Kings Coronation -Big Help Out Day – Holsworthy

3 April 2023 Events, Information, News, Projects 0 Comments

Tidy, Titivate & Tart up the Town- Monday 8th May

The King has suggested that as part of the Coronation Celebrations communities across the country get involved in volunteering on a Big Help Out day on Monday 8th May and highlight the positive impact volunteering has on communities across the Nation.

Holsworthy Town Council would like to encourage organisations and individuals in the Town to come up with a one day project which aims to enhance the appearance of Holsworthy to be carried out on Monday 8th May 2023. It is hoped that local organisations could work on their ‘own patch’, help another organisation or choose an area of the town to enhance.

Some Suggestions brought forward are:

– Litter picking
– Cleaning signs
– Renovating flower beds
– Cleaning & Painting of community facilities
– Cleaning public areas
– Emptying gutters
– Help a Neighbour
– Tidy up Manor Car Park after the Coronation Celebrations

The Council would love organisations to contact them at townclerk@holsworthytowncouncil.gov.uk with any small project they wish to do as part of the Big Help Out Day which can be advertised in the run up to the day. Individuals who want to get involved can also email the Council or pick a project which may suit them best and join in! Please make contact with the town council if you are interested and we will put you on the list!

The Town Council may be able to provide support through supply of equipment such as hi-vis jackets, litter picking tools, bin bags and cleaning materials subject to availability – feel free to enquire.
Currently the ideal times for volunteering on this day would be between 11am and 4pm. You do not need to volunteer the whole duration.
No project too small! We welcome all project suggestions and look forward to hearing them!

The important bit – The Town Council would also like to invite all those who take part in the day to a ‘Pasty and a drink’ event in Holsworthy Memorial Hall from 4pm on the 8th May as a thank you to all volunteers in the town. This will be a chance to recognise the amazing work volunteers carry out all year round and get everybody together to celebrate, network and share our volunteering experiences.

Holsworthy Wednesday Market

Holsworthy’s Outdoor Market

1 March 2023 Events, Information, News 0 Comments

Holsworthy Town Council will be holding a public meeting on Thursday 23rd March 2023 at 6pm in the Memorial Hall, Holsworthy, to discuss the future of our historic Wednesday Market!

This will be an open and transparent discussion about the market’s past, present & future.

Holsworthy Town Council have been running the Market on behalf of Torridge District Council for 20+ years and have endeavoured to keep it relevant and stable.

Past efforts have included delivering leaflets to holiday homes, shops within Holsworthy and the surrounding areas. We have visited other local markets similar to our own to raise awareness of our historic market and to encourage new traders. We continue to use social media platforms, local media and yearly newsletters to advertise.

We would like to invite the people of Holsworthy to attend our meeting and help us find a solution to moving the market forward.

Everyone is welcome and we encourage all to attend to make your voice heard!

If you are unable to attend, please put your thoughts in writing to Holsworthy Town Council
