Village Community Shop

The shop has been run by volunteers for the past couple of months and, thanks to the hard work of all of those people willing to give up their free time the shop is now a huge success. However no matter how hard the volunteers work, without the support of the community the shop would have no doubt closed. So I think everyone should be very proud of the part they have played in keeping this valuable asset viable.

The shop now offers a full range of groceries, household essentials, newspapers and magazines. Fresh fruit and veg can either be bought direct from the shop or orders can be placed for collection. If you want to contact the shop they do have their own email address rackenford.shop@btconnect.com

Wind Farms / Biogas Plant Forum

You will have heard that there are now several wind farms proposed for our area. If these companies get the permission for their sites we will have around 27 turbines around Rackenford. To find out more about the campaign to try to restrict these controversial developments click here.

We also have a proposed £25m project to build a biogas digester plant at Gibbet Moor big enough to supply all of Tiverton's 20,000 population. To find out more click here.

Will the Biogas plant negate the necessity for these wind farms or will we get both? Are these developments too much for our countryside? Let me know your thoughts.

The Village

Rackenford is a small rural community in North Devon sitting on the edge of Exmoor between the market towns of South Molton and Tiverton. 30 minutes drive from the best north coast beaches such as Croyde, Saunton and Woolacombe. Just off the A361, North Devon Link road.

With less that 300 people on its electoral roll it is one of the few small communities left that still supports a primary school, shop / post office, church and two hostelries. The majority of its economy comes from agriculture and tourism.
