From its press release yesterday which makes it clear that EDDC expects to be subsumed into a larger authority. The question is: how long have they known and with which councillors did they share the information?
….. “In the longer term, the council needs to consider the shape of local government.
“A combined Honiton and Exmouth office base offers a more flexible approach to our accommodation requirements involving new and modernised offices in two locations.
“In a world of increasing co-operation between local authorities, a smaller headquarters and an accessible presence around the district offers a better proposition for our customers.
“If a successor organisation or other local government arrangement inherited Knowle from the council it is unlikely that such care would be shown toward its future use as shown by the East Devon District Council.”
