Buses
There’s one bus stop in the parish at Littlehempston Cross where the road from the village meets the A381 Newton Abbot to Totnes road at the south-western end of the viaduct across Gatcombe Brook. Buses 177 and 7 stop there, and at the bus stop at Shadrack Cross (just across the border in Berry Pomeroy!).
The 177 is operated by Country Bus and runs roughly hourly between Newton Abbot and Totnes. There’s no service on Sundays or Bank Bolidays. Click here for the detailed timetable.
The 7 is operated by Stagecoach and runs approximately every hour between Exeter and Totnes on Mondays to Saturdays. There are only two buses on a Sunday. Click here for the detailed timetable.
Recycling and Refuse collection
Recycling (green boxes, white bag and food waste bin) is collected every Friday and landfill waste (black bin) is collected fortnightly on a Friday. Garden waste (brown bins) are also collected fortnightly, but may be on a different day and are only collected if you subscribe to the service. You can find out a lot more detail from South Hams District Council’s website.
