Working towards a Sustainable Sidmouth

The Vision Group for Sidmouth existed from 2005 until 2026 when it ran out of volunteers.

The website was then archived to preserve the information and resources from 21 years of working for the people of Sidmouth. You can find the archive here

When a new group is formed they will add their information to this website
