Sustainable Crediton Newsletter 172, October 2025

Welcome everyone to our newsletter, especially our new supporters who subscribed at our Big Green Fair on 27 September. We hope you came along and enjoyed it: See the report under 'In case you missed it', right at the bottom left of the newsletter.

Otherwise it's a fairly brief newsletter this month. A couple of notable dates for your diary however: on 19 October the Tree Team swings back into action, and on the 12 November our latest film screening is 'The Line we crossed', which explores the increasing restrictions on our right to protest and where the line of acceptability lies. Very pertinent given recent government announcements.
