Road Warden Scheme
The Community Road Warden Scheme in Widecombe supports the care and upkeep of local roads through the efforts of trained volunteers. Working in partnership with the highway authority, community road wardens are able to carry out basic maintenance tasks.
As part of the scheme, wardens may also undertake minor pothole repairs where it is safe and appropriate to do so, helping to prevent further deterioration and improve road safety. This proactive approach plays an important role in our rural community, keeping our lanes in good condition and encouraging local involvement in looking after the community’s infrastructure.
Please contact the Parish Council if you wish to become involved as a volunteer.
Reporting a problem/pothole
If you notice a problem with roads, pavements, or other highways in Widecombe, you can report it directly to Devon County Council. Issues such as potholes, damaged signage, blocked drains, or faulty streetlights can be logged online through the council’s highways reporting system, or by contacting their customer service team.
Providing clear details and the exact location of the problem helps ensure a prompt and effective response. Reporting these issues plays an important role in keeping the parish safe, maintaining infrastructure, and supporting the council in prioritising repairs and improvements
