A Postcard from Devon Campaign. June 2019

Please support our new campaign ‘Greetings from Glorious Devon’ postcards, highlighting the threat to our beautiful countryside and tourism from inappropriate development. The postcards, addressed to the current Housing & Planning Minister, Mr Kit Malthouse MP, and left blank for you to complete with your thoughts to him, are available from us. Please contact us for your postcard to send to Mr Malthouse and support our campaign for the right homes, in the right place and save Devon’s special, unique and valuable countryside.
