All today’s newspapers announce that George Osborne is having problems because his estimate of “growth” has gone awry – it has slowed down – and therefore he must cut public spending and find ways of increasing taxation even more than he had anticipated.
However, our Local Enterprise Partnership continues to operate on old (very old) overestimated growth forecasts and makes great claims about how those overestimated figure will allow them to create 167,000 jobs over the next 15 years.
What does our LEP know that George Osborne doesn’t?

Not to mention the number of new homes in the Local Plan (growth of 30% cf. number of existing homes in East Devon) which is based on taking the largest growth figures (based on above average economic growth in Devon) in the Strategic Housing with Diviani then adding more on top of that!!
