THE GUIDE
Save Time

Save Fuel
Save Carbon Emissions BUY LOCALLY Go Local – The Guide to South Brent From the wide range of shops and traders through to the community buildings and facilities, South Brent offers us all a fantastic array of services on our doorstep. We may take these for granted, but to survive and thrive, they need our support so that they will prosper. The Guide has been sent to every household in South Brent to encourage you to rediscover what is available in South Brent – and to encourage you to Go Local.
The Guide is a celebration of all the shopkeepers, traders, businesses, health and education staff, local organisations and all the volunteers who help to support such a wide range of activities in South Brent. The assistance of all the many people who contributed to the preparation of the Guide is acknowledged and appreciated – thanks to you all.

Local Businesses Go Local and watch your pound go around! What happens when you spend your money with local South Brent shops, traders and businesses? First, those businesses pay their staff and other local suppliers and traders - who in turn pay other local traders and suppliers. Your pound comes around and generates a healthy local economy that allows businesses to grow and to support other local suppliers and services. Spend your money outside South Brent and it’s not going to come back! There are many other benefits – car travel is reduced, fuel costs are reduced, your time is saved and businesses have the confidence and support to grow. Whatever you need – a chop, a chip or a microchip - you’ll find that South Brent supplies it!

Community Services For its size South Brent supports a wide range of public and voluntary community services. We rely on these day to day - and many of them rely on us for support and assistance. Some services, transport in particular, provide an important outside link to those without regular access to a car, but require wider support to keep them going. South Brent benefits from lift share and ring and ride services, a car share club, and extended bus services, which now include Exeter. We must use them or lose them – see the Transport page for full details.
