The large US company environment was not for the faint hearted.
They were at the forefront of empowerment and teamwork as a means of
sustaining growth and investment.
A similar environment exists in the political scene today.
If we are to avoid stagnation we must fuel the economic cycle with
investment.
I feel the Conservative team on East Devon District Council are
following the right agenda in consulting with residents and business in
finding the optimum solution to sustainable controlled growth in the region.

businesses including fighting the current threat to our post offices,
especially keeping the range of services available in our existing outlets.
