EDDC’s announcement in today’s Sidmouth Herald, of its preferred buyer for Knowle, could have massive repercussions, not least at the May District Council election.The plan is to change this prime employment site, and shrink the surrounding historic parkland, to make a residential development exclusively not for young people. The purpose is to relocate the District Council offices, to a much older building (Exmouth Town Hall) requiring major refurbishment, and a not-yet-built office at Honiton.

East Devon Watch 
Because a great many people in East Devon are expecting changes to be made in the future running of EDDC , i would imagine that decisions affecting the whole district should be put on hold.
But being as i am from Exmouth, Sidmouth may well have other idea’s. I will certainly be willing to wait with fingers crossed, and find out what our new MP has to say on the matter in Parliament.
