Devon County Council “is a business” says its Leader

But, unfortunately, its “shareholders” are not allowed to talk to it:

In the past Councillor Diviani has also referred to EDDC as a business and officers have referred to developers as its clients.

Our only role as “stakeholders” appears to be to vote them in or out in 2015. Other than that, we should, apparently, be shut up.
