VISION
GROUP SEEKS SID VALLEY VISIONARIES!
Dear
Sir,
Some
fifteen years after the SVA and Town Council proposed the setting up
of the Vision Group for Sidmouth, officers are hanging up their hats,
satisfied with notable successes that are part of Valley life today.
Perhaps
most familiar are the Café Scientifique and the Science Festival,
but the group also gained Transition Town status – which is all
about building local vitality and resilience.
The
VGS has been involved in the Beach Management Plan since its
inception and pushed for sustainable development at Port Royal – as
well as being part of the campaigning group Save Our Sidmouth.
More
recently there have been public meetings on cycling, health, climate
change and a plastic-free Sidmouth – all working with other local
community groups.
And
next Tuesday 12th
March at 7pm, the Vision Group will be hosting a meeting where the
South West Mutual bank will be proposing an alternative to the
traditional banks – which have been steadily abandoning our high
street.
The
event will be held at the Leigh Browne Room opposite the Hospital and
is open to all.
Looking
to the future, the VGS hopes to help out with the Community Actions
which will be coming out of the Neighbourhood Plan.
The
Vision Group has always been open to all – and now seeks new
members.
If
you have
ideas which could impact and help shape the positive development of
our community in the coming years – do get in touch with the VGS at
