DCHA staff leave their cars at home - good news for health and the environment
Our Exeter and Barnstaple staff recently left their cars at home, as part of Devon's car-free day.
People walked, bussed and cycled their way into work, giving a boost to the environment and easing congestion. And, thanks to everyone's efforts we won £1,000 from Devon County Council to go towards improving our travel-to-work plans.
What's even better is that we have now been able to supplement this with a further grant from Devon County Council, enabling us to achieve a shower and cycle lockers at the Exeter office, encouraging greener and healthier lifestyles.
