A lot of plans are being put together for the county town:
Exeter Transport Strategy > consultation now open
Exeter: portrait of a city published: “educated, sustainable, unaffordable”
A better connected, more ‘liveable’ Exeter
Because something needs to happen:
Exeter is the country’s 12th least affordable city
There are questions over whether its latest big plans are in fact ‘development for sustainability’:
Exeter Vision 2020: ‘sustainable development’?
Today’s news from Radio Exe gives the official line on the positivity of the new ‘vision’:
Exeter Vision backed by councillors
It’s now been formally adopted.
Cllr Pete Edwards, leader of Exeter City Council, said that the 20-year ‘Liveable Exeter’ vision gives the council a chance to shape the way that development takes place in the city.
Liveable Exeter highlights the property crisis while trying to solve transport challenges facing the city, proposing a need for residents to ditch cars and walk and cycle instead.
