With the BBC Spotlight report (03/09/17)*  and considerable coverage in the local press, most East Devon constituents will be aware of the Extra Ordinary meeting this Wednesday 13th September,  to consider a motion of no confidence in Paul Diviani for voting against referring hospital closures to the Secretary of State.

The meeting will take place in the Council Chamber, Knowle, starting at 6pm. Good attendance of the public is anticipated. The first agenda item is public speaking . Those wishing to speak should  register on arrival, by completing the speaker request slip ( with topic, name and contact details) available on table just inside Council Chamber, and handing it in to the secretary.

For precise details of the motion, see  https://saveoursidmouth.com/2017/09/01/motion-of-no-confidence-lodged-against-district-council-leader-reports-todays-sidmouth-herald/‘Motion of no confidence lodged against district council leader’, reports today’s Sidmouth Herald

Save Our Sidmouth has had cause to criticise EDDC Leadership on many counts, as archived in various categories on this website. Readers of this blog will therefore be interested to know that Paul Diviani’s fitness as EDDC Leader is being called into question (see page 3 of  the Sidmouth Herald, Friday 1st Sep 2017).

This serious issue will be debated in the Council Chamber, Knowle, at an Extra Ordinary Council meeting on Wednesday 13th September, starting at 6pm.  (Note: a second Extra Ordinary Meeting, concerning Exmouth, is scheduled for 7pm the same evening)
