Woodbury & Lympstone:

Alex Taylor (East Devon Green Party)

A long time Devon resident with a background in health and social care, I am trying to lighten my footprint on the earth and more importantly want to leave a better world for the generations to come.

As a green councillor I will:

  • seek to enrich the quality of life for children and adults.
  • be guided in all my actions by the need to mitigate the impact of climate change and to protect land, seas, and rivers in this area of outstanding natural beauty
  • fight for housing to be built in the right place and to be affordable for all. A new town may be a better solution than stressing the infrastructure of villages.
  • co-operate across parties bringing an additional green voice to the democratic alliance group which has enriched local government in East Devon in tackling the many issues that are devolved to local government.

Feniton

Jane Collins (East Devon Green Party)

I am delighted to be standing as your Green party candidate for Feniton ward.

My work with children who have difficulty accessing mainstream education allows me insight into the challenges many face when trying to access support.   I live less than a mile from the boundary of the ward and I understand the particular challenges that this beautiful yet busy part of the world faces.

Environmental issues touch us all, whether it’s the high cost of energy, pollution in our rivers and on our beaches or simply wishing to see our amazing countryside protected, we want a fairer greener country that works for us all.

Exmouth Town

Olly Davey (East Devon Green Party)

I have lived and worked in Exmouth for 40 years. During that time, I have been a college technician, primary school teacher, guitar teacher and a schools music organiser. I am well known as a local musician, playing in bands and sessions. As an allotment holder, I am passionate about organic and sustainable methods of food production. I believe that we should be promoting renewable energy resources to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, encouraging local businesses rather than large chain stores, supporting alternatives to car use, and making roads safer for all users. I want to see cleaner air and unpolluted rivers and seas.

Exmouth Brexington

Malcolm Marrett  ” I retired to Exmouth in 2008, after a career as a registered nurse in the NHS. I love living in Exmouth and enjoy the wonderful countryside and coastline of East Devon.
If you vote for me, I will advocate on your behalf to protect and sustain what we have. I am particularly keen to see EDDC challenge South West Water over their repeated pollution of our shoreline . I would like to help reclaim the pavements for pedestrians by making the roads safer for cyclists with the use of properly marked cycle lanes and sensible speed limits for vehicles. I am a great advocate for nonpolluting forms of transport, for instance cycle rickshaws, common in many cities around Europe, which would enhance the attractiveness of Exmouth town and seafront. ”

Broadclyst

Paula Fernley (East Devon Green Party)

If elected I would like to

  • Continue to work hard for the new developments in Broadclyst to get the promised infrastructure delivered.
  • Support the quest for local school places at local schools.
  • Continue to support residents in the battle with the district heat network to be treated better and to improve the service.
  • Support a balanced housing policy that delivers the type of homes we need in the right places.
  • Champion our wild places and help to green up the new developments.
  • Keep pressure on SWW to clean up our rivers.
  • Campaign for safer walking and cycling routes in the area.
  • Campaign for safer roads in residential areas.
  • Support Council services, especially housing and food banks.

Yarty

Duncan Staddon (East Devon Green Party)

I’m excited to be standing for a party that genuinely wants to make a difference. I’ve worked closely with a number of charities over the years and am aware of how tough it is for families at the moment. If elected, I’d do all I can to help families that are struggling. As a Dad I also believe it’s crucial we do all we can to protect our environment for future generations and work towards a fairer more equal society.

Exmouth Littleham

Mike Rosser (East Devon Green Party)

Exmouth has been a good place for my children to grow up. I hope it will be a safe and good place for my granddaughter to grow up in. I am concerned about further large scale housing development in the town, which is linked to probably the most congested road in East Devon. I will listen to and present the views of ward members. I will work in partnership with others, regardless of political persuasion, if it helps to address climate change, is beneficial to the environment and to those living in Exmouth.
