Mounting anger about the possible folly of East Devon District Council’s planned office relocation, was evident from listeners’ responses this morning. At the end of the programme, presenter Matt Woodley gave an assurance that Radio Devon will be keeping a close eye on the situation.

Her views and the response from EDDC Leader Paul Diviani, together with reporter Sophie Pierce’s summary of the issues, can be heard here (available for next six days):
