ORGANISERS behind the first Green Vehicle Show in Sidmouth are gearing up for the environmentally friendly Sid Valley Energy Action Group (SVEAG) event on March 17.

Sidmouth College will host a wide range of the most fuel efficient, tax exempt cars from top manufacturers from 10am to 2pm.

There will also be electric bikes, increasingly popular in Sidmouth, for visitors to try out.

The free event will also feature a raffle and talks on eco-driving.

SVEAG organisers have invited cyclists to join a push bike and electric bike procession - led by councillors - leaving from the High Street Sidmouth Cycles at 9.30am on the day.

The procession will be via the Byes to Sidmouth College for the event’s grand opening at 10am.
