Ilfracombe
Welcome to the first please and thanks and National Campaign for Courtesy courteous town initiative launched on 8 September 2011 in Ilfracombe, North Devon.
Ilfracombe courteous town initiative
Businesses located in Ilfracombe are invited to register to take part in the courteous town initiative now – just fill in the form opposite.
We’re looking to recognise ‘courteous businesses‘ in Ilfracombe and to help all businesses improve courtesy to make it an even better place for everyone who works and lives there and to improve the experience of everyone dealing with businesses in Ilfracombe.
Be recognised as a courteous business
All you have to do is register opposite, post your support for our ‘commitment to courtesy‘, then provide evidence of courteous behaviour. You’ll receive a certificate, window sticker, web logo and a listing on our Ilfracombe courteous business page.
How will the initiative help you business?
Each week, for 12 weeks, we will be focusing on a different aspect of courtesy, how it can help your business and what you can do to improve, if you need to.
But I’m already courteous
Then please help spread the word and help Ilfracombe to become the UK’s first courteous town.
Find out more
Come along to the Ilfracombe Centre between 3pm and 7pm on Wednesday 14 September 2011 to find out more and ask any questions you have – no need to book, just turn up.
Thank you.

We run a self-catering holiday home in the town and would like to compliment the staff and managers of the Tapas (Fore Street), Eclectic, Clarets and Harbour Lights for good service and courtesy shown to our guests over the summer – all received personal praise and comments from our guests. This has got to be a good reflection on Ilfracombe – and this campaign is a big step in the right direction. Well done!

My podiatry and chiropody business relies on courtesy, reliability, good service and care – the people of Ilfracombe have already supported my business tremendously so there’s a big “THANK YOU” to all of them and I wish this campaign every success!

We would like to nominate Giovanni and Luca’s Restaurant. Whatever time of day we frequent the resaurant we always get a smile and a warm welcome. Even if we haven’t booked and they are busy, they always manage to fit us in. All the staff are courteous and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Upon leaving, we are always thanked for our custom and bid a friendly farewell.
