Restrictions on public speaking are set to be adopted at the Full Council meeting this evening (6.30pm at Knowle). Public welcome to attend and witness how EDDC makes critical decisions.
EDDC Councillors will be presumably be listening in, and considering all sides of the argument, before they vote on this very serious issue at Full Council tomorrow (Weds 23rd July, 6.30pm at Knowle). They will certainly be aware of the repercussions for the May 2015 elections, of any perceived attempt at gagging.
There is still time to lobby your local councillors before the meeting this Wednesday evening. Reminder of their contact details is here: https://saveoursidmouth.com/2014/07/07/eddc-decision-to-curb-public-speaking-is-imminent/
