Sustainable Crediton Newsletter Issue 109

Welcome to our newsletter. It's a busy month, with the return of our very popular clothes swap event on 30th November, and a special Wood Group open morning on 23rd November where we we would love to see new people coming along who are interested in woodland management and associated rural skills and conservation.

We are especially fortunate to have the clothes swap supported by a donation of brand new clothes - Joe Browns and Rant and Rave - from Sarah Luxton, the former owner of The Kirton Clothing Company on the High Street. A big thanks to Sarah for her generous support.

Details below about the Devon net zero carbon plan. This is important. Do have your say.

The Town Council Climate Change Sub-Committee meets on 12th December; all welcome.

Best wishes, John Craythorne, Sustainable Crediton newsletter editor
