No wonder EDDC wanted to keep its deliberations about a move to Skypark secret!
In Cabinet minutes they reveal:
“However, within the negotiation, due diligence process and legal advice it has become clear that such an arrangement could potentially fall outside of European Union regulations. This would have then required a new site search exercise, cost and delay.”
Now, what was the deal that might have been unlawful? When was it revealed that it might be unlawful? How much did the legal advice cost? Did the project continue after the advice was given? Is this the real reason the project was abandoned and the loss of the supermarket just a smokescreen?

East Devon Watch 
The bottom line is that the current EDDC leadership:
1. Cannot be trusted to run the council sensibly for the benefit of those who live and work in East Devon rather than for their political Party or for Developers
2. Cannot be trusted to spend OUR money wisely
3. Cannot be trusted to be open and transparent with their decision making
4. Cannot be trusted to tell us the truth
In short, THEY CANNOT BE TRUSTED.
