Key objectives
To provide an attractive focal information point for Bigbury Net Zero, in the heart of the village, outside the village shop, by re-purposing an otherwise redundant piece of street architecture. A notice board inside and a QR Code on the outside lead people to our website for mire information about our activities. Easily replicable across South Hams.
