@Mcjrpc Thanks for that link - it makes for interesting reading. 1. You say that Cllr Clemens has declared a pecuniary interest. Has he? When? Where? Are you perhaps confusing his having to declare a pecuniary interest with his having listed renting land from DCC on TDC's register of interests? The two interests/lists whatever you want to call them are not the same you see. My argument is ...

Fancy writing a letter to the Gazette?
see option 4 on page 24 http://www.teignbridge.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=37826&p=0 and this is an extract from The Save Warren Farm petition Alternatively, Cllr Humphrey Clemens is a tenant farmer on farmland owned by Devon County Council, part of which is on the coast adjacent to Smugglers' Inn, and has excellent, possibly even better coastal views than Warren Farm.

and, and, given as how it seems to me it is in his interest that any planning application for Warren Farm to be turned into a coastal park Sangs should be successful, might he not also have a pecuniary interest to declare as well? (I've heard it alleged that that some of the land he farms over Holcombe way was (could be again?) one of the other original options for Sangs so if Warren Farm ...
Dorian - you took those words above straight from my mouth! Precisely! How can Humphrey Clemens (who not only is a member of TDC planning committe but chairs it!) advocate TDC's policy re Warren Farm which would necessitate a planning application without his laying himself wide open to accusations of predetermination? Go on then someone - explain.
All six candidates standing for election as our MP will be at a hustings on Wednesday 29th April, 7.30pm Dawlish Community College, Elm Grove Road.
