Welcome to the

Squilometre = working in your neighbourhood

Connecting People to People and People to Place
What we do
We know that Burnthouse Lane with its unique heritage and amazing community is a special place. With the help of your DCC Councillor, Marina Asvachin, we now have a bit of funding in the pot to find creative ways to celebrate it together:-
- Exhibitions
- Flags to line our streets
- Researching our landscape - uncovering its hidden secrets
- Tea parties and inter-generational events
- Street dances/performance!
How does it work?
The short answer is - one street at a time!
You vote for which street, avenue, open space, tree or stream you'd like to celebrate in the Burnthouse Lane area and we'll show you how to reveal its hidden mysteries. Every single place has a story to tell and we'll show you, using the established Squilometre technique, how to reveal them. We have some kick-starter funding, thanks to Devon County Council - the rest is up to you! Each project lasts around 9 months and, together, we should be able to do one a year.

What's next?
Emerging into Light - a gentle way to come out of lockdown
We're really excited to announce that the first project - kicking off as soon as we can - will be on MILTON ROAD! We really want to hear your Milton Road stories so why not get in touch!
Could you be the Lane's Place Champion?
We're looking to recruit a volunteer Lane Champion. Lots of training and support provided. Checkout the details here.
