Another fantastic turnout today cleaning for the Queen π and litter picking the boundary of our parish. Thank you to everyone who turned up today, not very much litter collected (one bag over 7 miles) and a reminder of how lucky we are to live in #eastdevon
Fantastic day today thanks to everyone who turned up to help with our new community garden! All supported and funded by @JessicaWestHill and @OtteryTC and hopefully providing fresh free food for our community. #carbonfootprint#community
Fantastic morning at the Exeter community garden, looking at what they've achieved over the last ten years. Lots of raised beds, small orchard, repurposed materials, most importantly tea and cake π°
Fantastic morning with @JessicaWestHill our East Devon county councillor looking at the work EagerBeaversTSJ have been doing recently, including water testing for the @WestcountryRT
This is very concerning. Two readings ten minutes and 1/2 mile apart. One phosphate level 300, the other 1000! Brown film on the surface, What are you doing about this @SouthWestWater@simonjamesjupp the state of our rivers is unacceptable.
@SouthWestWater It is collecting in the bend of the river by the bridge, heading downstream. I couldn't see it running from anywhere.Weve had some very high phosphate levels in the river Otter at Otterton as well in the last few days with a brown film on the surface?
@SouthWestWater@simonjamesjupp I have just spoken to the @EnvAgencySW as there is more than evidence of pollution further up the river Otter. Why is @SouthWestWater not responsible for any of this river when it has a water treatment plant adjacent to it ?
@SouthWestWater@simonjamesjupp Hello Alex. I have attached two photos showing the locations of the water testing. The one north of Otterton had the lower reading. The others were in Otterton itself which is north of Budleigh Salterton East Devon. Let me know if you need anymore information.

Anyone that knows me will know how much I love our batty friends π¦ here's the proof of why our peat bogs are so important to the environment, including bats it seems. Looking forward to putting our boxes when the funding comes through. @devonbatproject
Fantastic day today visiting the lower river Otter project with @ClintonDevon and @WestcountryRT learning about the plans and visions for the future of our beautiful river. Thanks to Vicky from the Chardstock eco group for arranging the day π
