I led the call for more banking hubs in our part of Devon during my debate in Parliament last night.

After my successful Sidmouth banking hub campaign, I'm working with local communities to try to get more hubs open including in Exmouth, Budleigh Salterton & Ottery St Mary ⬇️

We will not waver, as we have never wavered in defence of our country, and the free, democratic world.

I wonder why my DLUHC question from January 22nd has caused a certain local representative to use an anonymous account on this platform to post such interesting comments in recent weeks.

More to come.

I'm working with providers & government to bring connections up to speed ⬇️

East Devon's Lib Dems say difficult decisions face leisure centres locally. They twice failed to apply for funding offered by govt. Devon's other councils secured £1.4m. If they consider closing services, their lack of action will come back to haunt them.
