Open Letter to Our MPs
We are reaching out to everyone in Devon to sign the Open Letter to our MPs asking them again to support the passage of the CEE Bill.  In 2021, Devon County Council, 6 of the 7 District Councils in Devon and 50 of our Parish Councils voted to send a letter to their respective MPs requesting them to support the CEE Bill.  They refused, siting irrelevant issues. We need our elected MPs to listen to their Electorate’s Voices and
