Jack's Snax

27/07/2024

Jack's Snax has officially closed down until compensation is paid and my health restored.All due to the actions of North Devon Council . Councillors and MP's were made aware from the start of closing the car park and the head of the council claimed he could not step in because it is a legal matter.How can you label it a legal matter and still leave 2 families to suffer? . Anyone feeling disturbed by this violation and truly cares about your town can bypass the council and complain direct here to their ombudsman . I have submitted mine already . https://complaints.lgo.org.uk/complaint-form/index.html

I would like to personally thankyou everyone for their words of support and concern over the past few months.They have truly kept me going in the hope the council would have done the right thing in time.Sadly not. . You will continue to see me out and about with the kids while I dig my way out of this mess.And with any luck I will be able to restart the business and carry on doing what I love.For now I have little mouths to feed so I have signed on and will find alternate work.Wish us luck!. Cristina sends her love also ### JS

Good evening all.As some of you are probably aware , queens street car park is having an over hall.Re surface .New pedestrian layout and joining with bear street car park.Work will finish late September at the earliest.problem is our council don't seem to think it will effect our trade or that of bear street.Well it has.To the tune of £1000 per week.And I am a very small business.So I am approaching $10,000 lost revenue since work began and Cristina has been forced to find a new job.I have spoken with those managing this in person and been frank about the financial impact. They know myself and my kids will lose our home.They know my over heads cannot be paid.They have chosen not to act on my urgent plea weeks ago, and on the warning of obvious interruption I gave them in March .The email I sent to our contact was acknowledged and then nothing done and no contact since. I guess we are just collateral damage.Remember that. Oh they did remember to confiscate my food waste bin when I missed my april payment so .So yeah cheers for that. :-P. Those who know me are aware that the business supports my young family.You also know that I try to be kind and have a little too much patience. Our council have exhausted this and have missed their opportunity to do the right thing. So I turn to the public for help and with that our council can add this act of aggression to their portfolio . There will be a press release soon. What ever the outcome I just want everyone to know that I will continue to show up for work and provide top service until they cut me off , kick me out or jail me for not being able to pay my council tax. I have setup a gofundme page HERE => https://gofund.me/3bc58f0f .Even if you can't contribute You can support us simply by sharing the hell out of it.If you have been effected when visiting the car park in it's current state .Share your views with your local MP Selaine Saxby .This can be related to anything from health and safety to accessibility and so on. I would like to say the support from My landlord and the surrounding businesses have been outstanding. Please remember to pay a visit to businesses on bear street and queens street and of course queens walk.They have also seen an impact from the current works being carried out. https://gofund.me/3bc58f0f

Thanks for reading . JS
