Owl hopes there will be many more community self-help initiatives like this

Daniel Wilkins Exmouth Journal

Otterton residents who are self isolating, either because they have Covid 19 symptoms or because they are elderly or at high risk from the disease are being reassured that help is available for them.

The parish council is setting up a network of volunteers in the village to drop provisions or provide other help to those in need.

Parish council chairman John Hiles said: “We want the people of Otterton to know that support is available to them and urge them to get into contact if they are self isolating. 

“A number of people are ready and willing to help.”
