SIGN MOVE: The Otter sign at Otterton is being repaired and will be affixed to the new oak post when finished.

On completion it will be reinstated on The Green – however, it will need to be moved very slightly further onto The Green, otherwise the concrete socket required would impinge on the one securing the water pump.
