Exeter Labour Council running out of credit

Your favourite Council cuts on a postcard please because we are now in it together! Labour's chickens are coming home to roost, and their leader, Pete Edwards, is in a flap. He is asking residents where to make cuts to save money. Try this, Pete. How about not spending £57000 on a consultation trying to pin the blame on the government. Perhaps look at the latest taxpayer funded Citizen newspaper headlining £750000 on a running track. How about not blowing the Council's assets and then spending £35 million pounds of borrowed money the Council never had, which has turned an annual investment income of £1.3 million in 2008 to an annual debt cost of £2.3 million in 2015. This switch is about £3.6 million per year off the services we used to enjoy, not far off the amount Pete wants us to find for him now.

Gedling Lib Dems say Anaerobic Digestion Plant on Colliery Site is wrong location

Tamar Energy have now submitted a Planning Application to the County Council to build an Anaerobic Digestion Plant on the Gedling Colliery site. The site they have chosen is on "brownfield" disused land that was previously part of the colliery. It is located at the bottom of the colliery spoil heap that is currently being developed into the Gedling Country Park. The site which Tamar want to build on, is nearly half a kilometre from Arnold Lane and nearly two thirds of a kilometre from Lambley Lane.
