Disposal / Appropriation of Open Space at the Knowle..who decides?
Students living in East Devon: register to vote
You are old enough to pay tax, old enough to join the armed forces, paying back your student loans for many years and may want to get on the property ladder.
If you don’t vote you won’t be influencing your future hopes and aspirations.
General Election: Definitely time for change
According to the Demos think-tank, England’s safest seats (of which East Devon is considered to be one) are mostly men and by people from outside area they represent. Out of 97 MPs with a 15,000 plus majority, 15% are women and only 39 have any previous close connection to the area they represent.
Hugo Swire: Conservative – not one of the 97 but a significant majority (6,000 plus)
Male
No previous connection to East Devon before becoming its MP – but was at Eton at the same time as David Cameron
Clare Wright Independent:
Female
Born, raised, educated and worked in the area all her life and with family settled here and child in local state school, currently a district and county councillor
Andrew Chapman UKIP
Male
Moved into the area a few months ago to contest the seat – no previous connection (retains family home in Shropshire)
