BEVA

January 9 

BEVA 

The villages of Belstone, South Zeal, South Tawton and Sticklepath have come together in a couple of meetings under the name BEVA, Beacon Villages Environmental Action. Residents are sharing their environmental concerns following the acceptance of the Devon Climate Emergency Declaration at county, district and  parish council levels. 

BEVA adopted the following aims at their second meeting: 

1. To bring the realities about the climate emergency to our communities. 

2. To consider actions which contribute to public awareness, changes in behaviour and that impacts on the causes of the emergency. 

3. To apply pressure and to support public bodies, businesses and communities to respond to the emergency. 

The group looks at actions that can be taken individually and collectively to meet these aims. BEVA is an informal group and it reflects many views and concerns about the climate emergency.  

All are welcome to attend meetings and to seek support for efforts to address the environmental disaster we need to avert.   

The next meeting is on Thursday, January 9th at 7pm at the Devonshire Inn, Sticklepath.
