No action again Bradworthy man 14th September 1979

Fears that Bradworthy Square could become a parking area for heavy lorries have prompted Torridge D.C. to take no action against an unauthorised haulage contractor's depot on the outskirts of the village. It has been decided that enforcement notices should not be served on Mr Colin Guard, who is using his premises between Lew Farm and Lake Villa, off Bideford-Bradworthy road as a depot for his lorries since 1976 without planning permission. Councillors agreed to serve an enforcement notice on Mr C W Gilbert, of Higher Gidcott, Milton Damerel for the demolition of Gidcott Cross cottage.
