Traders' Meeting
2019-04-11 19:00 - 21:00 | Buckfastleigh Town Hall
The Town Council are aware that local businesses (particularly traders/businesses that trade with the public in premises in the town), are struggling. This meeting has been organised with the Chamber of Trade to discuss the possibility of a campaign to promote local business, including a promotional/loyalty scheme and the possibility of setting up a regular street market as these were discussed at the public meeting earlier in the year.
We would like to hear how you are doing and hear your ideas and thoughts about any ways the Town Council might be able to help support trade in the town. If you are interested and able to attend, we look forward to seeing you there… (You don’t have to be a trader to attend.)

Climate Emergency: First Citizens Steering Group Meeting
2019-05-24 19:30 - 21:00 | Buckfastleigh Town Hall
In March, Buckfastleigh passed a motion declaring a Climate Emergency and vowing to do whatever is in its power to make the town of Buckfastleigh carbon neutral by 2030.
We decided to set up a working group to recommend to council and carry out actions that will do three things…
• Enable council to achieve this goal within its own activities
• Inform, promote, support encourage and resource our local community to implement actions to achieve this goal
• Promote and campaign for action and legislation at all levels of government locally, nationally and beyond to achieve this goal.
We can’t do this on our own and we will need to get government on-side to have any hope of achieving it, but by committing to the process in this proposal we can make a start and show the way.
This meeting is for those who are interested in being a part of this group.
Cllr. Andy Stokes, Chair & Mayor
