Devon community resources
This article is an offshoot of Devon community action focusing on community resources and assets. Resources such as community involvement, networks and events (people and relationships) can be considered as primary resources. Also resources are the activism and physical assets (or what citizens value), such as green spaces and biodiversity, cycle lanes, etc, from other Devon pages.
