Further to yesterdays post, readers might be interested to see that Plymouth Conservative councillor Peter Berrow has defected to UKIP.
His reason?
"I have become increasingly frustrated with the Conservative leadership at Plymouth City Council who are not taking account of local community voices in much of their decision making."
See http://www.thisisplymouth.co.uk/Tory-city-councillor-defects-UKIP/story-14387987-detail/story.html
As I said yesterday, the reason Exeter won't want to risk a swing to the Tories is that the evidence from neighbouring Conservative-controlled Councils is that they simply don't listen, and ride roughshod over the views of local residents.
