CAN we create a truly resilient, vibrant and sustainable Crediton by 2030?

That was the question posed at a seminar held to look at the future of Crediton, organised jointly by Sustainable Crediton and Crediton Town Council.

"Don't panic, Keep Calm and Carry On" was one of the themes that emerged from the seminar held at the Boniface Centre on Tuesday, January 17.

Representatives from 35 different organisations in Crediton attended including a number of independent businesses, churches, schools, community organisations, town, district and county councillors and also a number of Sustainable Crediton supporters.

In total 82 people went along, the most successful event of this type in Sustainable Crediton's history to date!

The event was opened by the Mayor of Crediton, Cllr Frank Letch and Sustainable Crediton's chair, Gerald Conyngham and fell into two parts.

It began with a multi-media presentation on peak oil and climate change and how their effects can be eased on a local level by reducing pollution.
