Daniel Clark Cllr John Hart, leader of Devon County Council - Credit: Daniel Clark The Conservatives have retained control of Devon County Council for another for years – but with a reduced majority.  The Conservative Party now holds five of the eight North Devon seats and all of five of the county council election seats in Torridge.  Under John Hart’s leadership, the Conservative Party has been in charge of the council since 2009, and Thursday’s local elections saw it stretch that reign until 2025.  Coming into the vote, the Conservatives held 41 of the 60 seats, but they only held onto 39 following the conclusion of the counting on Saturday.

Questions raised over pothole underspend in Devon s budget

Daniel Clark Published: 12:30 PM March 11, 2021    Potholes continue to be an important issue for North Devon residents and Devon County Council - Credit: Archant Devon County Council is forecasting a £3.7m underspend against its target budget for 2020/21 – but concerns have been raised over lack of spending on potholes and drainage.  The council’s cabinet on Wednesday morning (10/03/2021) heard that the financial position had improved from the month eight position of a £1.9m overspend to a £3.7m underspend at the end of month 10.  But councillors heard that the level of uncertainty and pressures being faced by the public sector this year was unprecedented and continues to evolve, and while the projected underspend is welcome, there remain significant far-reaching risks associated with the impact of the pandemic.
