PANTOMIME LETTER OF THANKS
From the Ladies Circle of the Moose International National Committee
Dear Dr Jane
I have been asked to write to congratulate the players on their splendid performance on Friday.
We had members there from Torquay, Teignmouth, Newton Abbot. Bovey Tracey, Crediton and Exeter and all have been in touch to say what a wonderful evening it was and the team should be congratulated on all their hard work and obvious enjoyment the cast seemed to portray.
We shall, God willing, all be back again next year.
Sincerely yours,
Mary

A30 WORKS - FIVE MILE HILL
EnterpriseMouchel is the managing agent contractor for the Highways Agency on the
A30 and will be undertaking works alongside the A30 at the above location.
The embankment beside the trunk road at Five Mile Hill has a history of slope failures, the largest of which occurred in the early
1990s when a 200m long failure resulted in the closure of the eastbound carriageway whilst remedial works were undertaken.
They are now embarking upon a project to stabilise the section just to the west of Brookside Garage. Remedial works will be carried out on the full height of the embankment for a length of 160m.
A 4 metre high reinforced soil slope will be constructed at the toe of the embankment, above which up to four rows of ground anchors will be bonded into the underlying mudstone. In order to reduce the water pressure within the embankment, a drainage system will be constructed above the reinforced earthwork.
A haul road will be required (on private land) to allow for access to the site , and this will also involve the use of traffic lights on the C50 to allow safe access and egress for the delivery vehicles.
All vegetation, with the exception of a strip of trees along the crest, will be removed from the embankment over the extent of the works. This will be carried out in advance of the stabilisation works to avoid the dormouse hibernation period and therefore the risk of causing harm to this protected species.
The vegetation removal will start on Monday 20 October, lasting about a fortnight, and
they anticipate the main works to commence in January 2012, with completion in April.
They do not anticipate any significant inconvenience to local residents, whom
they are keeping informed about the works, but the removal of vegetation will be noticeable to those living in the vicinity.
