VICTOR STREET CELEBRATES!
This is the 10th street project run by Heavitree residents and supported by the Heavitree Squilometre.
There's £300 in the pot to get things kick-started, passed onto you by the residents of Ladysmith Road who
brought their project to a spectacular head in summer 2022.
And huge thanks to ECC Councillors for a further £300 as a Ward Grant to move things forward
Please let us know you're coming using the form below or by calling Tammy on 07875 026164 or

In Feb/March 2023 we put the invitation out to come join us in celebration of Victor Street and we're thrilled now to have a Pod of lovely local residents who are generating and enabling some great community-building ideas |
|
Activity so far ....
The Victor Street Pod have taken advantage of the Heavitree Bowling Club taster sessions to get together and bond as a team. They're looking forward to working more with the Bowling Club into the future.
Next up, they're off to the Devon Heritage Centre to further research the heritage of the Street and of Victor Lane. Some early research shows that the field that it's built on was called "The Witchet", apparently a type of Lupin! Would make a great emblem for the project.
Twenty houses have taken up the offer of co-ordinated window-boxes so soon the whole street will be blessed with colour for all to enjoy and there are plans and to tidy/decorate Victor Lane.
All coming to a head with a Springtime procession down the Lane to the Park for a community picnic.
Sounds like a wonderful project, right there!
