Plus, how a North Devon landmark could be in line for a transformation
It's that time of year when you find out just how much you are going to have to pay for all the local services your councils provide.
And on top of that, the police and fire services want their share.
Devoncast finds out how the fire service goes about getting the funds it needs to keep the county safe.
Plus, news of a Exeter charity Balloons, which helps children through the toughest of times, and a new lease of life for a North Devon landmark.
And to top it all, we've been to Westminster, and we were very impressed by the whole experience.
It's all in the latest edition of Devoncast, from Radio Exe and the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
