From Claire Wright’s Facebook page:
“LOCAL HISTORY was made today, with the East Devon Alliance announcing that it has registered with the Electoral Commission to field Independent candidates for the East Devon District Council elections in May…..
The inspirational and irrepressible Paul Arnott and Cllr Ben Ingham, chair of the East Devon Alliance and Leader of the East Devon Independents respectively, both gave BRILLIANT speeches at Axminster this morning, to a room full of East Devon Alliance supporters.
The aim is to end the oppressive Conservative rule in East Devon. As Ben [Ingham – Leader East Devon Alliance]put it – “and let a breath of fresh air into a stagnant room.”
Exciting times!”
