Exmouth Town Council is launching a new bicycle refurbishment scheme tomorrow to reduce household waste and reduce the town's carbon footprint.

Working in partnership with Transition Exmouth, the council intends to collect unwanted bicycles and send them to Ride On, a cycling charity on Exeter quay, for refurbishment.

The charity will then sell the bikes at a discounted rate. Prices start at £70 for adults, and £20 for kids.

Sam from Ride On said, "We're really grateful to Exmouth Town Council for providing a collection for donated bikes and we look forward to working with them to get more people on bikes and tackle the climate emergency together."

Councillor Steve Gazzard, Chair of Exmouth Town Council, added, "Exmouth Town Council is always looking at ways to help make Exmouth greener and be more environmentally-conscious to help combat climate change, so I am pleased to announce this initiative with Ride On."

If you'd like to arrange a collection call 01395 276167 or email [email protected].
