East Devon District Council is loudly being called to account, and to justify the need for its heady plans for office relocation. Spiralling costs of the project, before even one brick is laid, combined with the unpopular choice of a new location, have opened the debate for a pause and re-think.

Don’t miss the interviews on Radio Devon, with Independent Cllr Claire Wright from 7am, and with Council Leader Paul Diviani on just after 8am…..Should be broadcast tomorrow (Thursday, 13 Feb) ..or possibly Fri 14th.
