EDDC Cabinet to look at options for Knowle relocation (5.30pm, Wednesday 17th July) . But is relocation of EDDC offices itself optional?

Radio Devon has today conducted interviews on this thorny topic, including one with newly-elected Sidmouth Town Councillor, Kelvin Dent. SOS believes the proposed move of Council offices is unnecessary, will harm Sidmouth’s economy, and will be costly for East Devon taxpayers. See recent posts on this website: Knowle’s future…The sustainable and cost-effective option (July 16th) , and EDDC Knowle offices….no need to relocate (July 15th). SOS and East Devon Alliance supporters will be closely following the Cabinet’s discussion at tomorrow evening’s meeting at Knowle.  Press will also attend.

Planning approved for new Veterinary Practice on Sidford AONB

EDDC’s Development Management Committee have today given the green light for a Veterinary Centre to be built on agricultural land next to Sidmouth Garden Centre.  This sets an unfortunate precedent  for ribbon development alongside the A3052, and yet more steady loss of the irreplaceable Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
