Steve Speaks

Libdems?… for North Devon? ..  Not again..!!! How will that help? Hopping backwards and forwards between Libdems and Conservatives makes no difference. It’s been one or the other my whole life and nothing ever gets better. We need to tell all politicians and all the...

The national party manifestos don’t offer much to North Devon.  I would like to hear what local voters want in a North Devon manifesto. Based on my listening to local people here are some suggestions. Low pay – Devon pay is too low. Increase it (or reduce tax) in...
