N-E-W-S All points of the compass.
At the All Saints Parish Council meeting on the 9th of July 2024, the chair of the council, Steve Holt, gave an interesting presentation about a new set of guiding principles that the Parish Council has now formally adopted.
This set of principles will be known as the Communication Programme for All Saints or COMPAS for short. COMPAS has an overarching purpose to
“Create a Parish where the community feels as one”.
This website has now had some subtle updates that are signposts to COMPAS. One of the most obvious is a new About Us menu item. Another is an update to the Councillors page. This now has a new link for every councillor’s role within the council. Click the link to understand the role.
And finally, the presentation that Steve gave is available from the top of the Policies menu.
So please take a look. We really DO welcome questions and feedback, good or bad – either through the clerk or to individual councillors.
New member, John Adams, joins the council.
We welcome Councillor John Adams who was co-opted to the council at the meeting on 9th July, 2024. The council is now at full strength.

Casual Vacancy – A message from the Parish Clerk
Here is a message from the Parish Clerk.
Please note that applications have now closed for the Casual Vacancy on All Saints Parish Council. The vacancy will be filled at the Ordinary Meeting of the Parish Council on 9th July 2024.
Here is an important update about residents not receiving their polling cards in time for Thursday.
Remember – You DO NOT need your polling card to vote, but you DO need your voter photo Id.
Following on from our announcement in May, the restructured Financials menu is now available.
We said a while ago that we were restructuring the Financials menu to make it easier to navigate, together with simplifying some of our internal reports.
The restructure is now complete for the years 2023/2024 and 2024/2025. We’re still working hard behind the scenes to bring you prior years.
This restructure coincides with us completing the annual audit of accounts and filing the AGAR documents.
The reports that are available are as follows…
There are still a couple of missing reports that we are working on in the 23/24 years, and it’s still early days for 24/25 , so there’s obviously some reports not available yet.
Any feedback or questions – please contact the Parish Clerk.
A message from the Clerk of Axminster Town Council
Dear fellow Clerks
The Town Council is not organising the hustings next week but has made The Guildhall available to all 7 candidates for a hustings event as a community interest amenity.
This will be chaired by Matt Smith, Director of the Community Waffle House here in Axminster.
I attach a poster for the event which you may wish to use on your website, social media, or noticeboards to encourage your parishioners to come along if they wish to.
We don’t believe there are any other events in the Axe Valley organised for prior to the 4th July – if there are any in your parishes, please let me know and I can get those publicised locally here too.
Kindest regards
Paul Hayward
Town Clerk
