Cllr Fawssett said: “In Crediton we are moving away from weed killing sprays to local community action, to litter picking and weed clearing in public areas.

“This is good for community cohesion, for personal mental and physical health and saves the taxpayer money.”

Both he and Cllr Huxtable thanked the Brownies for their efforts.
