Literature and Landscape in East Devon >>> and 'the areas in East Devon currently threatened with over-development' >>> @ the Budleigh Salterton Literary Festival >>> >>> Saturday 19th September

Literature, landscape and concern for East Devon's environment come together in Budleigh Salterton as part of the Literary Fest this coming week:
Futures Forum: Literature and Landscape in East Devon  >>> @ the Budleigh Salterton Literary Festival >>> Saturday 19th September

Here is a message from the East Devon Alliance which is promoting the lecture:

Next Saturday 19th September at 10.00 am, the author Peter Nasmyth will be talking about his observations on the changing countryside to protect East Devon’s countryside. 

His book: “Literature and Landscape in East Devon” is a fabulous record of our local writers through the ages and also of the wonderful landscape that we all enjoy. Peter will be talking about his campaign and his book at the Budleigh Salterton Literary Festival at 10.00 a.m. on Saturday 19th September. He has created a large map showing all the areas in East Devon currently threatened with over-development. Later this year we hope to be able to distribute this map in electronic form, but for now the only way to get an idea of the scale of our challenge is to go next Saturday to see the map. 

You can book tickets for the event here:

You will be able to talk with like-minded people about how to campaign to protect your local area. 

Peter is also looking for contacts in Exmouth with a view to staging a public event there along the lines of recent successful ones in Sidmouth and Ottery St Mary.
