More and more angry councillors (of all parties), and local campaign groups, are objecting to East Devon District Council’s questionable plan to move their Head Office to a huge new business park next to Exeter airport. The Council’s own Scrutiny Committee have asked EDDC bosses to delay until estimated costs and options for refurbishing existing office buildings have been examined. But it seems that the Chief Executive has intervened to block this motion. A Radio Devon report is expected this week, including an interview with Independent Councillor Claire Wright, on Thursday or Friday’s breakfast show.

The issues have been widely reported in the local press, some as front page news. Examples at these links to the SIN blog:
