It's nearly Christmas – and, despite everything, the Straitgate saga has continued for yet another year.
The first half of the year was spent enjoying the freedoms delivered last December by Councillors on Devon County Council’s Development Management Committee, who had refused Aggregate Industries’ planning application to quarry Straitgate Farm.
Unfortunately, it was not to last. The company appealed the decision, and the second half of the year was spent preparing for the two-week public inquiry in October, participating in it, and waiting for its outcome.
Let’s hope 2023 will be a positive one.
We wish all readers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
