It appears most EDDC councillors of all political persuasions were not aware of the signing of the agreement for joint working between East Devon, Teignbridge and Exeter.

Those councillors may wish to reflect on Mr Diviani’s acceptance speech when he was made Leader:

“Whilst the election results speak for themselves, we need to enable better lines of communication. The cynical view of the last Government – decide, consult, do it all anyway – is not my approach. Obviously, we won’t all agree on everything but my path is one of consensus and inclusivity.”

Whoops.
