Exeter, Cornwall, Plymouth and North Devon – immigration (unsurprising)
Torridge and the South Hams – expats (obviously second-homers on both sides of the channel!)
Mid Devon, West Devon and Teignbridge – NHS (they are about to lose several local hospitals)
And East Devon? The economy. The only area that searched first on the economy.
Owl thinks it’s because lots of East Devon developers (particularly those at the Growth Point and Cranbrook) farmers who might become developers ( you know who you are) and councillors worried about paying for their new HQ hogged the search engine!
Wonder what our LEP members searched for? Still waiting for that upbeat press release, guys.
Update: the nearest other county that searched for the economy near us was North Somerset – so close to Hinkley C!
