Devon MPs take their bow in the House of Commons

What makes Exeter the thriving city it is today? Why do people make a beeline for the city to shop, socialise and do business?

This week, Nicola Wheeler,  chief executive of InExeter, the city’s business improvement district organisaton, joins Devoncast to talk about how working together is making the city thrive.

Elsewhere, a campaign in Plymouth is under way to save a sportsfield from development, and two new MPs have been making their maiden speeches at Westminster.

Lib Dem Caroline Voaden explains why there is more to Devon than appears on postcards, and Conservative Rebecca Smith lobbies for the county’s transport links.

This week’s programme is presented by Guy Henderson and Alison Stephenson and is available for use, in whole or in part, by all LDRS partners.
