Farewell to our "Outgoing" MP


Sunday 23 May saw Teignbridge Liberal Democrats at a "Thank You" party given by Richard and Sue Younger Ross held at Bitton House.

There were tears of disappointment and wishes of Good Luck especially to the younger generation who had put their energies into campaigning. Richard suggested the experience would hold them in good stead to follow a career in politics.

However in anticipation of the coalition, we go forward with hope of seeing Richard and Sue back on the 'circuit'.

There was chance to look around the gardens of Bitton House which were fully in bloom of summer flowers enhanced by the brilliant sunshine and deep blue sky. This included a visit to see the exotic flowers in the Orangery.


Meanwhile my council duties continue. Funding to charity organisations is all the more necessary now.

I am in my last year of my first term of being a Councillor and using my Councillors Community Fund I am funding , concentrating on Kingsteigton organisations. I have to say all my fund is exhausted now. However should I be voted in again for another term of four years then I could review my list if the fund is still in existence.
