And there is nothing anyone can do about it as the rules say a councillor only has to attend one full council meeting every six months. And even if you never attend a meeting, as long as the Chairman accepts apologies they don’t actually need to do anything at all.
Some councils publish statistics about how many meetings their councillors attend – but not South Somerset or East Devon.

East Devon Watch 
Deja vue! The voters of Budleigh Salterton and East Budleigh suffered the same plight of being “represented” by a Councillor living overseas, in this case Malcolm Florey after he “retired” to France in 2010. He didn’t step down and the voters had to wait until the May 2011 election for a new Council before being fully represented once again. A la prochaine!
