The Welcome to Widecombe project is beginning to take shape. Designers, Platform One have now been appointed to take the interpretation brief and develop it into information displays, leaflet and walks booklets. The brief was developed over the last year with members of the local community representing local business, the Parish Council and the History Group. The project has been championed by the Reverend Geoffrey Fenton and supported by Andy Bailey from the Moor than meets the eye team. David and Sherren from Platform One were given a tour of Widecombe and had a chance to meet local people at an evening meeting held at the Old Inn. The following day they had a chance to chat more informally with people and begin to gather some of the information needed to take the project forward.

Andy Bailey said, "This is fantastic. We're really pleased to welcome David and Sherren on to the project and look forward to working with them over the next few months. There was a lot of enthusiasm for the project at last nights meeting and we are excited to see what ideas they come back to us with."

The Welcome to Widecombe project has been developed to help visitors find out more about Widecombe's heritage and to discover more about this life in this wonderful rural community on Dartmoor. For more information visit the project page
