Councillor Anne Lonsdale's personal blog
Welcome to my blog†.
My name is Anne Lonsdale, Teignbridge District Councillor and Kingsteignton Town Councillor. I am a Liberal Democrat Member for Kingsteignton West Ward in South Devon, which comprises the Parishes of Kingsteignton West and Teigngrace.
My committee membership within the District Council includes the Overview & Scrutiny and Development Control Committees. I am also a member of the Licensing Act 2003 Committee and a substitute for the Licensing Sub Committees.
My responsibilities within the Parish Council include Recreation & Footpaths and Community Hall & The Fountain.
The purpose of this site is to try and keep you informed about my role and provide you with information about developments in Teignbridge District Council and our local Ward Kingsteignton West.
I will clarify my responsibilities in future blogs...
On Saturday 27th June there was a preliminary Cycle Race to the 100mile Dartmoor Race. According to the Mid Devon Advertiser the Dartmoor Race will not include the Kingsteignton areas because of the trouble that ensued. Had this event been managed and properly marshalled everyone could have benefited.
As I see it this was a lost opportunity for the economy of Kingsteignton. Both the Sandygate Inn and the Ten Tors Inn could have been a family venue for a few hours out in the fresh air and it could have encouraged young people to take up cycling which would be good for their health, promote a cleaner environment and lessen congestion within the town.
In this time of recession Kingsteignton needs to grab every opportunity to promote its economy. With consultation with the Town Council and the wider community this could have been a good event.
