We heart climate crisis
Martin Redfern
Anyone who might have been tempted to believe that the climate crisis is at the heart of everything Exeter City Council does (as it repeatedly claims) need look no further than its response to the consultation on the Devon climate assembly’s output report for clarification.
It would be too much here to point its many faults, omissions and misunderstandings, not to mention the grammatical errors which confirm that it was cobbled together at the last minute, but it should not escape notice that the council only deigned to share it with its executive committee a month after it had been submitted.
The council said its response was discussed with council leader Phil Bialyk, Net Zero Exeter portfolio holder Rachel Sutton and strategic scrutiny committee chair Barbara Denning. No worries, in that case.
Democracy doesn't work when people don't know
Public interest news that holds power and influence to account is more important now than it has ever been.
Democracy doesn't work when people don't know who is deciding what on whose behalf and what the costs and consequences of those decisions will be.
Exeter Observer was created to deliver the independent investigative journalism our local democracy needs.
It exists because people who think what we do matters are willing to chip in each month to help cover our costs.

Exeter City Council is about to seize the helm of Exe estuary maritime life: will it steer it onto the rocks?
Charges for waterways access are set to be imposed from the quay and canal basin to the coast under proposed Harbour Revision Order powers after six years of rising costs propelled by pursuit of Port Marine Safety Code compliance. They risk driving away craft of all sizes, from kayaks to yachts, while redevelopment threatens canalside land – but it’s not too late to change course.
