Another MP for Everywhere and Anywhere – a letter from a corespondent

Dear Owl, 

The MP for Exmouth and Exeter seems to spend a lot of time concerned about what is going on in other constituencies rather than his own. 

In the last week, he has commented about Hertfordshire and Birmingham.

In Hertfordshire’s last Ofsted inspection for children’s services in January 2023 they gained 3 outstandings and 2 goods.

In Birmingham City Council’s last Ofsted inspection for children’s services in February 2023 they gained 5 goods.

In Devon’s last Ofsted inspection for children’s services in January 2020 they gained 3 inadequates and 1 requires improvement.

The recent Ofsted inspection for children’s services was carried out last year. Apparently it has been contested.

The MP for Exmouth and Exeter East’s constituents would welcome an explanation from their MP as to why the publication of this report was contested. Was it because Devon County Council’s children’s served were judged as not reaching good or outstanding in all areas?

The MP for Exmouth and Exeter East hosted an Exmouth and Budleigh Water Summit. Constituents would like to know who attended, what was discussed and what he is doing to “make sure South West Water deliver on their promises.” 

It all sounds all words and no action. 

Constituents are concerned about the increase in their water bills. Is the MP for Exmouth and Exeter East posing questions about how well the company is being run. Was the appointment of Director of Regional Development – Pennon Group PLC necessary or was it a job creation?

The MP for Exmouth and Exmouth East should be raising questions about “The revolving door between water companies, regulators and government.”

Yours sincerely, 

A constituent who would value an MP who concentrates on his constituency rather than other places in the country.
