Sat. 29th August: Day of Action

 

On Saturday 29th August we'll be holding a 20's Plenty for Silverton Day of Action.

Meeting on the Little Rec at 10am (until 12 noon) we'll be kicking things off in a big way with;

  • Stickers, posters and sign making materials for sale
  • Advice on making your own house, garden or yard sign
  • Help to get stickers and posters up around the village
  • Volunteer sign-up for various essential activities over the coming months
  • Cupcakes! Themed cupcakes to raise funds for the campaign

Come along, meet others who want slower speeds, less noise, less pollution and safer streets in the village - and share your thoughts, views and ideas with like minded people.

Obviously everything will be socially distanced.
