How can Sidmouth be improved? Just one more month (June) to have your say.

A reminder that residents’ views are being sought by Sidmouth Town Council, on how the Sid Valley and surrounding area could be improved for local people and for tourists. Consultation forms can be obtained from the town council office, or online at http://www.sidmouth.gov.uk . The consultation deadline is 30th June.

District Councillor Graham Troman has put out a plea for everyone in the area to work together and pool their ideas for “progress without spoiling” Sidmouth, Sidford, Sidbury and Salcombe Regis.

And the Vision Group for Sidmouth (https://www.visionforsidmouth.org/) who were formed 9 years ago, with similar objectives, have already started successful forward-looking initiatives, such as Sidmouth Science Festival,and have produced well-researched documents on ensuring a flourishing future for the Sid Valley. The VgS will be collating the latest thoughts at their AGM ..poster here: AGM June 2014 All welcome to attend and participate!
