A RURAL outreach scheme which offers advice and information for communities has announced four new dates for early spring.

West Devon Borough Council's Connect sessions are regular free events where members of the community can drop in and discuss public services with experts.

A borough council customer service advisor will work alongside other service providers such as the Community and Voluntary Service, Citizen's Advice Bureau and Parkland Leisure Centre to answer questions and offer advice.

Connect will be at Chagford Library from 10.30am to 12.30pm on the following dates with representatives: March 8 – CVS (Community and Voluntary Service); March 22 – Parklands Leisure Centre; April 12 – Citizens Advice Bureau; April 26 – West Devon Borough Council housing advisor.
