Running from Saturday 27 June to Sunday 5 July, this year's carnival promises a full programme of community events, culminating in the spectacular Carnival Procession and celebrations on Saturday 4 July.
From 22–25 May, Ashburton was delighted to welcome visitors from its twinned French town of Cléder as part of the annual twinning exchange programme.
Residents gathered at Ashburton Town Hall on Thursday 28 May for the Annual Town Meeting, an important opportunity for local people to engage with their Town Council and discuss matters affecting the community.
Ashburton Town Council has a vacancy for a new Councillor.
As part of local government reorganisation, Teignbridge District Council assets may transfer to Ashburton Town Council, and residents are invited to share their views on the town’s future and how these assets should be managed.
The post is paid at £12.50 per hour for a minimum of 100 hours’ work throughout the year. Duties would mainly involve cleaning and preparing the Town Hall for events (setting up and clearing away). Please be aware the post may involve early mornings or late nights depending on the bookings.
