“One year on from the May 2015 elections, East Devon’s Independents are giving feedback to the general public on what they’ve been doing, and on the wider picture of big changes coming to the South West.
An open conference is being held at the Knowle (Sidmouth) on Saturday 23rd April 2016, in the Council Chamber, with speakers from the East Devon Alliance of Independents and colleagues from across the South West.
The morning session (11:00 – 12:30) will focus on East Devon issues such as flooding, rural broadband, and inappropriate development, with reports from some of the Independent Councillors now serving on EDDC.
The first afternoon session (13:30-14:15) is ‘Local Policing in crisis?’, with guest speaker Bob Spencer, the Police and Crime Commissioner candidate standing as an Independent in this May’s election.
The final session (14:30-16:15), looks at ‘Devolution- a democratic deficit?’, with guest speakers from across Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset.
Admission is free, but places limited, so please reserve by e-mail to conference@eastdevonalliance.org.uk. indicating if you’d like the light buffet lunch. (Small charge for the refreshments.)”
