A national fundraising campaign's been launched to secure the site of Exmouth's Rolle College for the community.

Rolle Exmouth Ltd aim to raise more than 450 thousand pounds, to reopen the Owen Building on the site as a business and community hub.

And they've also got a more ambitious target of five million pounds - to buy the rest of the site, currently owned by Plymouth University.

The university plans to sell the land for housing - but REL want to use it for further business, education and community facilities.
