Citizens Advice Outreach Service

Due to the demand for the Citizens Advice Outreach Service which runs in partnership with the Foodbank at St. Luke's Church, the Friday morning video booth at the Town Hall is not being used and is therefore cancelled with immediate effect.

Buckfastleigh Town Council will however continue to fund this valuable service and the door is always open should Teignbridge Citizens Advice wish to return to the Town Hall at a later date.

A representative of Citizens Advice is available at the Foodbank every Friday from 10.00 am until noon.  To make an appointment, please telephone 01364 644485 or email: info@ buckfastleigh.foodbank.org.uk.

Advice is also available on freephone:  0808 278 7997

Christmas Lights Update

.

Buckfastleigh Town Council's beautiful new Christmas Lights display in Fore Street, Christmas tree on the corner of Chapel Street and Mardle Way and illuminated welcome sign on Searles electrical shop have now been switched on thanks to the work and tenacity of our Town Clerk, Judith Hart, the support of local businesses and residents and most importantly Mike Harding Electrical Solutions, The Festive Lighting Company and Devon County Council's street lighting contractor.

We would again like to take this opportunity to thank the Town Lottery and those businesses and residents who have kindly contributed so far but this is a long term commitment on behalf of the town and we will continue to seek donations for next Christmas and beyond. Please visit our GoFundMe page:  https://www.gofundme.com/f/Buckfastleigh-Christmas-Lights.
