Agreement reached this week

over the provision of a roundabout at Bloody Corner, Northam, means that the way could be cleared for a start within 12 months on the £1 million boating lake and marina planned at Bidna Marsh by Mr and Mrs Harold Clements of Appledore.

The project, agreed in principle by Torridge District Council’s Development Committee, has been held up by a highway objection by the county engineer, but this has been overcome by Mr

Clement’s decision to construct the 25-meter roundabout with the outlet giving access to the site.
