The Environment Agency is carrying out repairs to its collapsed culvert and the damaged bank and path, and is liaising closely with the County Council and with the landowners Clinton Devon Estates.

The physical closure and barriers on the footpath have...

Venue: 
Toolstation, Marsh Barton, Exeter

I did say about doing a similar event in Marsh Barton so after speaking to management at Toolstation, they've agreed that i can hold an event there on Mon 5th Nov from 8.30am onwards.

The reason i'm doing this is after the high number of reports of power tools being stolen around Exeter and the surrounding areas. A lot of these tools are high value and cost the owners a lot of money to replace.
