THE crowds enjoying this year's Okehampton Show will be offered the chance to get involved with shaping the future of the local area. West Devon Borough Council will have a stand at the popular event on Thursday, August 14. Visitors will be able to find out more about the development of Our Plan — a strategic plan for community needs and council services in West Devon between now and 2031. There is also the chance to find out more about recycling in West Devon, which is top-rated in the county, and join the council's drive to help households cut down on food waste and save money. Council leader, Cllr Philip Sanders, said: 'You will get a warm welcome if you pop along to see us at the Okehampton Show. 'As part of ongoing consultation about Our Plan we are encouraging people to ask questions and think about how they want the borough to develop in future. 'There are some big topics to consider including future energy needs, economic growth and housing development. 'Your views are important and we are hoping to see a wide range of residents at our stand.'
