Just an update to let residents know l have officialy written to Communitys Secretary of State Eric Pickles to revoke the Midas Development on the grounds that new Goverment criteria ie Localism Bill renders this unrequired, unwanted ( by all three relevant Councils), and flawed development irelevant, l will keep everyone posted upon their repsonse.
I have also gone on record officialy with Teignbridge District Council in relation to their Core Strategy,LDF that l oppose further developments in Exminster until the issue of Infrastructure is met financially which currently it is not with paltry finance obtained from current 106 agreements!
However with the New Governments Local ism Bill hope through its suggested 106 replacement the CIL Community Imposed levy ( £5,000 per property!) this seems a way forward for underfunded and, commercially plundered Communities like Exminster to fund the necessary School. pre School. Doctors surgeries expansions necessary with further housing demands.
The New Convex road safety mirror is waiting for funding from my Community Fund it will be probably January 11 when with the kind offer of a local Builder and my loyal assistant John Goody l will be able to install it at the troubled Westfield area of Exminster, something l have been campaigning for prior to my election in Nov 08!
I will shortly be approaching Teignbridge District council to waive my entitlement to travel allowance to all the Main District Council meetings , l feel this is only decent and, correct in these very austere times when residents are all facing increasingly difficult financial constraints! ( saving around £120/200er yr ), some of my Councillor colleagues already decline perhaps all will follow this example!?
Thankyou for now Councillor kevin.A.Lake.
