Sustainable Crediton Newsletter Issue 48

Illustration of Crediton cycling guide

Welcome to Sustainable Crediton's monthly newsletter.

There are four Sustainable Crediton organised events this month, three regular and one very special event: The launch of Crediton's very own cycling guide.

On the 16th July at 7:30 pm at the Boniface Centre, there will be a presentation from Zsolt Schuller, Strategic Sustainable Travel Officer Devon County Council about Cycling in Devon - progress and plans with the launch of our leaflet " Cycling in and around Crediton." A not to be missed event for all cyclists.

On the 12th July the Energy Group will be organising the Sustainable Crediton stall at the Community Market. There will be lots of give-aways and information about Crediton Community Energy Company.

The penultimate event is the regular plastics collection at Peck & Strong, Lords Meadow Industrial Estate on the 26th July from 10am to 12:30pm.

Finally there will be a Boniface Trail cycle ride on the 27th July.

We would very much appreciate your help in publicising these events. You can now run off flyers and posters for our events directly from the website Whats On pages by going to the bottom of the event webpage and clicking on the blue poster or flyer links.

There are two other publications close to our hearts - Positive News which you can find free of charge at the Library, Ashtons and Crediton Coffee Company, and Junk Mail which you can download from our website.
