A SCHEME to amend traffic routes and flow through Tavistock will be introduced for one day on Goose Fair day.
Due to limited car parking facilities on Wednesday, October 8 the town council is promoting a 'park and ride' scheme from three selected locations on the perimeter of Tavistock:
lYelverton Aerodrome
l Lumburn Rise on Callington Road

l Harford Bridge Holiday Park on Peter Tavy Road.
As in previous years, the scheme to amend traffic routes and flow through the town will be introduced with increased 'no waiting' restrictions and police 'no parking' cones.
There will be a high police presence in Tavistock, and illegally parked vehicles will be removed without delay.
Vehicles causing an obstruction will also be deemed to be illegally parked and heavy fines plus a storage fee will be incurred for recovery from the police compound.
Tavistock Lions and the Plymouth-Tamar Lions will be manning and operating the park and ride scheme. The locations will be identified on the main routes into Tavistock by temporary AA-style yellow road signs.
Attempts will be made to park vehicles with disabled badges in designated areas as close to bus boarding points as possible. There will be limited disabled facilities on buses available from the Yelverton site.
First Devon and Cornwall buses will be co-ordinating the bus services, and will run frequent shuttle services to strategic points in the town centre from the park and ride locations.
The bus service will operate between 8.30am and 10.30pm, depending upon demand.
A flat rate charge of £5 will cover the bus journey into Tavistock and return for all occupants of a car left at the following two locations: Lumburn Rise and Harford Bridge Holiday Park.
Charges from the Yelverton Park and Ride will be £2 per adult and 50p per children under 16.
