As many of you will know, at our AGM on 24 April at Follaton House we welcomed Cllr David Thomas, the leader of Torbay Council, and Plymouth councillors Jemima Laing and Sally Cresswell, respectively the City Council’s deputy leader and the cabinet member for education and skills, to talk about about their plans to bring the area currently controlled by South Hams District Council within the boundaries of their proposed unitary authorities.

And we hoped to discover what, if any, benefits there might be to the residents of the South Hams as a consequence.

If you were unable to be there, or even if you were, and you would like to know what was said there is now a recording of the meeting on YouTube.

The discussion starts around 8 minutes in, and you can find it here.
