Come and meet us at the summer shows!

We’ve been out and about this summer at several of the one day agricultural shows throughout the County. This year, our stand is focussed on the Devon Data Monster and we have been overwhelmed with support for our campaign against this monstrous proposal – an AI data centre and BESS on 850 acres of North Devon’s precious farmland.

We’ve been to the North Devon Show and the Honiton Show. Next stop is the Chagford Show on the 20th August, and then the Holsworthy Show on 27th August. Please come along and say hello – its a great opportunity to find out more about our campaign and buy a special Monster T Shirt! We look forward to seeing you.
