Torbay has adopted the the principles of the Transition Town movement, which was set up in Totnes two years ago with the aim to reduce dependency on oil and create a more sustainable economy, which must be odd with the sight of so many oil tankers sitting out in the Bay waiting for the price to go up.
Rob Hopkins, who founded Transition Town Totnes, told thisissouthdevon: “This is absolutely brilliant news. It is part of a very exciting trend. We’re starting to see other local authorities join the movement.”
Torbay’s Cllr Steve Darling submitted the proposal to the council’s annual meeting. He told the site: “This is a very exciting opportunity to allow people to come together and shape their own community and the community they want to become.”
