    Saturday, 22 March 2025 09:20

    By Bradley Gerrard, local democracy reporter

    Councillor Ian Barlow joins as guest

    This week’s Devoncast delves into planning and housing issues, NIMBY-ism, the cost of social housing and  the ongoing process of local government reorganisation.

    We’re joined by Independent councillor Ian Barlow, who represents Sidmouth on East Devon District Council, and hear too from Newton Abbot MP Martin Wrigley.

    Also in this edition of Devoncast, we ask whether the result of a by-election in East Devon could provide any insight about the potential outcome of the Devon County Council elections in May.
