3) Food Festival Recycling follow up

Jill reported that she was waiting for Annette Dentith to get in touch to arrange a meeting. Jill had been in touch with Jason and Felicity at Mid Devon and had attended the food festival follow up meeting and they were pleased with the way the group cleared up.
