Swire (finally, after four-and-three-quarter years of avoiding the issue) meets parishioners of Clyst St Mary at the Village School o

Meet Hugo Swire and quiz him on local planning matters:

Thurs 19th Feb 6.30pm

Clyst St Mary Village School

and on

Friday, 20th February from 6.30 till 8.0 p.m.

Woodbury Village Hall

Lots to ask him, such as:

Why has he only just expressed an interest in planning matters?

Why did he vote for the National Planning Policy Framework and its definition of sustainable?

Why has he not voiced his opposition to the developer-led planning free-for-all in East Devon encouraged and stimulated by East Devon District Council?

Why has he not stood up for areas in his constituency under threat the way Neil Parish did at Feniton?

How can he keep his eye on the East Devon ball if he is always away on Foreign Office business?

Affordable housing:  why is EDDC allowing developers to drop affordable housing on their developments?

Why has the right for the public to speak at Development Management Committee meetings been vastly reduced?

What input has he had into getting EDDC’s Local Plan into being?

What effect will the “co-operation” between East Devon, Exeter and Teignbridge have on East Devon?

What is his view on “green wedges”?

I’m sure you can think of MANY more questions for him!

Then ask the same questions of the Independent Parliamentary candidate Claire Wright – his major challenger!
