Bideford West and Hartland survey 1

Dear resident,

I have been privileged to be your Devon County Councillor for a number of years now and I spend a lot of my time listening to what you the residents think about and want from the County Council.

I thought it would be useful to leave you with this brief survey so that you and anyone who lives in the house with you can actually let me have your comments and views as they are today. No Council can ever give everybody what they want but with your views we can certainly do our best.

I am pleased to be working with Sir Geoffrey Cox KC MP.

Cllr Jeff Wilton-Love

Councillor for Bideford West and Hartland
