Torbay Council have received a proportion of the £300m for the test, track and trace programme to be rolled out. This is an essential part of the Government’s strategy to tackle coronavirus and means that anyone who tests positive for coronavirus will be contacted by NHS Test and Trace and required to share information about their recent interactions.
There is some suggestion that unscrupulous criminals will seek to exploit this opportunity so it is worth knowing that if NHS Test and Trace calls you by phone, the service will be using a single phone number which is: 0300 0135 000. The only website the service will ask you to visit is: https://contact-tracing.phe.gov.uk. Contact tracers will never ask you to dial a premium rate number, for bank or password details or to make any form of payment.

Cllr. Mike Walters is responsible for Flood & Community Resilience. If you think you might be able to help, please contact Mike 01395 443707 or email the: clerk@eastbudleigh-pc.gov.uk
HELPING TO REDUCE FLOOD RISK IN EAST BUDLEIGH
If you own a property adjoining the Budleigh Brook in East Budleigh, you are also highly likely to own part of the adjoining brook, and if so, you are responsible for maintaining the bed and banks of the brook - an essential maintenance task to help minimise the risk of flooding. If you own a property adjoining the brook, please read the document "Help Reduce Flood Risk in East Budleigh". This is important, as if an owner fails to suitably maintain their part of the brook, they may face legal action!
In case of flooding in East Budleigh, new sand bags are now stored at the side storage shed of the East Budleigh Community Shop. If emergency access to these sand bags is required, please contact John Tresidder on 07999 837686
BLOCKED DRAINS IN THE ROAD
Have you noticed any blocked drains in the roads around the Parish? Want to get them cleared? You can report a new problem by calling Devon County Council's Customer Service Centre on 0345 155 1004. Alternatively, go to the Report a Problem page on Devon County Council Web site and select Flooding and Blocked Drains (this gives you a map on which to pinpoint the location, and a text box to describe the issue - and you can even upload photos if you wish). Once this has been reported, you should then be able to then track progress on the issue by going to go to Devon County Council web site
BONFIRES
We ask our Parishioners to be considerate to others when thinking of lighting a bonfire. The smoke can be both irritating and a health hazard. Lighting a bonfire should always be a last resort. EDDC's guidance on bonfires can be viewed here.
