The plans for a Climate Change Solutions Centre at Seale-Hayne have had the door closed on them, despite the support of Devon County Council, who had offered up to £2 million for the purchase of the Seale-Hayne farm, according to the campaign’s press release.
“Despite this setback we have tremendous local support for this project and will continue our efforts to establish a Climate Change Solutions Centre for the South West,” Victoria Whelan, the campaign’s media co-ordinator, told the PRSD.
At the moment the Climate Change Solutions Centre campaign is continuing its push for a presence in the South Devon area.

Devon County Council Customer Care Line has been commended in the annual awards by the prestigious Municipal Journal, possibly the country’s leading local government magazine…
The My Devon Customer Service Centre, based in Tiverton, was unveiled nearly two years ago with a handful of services including Care Direct, aimed at helping provide information and help to older people, and a single number for all library services. The centre offers help and advice on a huge range of council services including roads and transport, children and families, schools and education and recycling and waste.
The centre is also home to a specialist Disability Information Service run in association with the voluntary sector to give help, care and support for disabled people.
Callers now get the help or advice they need for the price of a local rate phone call.
The service runs weekdays 8am to 8pm and Saturdays 9am to 1pm. People can also contact the centre by text phone and text message.
