InExeter is proud to celebrate the rejuvenation of three key areas in the city, thanks to the dedicated efforts of volunteers from the business community and local residents.
Neighbourhood Action Days , a community-driven initiative launched earlier this year by InExeter, the Business Improvement District (BID) for Exeter, aims to connect communities and instil civic pride.
