EDDC’s plans for cutting carbon emissions

Following Jeremy Woodward’s pictogram and letter featured in the Sidmouth Herald last Friday (19th July), on the carbon costs of relocation*,  SOS readers may be interested in the (DRAFT) document at the following link. The forewords (on page 3) from the Councillor and the Chief Executive, and from the Carbon Trust , are especially relevant:

Carbon Management Plan 2009 Brown as Environment Portfolio holder

*See information in our 16th July post, Knowle’s future..the sustainable, cost-effective, option.

SOS has been told on good authority, that EDDC has spent at least £400.000 to date on its controversial plans to uproot its staff from Knowle, Sidmouth, to  new yet-to-be-built offices at Honiton or perhaps Cranbrook. . The project will be principally funded by the sale of the Knowle buildings, and is intended to be “cost-neutral” .

East Devon taxpayers familiar with what has happened just over the border, in Dorchester, are not convinced.  This poster has details Knowle for sale final

Sidmouth’s Community Notice Board, Old Fore Street.

Some comments about the recent refusal of retrospective planning permission, can be found at www. streetlife.com   https://www.streetlife.com/conversation/21pb5zv6afvcv/?uid=qeY5a&utm_source=daily&_external=True

Here’s an example, from  hibou about 15 hours ago

‘Disgraceful decision – and soooo petty. EDDC didn’t want a notice board where SOS notices could be displayed. Absolutely pathetic. Take the board down and let people “illegally” fly post on the wall – see what they do then!’
