Welcome to Sustainable Crediton's monthly newsletter. We have
seven events coming up this month which must be a record. There
should be something for everyone ! How many will you attend?
Have your say about Recycling Changes
You may have heard that Mid Devon District Council are proposing
to make some changes to the recycling and landfill waste
collections in October 2015. See the full article below for more
details. Please spend 5 minutes to complete this short survey
and we will feedback your views to the people in charge of waste at
MDDC before any final decisions are made.
Do you have a skill to share?
Come to the General Sir Redvers Buller pub at 10:30 am on
Saturday 3rd May for the first meeting of the
skill
share group.
A bit of retail therapy anyone?
The first Community Market of the Year takes
place in the Town Square on the 10th May from 10am to 1pm. This
market will feature sustainable transport and the Devon Roadshow.
There will be a stall for donations of any surplus produce -
plants, flowers, eggs, cake or anything home-made. Proceeds from
that will go to Sustainable Crediton's work. Alternatively you can
bring a stall for yourself, a small table, or even just a basket to
sell your produce. For further details call Elle on 01363
