The Strand
16 Feb 2011

I'd love to see the Strand fully pedestrianised, with deliveries restricted to certain times of day. It would revitalise the town centre.

Tesco's Appeal
16 Feb 2011

We don't need a Tesco as well as Sainsburys. Soon there won't be any small shops left in this country, all we'll have is supermarkets! Tesco has agressive marketing, but it's not always cheaper.

Date change. Because of logistical problems with Car Parking generated by maybe a thousand people travelling to Haldon Forest on a Saturday, the rally has been POSTPONED until Saturday 2nd April. For more information go to http://www.eclipse.co.uk/exeter/haldon/

The government intends to dispose of our publicly owned forests! If you love and use your local forest and want it to continue to be there for you and your friends and family to use, then make your voice heard to stop this government from passing legislation to allow it to be broken up and sold off!

She did vote in favour. And there is nothing on her website about her opinion on the proposed sell off / leasing / giving away to charities of our forests. I emailed her, but haven't had a reply, so I don't know what her reasons are for voting in favour. The sell off won't even make money, based on defra's own figures.

Go to http://saveourforests.co.uk/ and get the facts. Then, if you're as angry as I am, sign the petition at http://www.38degrees.org.uk/page/s/save-our-forests#petition(over 487,000 people have already signed it), and write to your MP - http://www.annemariemorris.co.uk/ for Newton Abbot & Dawlish.
