What does our MP think - depends on who you think our MP is
Our current MP is Hugo Swire contact information here
HOWEVER, at the next General Election, the constituencies are changing. Hugo Swire stays responsible for Sidmouth, Exmouth and a new bit of Exeter and Seaton and Axminster join the Tiverton and Honiton constituency. Currently this constituency's MP is Angela Browning contact information here.
HOWEVER, she is retiring at the next General Election and the person who has been chosen by the Conservative Party to contest the seat is Neil Parish.
HOWEVER, Neil Parish is currently a full-time MEP in Brussels and will presumably not resign that seat until he has to fight a General Election contact information here.
So, Hugo Swire, who will not depend on the Seaton and Axminster area for votes at the next election and who will have no responsibility whatsoever for our area then is currently our MP, Angela Browning will not depend on votes from the Seaton and Axminster area at the next election as she is retiring but Neil Parish WILL depend on Seaton and Axminster for votes but he is a full-time MEP!

I wrote to all our MEPs some time ago and received replies from a couple. The only really positive reply was from Roger Knappman (see below)
"Roger Knapman MEP has asked me to thank you for your email and to reply as he is currently travelling to Brussels. He knows the area well (he lives in Devon) and supports your campaign. He does not think there is any point in raising the issue at European level but does think progress
can be made at local, council, level and via your MP in Parliament. Roger would be very happy to lend his support for any campaigning in this way.
I shall now try Neil Parrish again.
June 6th No reply yet from Neil Parish. Anyone else ever got a reaction?
