We say good bye to a veteran of the environmental scene in Crediton and Sandford this month. Linda and Colin Lever are moving to St Lucia in the West Indies to be near their daughter Elaine  and her family.

Linda was responsible for setting up Crediton Climate Action (as it was then called) in 2007 along with 4 others. She was a key member of the energy group within Sustainable Crediton which encouraged up to 100 houses to install solar panels, also in the area of local food production including a local food market which ran very succesfully in the town square for a number of years.

Within Sandford she was involved in many community initiatives including Sandford stores, the Millenium Green and the footpath/cycle path from Sandford to Crediton.  We are grateful for all she contributed in the field of sustainability.

We shall miss her and Colin and wish them all the best for their new life in St Lucia.
