Coastal communities: will they change their voting patterns in the next election?

If the things that are currently happening in Exmouth (selling the seafront to the highest bidders, knocking down Elizabeth Hall), Budleigh (the Longboat, inappropriate development), Sidmouth (coastal erosion and job losses) and Seaton (strange statues in the wrong olaces and more retirement homes) it seems a good possibility!

  1. Many of these seem to be the result of discussions held in secret by the secretive Asset Management Forum whose meetings do not have agendas or minutes and which, because it is a “Forum” and not a “committee”, is apparently not subject to local government transparency regulations.

    Many of us wonder why all these things need to be discussed and decided in secret – just what is the need for this, what is being hidden from us, and what are the real reasons that these decisions are being made? After all, if it was all straightforward, and all the decisions were really the best ones, then there wouldn’t be a need to make them in secret, would there?
