Benefiting from the green economy

My Plan for North Devon 2024 onwards:

Champion North Devon’s unique environment and ensure it is protected alongside our tourism economy as well as positioning North Devon so that it is well placed to optimise investment from new green industries.

 

A recap on my 2019 priorities:

Protect our Environment

We should be very proud of our local environmental successes and there has been significant government grants and investment, particularly into the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, much of the work has been done by individuals and individual groups. The passion I have for the environment is more than matched by the love shown for North Devon by its residents. I am on the advisory board of the Conservative Environment Network, the largest parliamentary caucus and continue to champion our precious environment.
