Talaton Emergency Plan
Following a recent survey, the Parish Council has put together a list of volunteers to help in the event of an emergency. An emergency could be anything from storm flooding to a blocked road. In the event that the regular emergency services are unable to respond, the volunteers will take action. In a major incident, the Parish Hall is the meeting point. Here is a list of the key people to be contacted – if there is no reply from a number, just call the next person.

Villages In Action -
Website is www.villagesinaction.co.uk/
Villages in Action (VIA) is a rural touring scheme based in Crediton, Devon. They help to bring top quality professional performances and workshops at affordable prices to communities through a network of local promoters.
Created in 1992, VIA now covers five of the seven district council areas of Devon and has over 70 active communities, reaching about 8,500 people annually as audience members or workshop participants. The Arts Council of England subsidises the VIA which allows it to put on productions that would otherwise be unaffordable by most rural communities.
Talaton has had numerous excellent performances and hopes to have more but the finances are very tight. Success and a continuation of these great performances depends on having a full Hall!
Please support the events when they are advertised - it really is vital.
