Read about the Vision Group for Sidmouth
– in the Herald, in its newsletters and online!

There has been growing interest on social media as to what the VGS is all about: “Who are the VGS?” – Vision Group for Sidmouth
Here’s a little more since that was posted…
MONTHLY PIECE IN THE HERALD
Here’s last month’s piece from the VGS chair where he gives a little intro and more:
The Vision Group for Sidmouth was established by the Sidmouth Town Council in 2005 and is now a separate independent body with a focus on the sustainable development of the town and valley. As part of this endeavour the Vision Group have established the Sustainable Sidmouth Champion Awards for the second time… Why not look at the award categories as part of your new year resolution to improve the sustainability of our world?

Here’s the photo which accompanied the article when it appeared in the Herald – of one of the winners of the 2021 Champions Awards:

FEBURARY NEWSLETTER
The VGS also sends out (fairly) regular newsletters to those on its mailing list – giving the latest, with this month’s covering VGS projects – the Friends of Glen Goyle, the Sidmouth Cycling Campaign and the Sustainable Sidmouth Champions Awards – but also the newly-launched project headed by the town council, known as the Climate Awareness Partnership Sidmouth, of which the VGS is a keen partner.
As the newsletter says: “It all seems to be about getting you to fill in forms. But don’t let your interest fade and falter – as these surveys and questionnaires might well help us get somewhere! They might also prove quite interesting…” Where will this year lead?
