Sustainable Crediton Newsletter Issue 118

Welcome everyone. Despite the continuing Covid restrictions, we have a reasonably newsworthy letter this month, which makes my life easier!

Of special interest is the item from Co Cars, who are looking into the feasibility of establishing a presence in Crediton. Do have a look at this and fill in the on-line survey if you would like to participate.

We are pleased to be able to invite members to a presentation by Mary Clear of Incredible Edible. I hope you can make it.

There is also the chance to log in to join our next Core Group meeting and Pollinator Group meeting, all from the comfort of your own home!

All details below.

Best wishes from Sustainable Crediton,

John Craythorne
