This one is for my village - and for the wider rural community around it.
There are significant new developments being proposed for Thorverton, including a minimum of 66 new homes at Lynch Road.
And whilst those houses may sit within the village, their impact won’t stop at the village boundary.
Thorverton’s school, surgery, roads and other local resources don’t only serve the people who live here. They serve families from the surrounding villages, hamlets and rural communities too.
I’m not against change. I’m not against growth.
But I do believe growth should happen with a community, not at the expense of it.
And the community here is bigger than Thorverton itself.
So if you live locally, send your children to school here, use the surgery, travel through the village, have family here - or simply care about how our rural communities are developed - please don’t assume your voice doesn’t matter because you don’t live beside one of the proposed sites.
Speak up.
These decisions will shape this village, and the wider community around it, for years to come.
