It was five months ago that Ilfracombe Town Council welcomed Rob Townsend into the newly created role of Town Maintenance Operative.

Rob’s main objective is to maintain and enhance Town Council assets and outdoor areas by complementing the existing local authority services. This Ilfracombe Town Council initiative aims to be be proactive in dealing with local issues and areas that may have otherwise been left or dealt with sporadically.

This has meant a considerable amount of work on behalf of not just Rob but, also from existing ITC staff members Richard Rodd (Facilities Manager) and Clive Denham (Hygiene Operative) working alongside the ever willing and able Green Team.

Many local residents have also commented on the visible improvements since Rob has been in post and here a just a few examples of the work that has been carried out.

If you have any issues or areas of concern in your neighborhood then please raise them on the Fix My Street website.

p.s. If you see Rob out and about in the Ilfracombe Town Council van, don’t forget to give him a wave!
