AGM, Chagford, 16th October 2024

Thank you to everybody who was able to join us in the beautiful moorland town of Chagford for this year’s AGM. And especially thank you to our guest speaker The Rt Hon Ann Widdecombe.

We really enjoyed the wide ranging discussions, including the planning reforms, the impact on the countryside, housing – and in particular affordable and social housing to buy and to rent, renewables and Net Zero.   It was also a great opportunity to promote our Devon Defenders campaign.

If you care about Devon’s precious countryside and green spaces please join us – let’s Defend Devon!
