Meeting with our prospective MP
This evening we met with Neil Parish - the man who is going to replace Angela Browning in Honiton and Tiverton (which will be the new constituency which will include Seaton). He is currently a Conservative MEP (Member of the European Parliament) for South West England.
Representatives from Seaton Development Trust, its Sustainable Living and Environment Group and the Gateway Town Group joined us. We showed him the presentation we had done at the 2 day Stand Up For Seaton exhibition in the Town Hall and talked him through our concerns and told him some of the solutions we had discussed and wanted to put to the developer - except his agent won't speak to any of us.
He listened, he took away some of our materials and asked us to keep him briefed (which, of course we will do).
Good of him to see us so quickly but subsequently actions are MUCH louder than words. We shall see ......

I was at the meeting with Neil, and have since visited his website. He has cretainly worked hard for local farmers - I do hope he does the same for us!
well I haven't met him but I'm prepared to give him a silver star for actually managing to visit Seaton. He didn't ask people to meet him in Honiton!
