Except it isn’t a plan – it is a currently preferred option. And it hardly merits approval as there is as yet no money to fund it.

[Sidmouth DCC Councillor Stuart Hughes] said: “Future plans depend on what, if any, scheme can be promoted with a robust business case and justified cost benefit for national funding.

“Additional partnership funding will also need to be sourced.”

Can unfunded, aspirational ideas really be plans – or are they election “promises”?
