This trust was created in 1764 as a town-centred Trust covering roads west of the Torridge and out into the Hartland Peninsular. Its primary responsibilities were; (a) the coast road to Hartland (b) a variety of branch roads radiating into Bideford from small communities in NW Devon. A substantial mileage of roads towards Holsworthy and Hatherleigh was included in the initial Act but was no longer turnpiked by 1840 (i.e. had been handed back to the parishes or Local Highways Board, probably in 1785)

BPP
Vol 44 (1854) No. 17. BIDEFORD ROADS.
The existing Local Act for
these roads (the 9th of George IV. cap. 115.) was passed in the year 1828, and
repealed the previous Act of the 5th of George IV., by which the several former
Acts were repealed. The term of the present Act would have expired with the
session of 1850, but has been continued annually by the Turnpike Acts
Continuance Acts.
The lengths of the several lines of road belonging to
this Trust are as under:—
|

Of the above roads, there
are portions one mile and six furlongs in length, which are situated within the
towns of .Bideford, Northam, and Hartland, but none of the roads are repaired
by parishes or townships. On the Western Roads, there are four gates, but only
two toll payments; and on the South -Roads, there are four gates and two toll
payments (exclusive of the toll payable at Yeo Vale Gate, two miles from
Bideford). The four toll-gates near Bideford, on the Abhotsham, Northam,
Western, and South Roads, are all cleared by one payment. The full rate of toll
allowed by the Local Act is levied, " except the tolls on " donkeys and
carts, which have been reduced one-half," and except the additional tolls
for improving the south entrance into the town of Bideford, which have not been
levied agreeably to Section 34 of the present Act.
The debts upon this road, some
of which have now existed for about ninety years, were stated at Ł18,312 in the
return for 1838, showing an increase of about Łl,000, in consequence of
misstatements in former returns. The total sum borrowed appears to have been
Ł18,812, of which the sum of Ł2,310 was paid off by instalments, leaving the
debt Ł16,502, on the 31st of December, 1852. Several amounts appear in the
returns as "money borrowed" since the year 1833, in respect to which
the clerk has furnished the following particulars:—
In 1834, the sum of Ł150 was raised for
continuing the new road at Hartland, to unite with the
The accounts show that the
toll income has not greatly varied in amount since the year 1834. The funds
have been applied in repairing the road, and in paying salaries (Ł150, per
annum, including Ł30 to the Treasurer), law charges, interest of debt,
improvements (upwards of Ł3,000 since 1833), and portions of the principal
debt. In the year 1841, the expenditure appears to have been increased Ł233. ls
8d, by a loss by the late Treasurer.
In the present application
to parliament, it is proposed to repeal the existing Act, and to take further
and more effectual powers for the term of twenty-one years. The principal
ground for renewing the Act is to obtain power to make certain new lines of
road for the following special objects:— 1st. To obviate the difficulty of
traffic in consequence of precipitous hills; 2nd. To benefit the agricultural
interest of the south-western district of Devonshire and north of
Clause 9 describes the
existing roads of the Trust, but the promoters intend to amend this clause in
Committee by describing the roads in districts to be called The Western Roads;
the
Clause 10 authorizes two
new lines of road to be made according to the deposited plans and sections. The
first line is to extend from the present
Clause 11 describes the
new lines of road, and it is intended to name them The Parkham Roads. These
lines will connect the present South Roads with the Western Roads. The length
of these proposed roads is stated at 8 miles 1 furlong and 6 chains, of which 2
miles 7 furlongs and 6 chains consist of existing parish roads.
