Totnes Gardens has been concerned about the state of the Town Leat for a long time, asking Morrisons and other agencies to get involved.

Totnes Gardens volunteers took it upon themselves to pollard the willow, add the duck house, and clear the rubbish at the Town Mill end over this winter

But the final and hugely successful requests came from Steve Howrihane, the Totnes Town Ranger, so our thanks to him.

His office is shared by the TIC, under the Civic Hall, and he is the go-to guy for any issues you have – graffiti, litter, nuisance, etc.

He can direct your concerns to the right people, or take action himself.

He is in the office every weekday morning, or you can email him on townranger@ totnestowncouncil.gov.uk.

We have found him very approachable, helpful and supportive – a great initiative by the town council.
