For the past two weeks Geoffrey Cox has been meeting groups of people in Village Halls across the constituency. They have been invited to 'Brief your MP' meetings. The aim is to ensure rural communities which may suffer isolation get a chance to meet the man who represents them in Westminster.
In turn Geoffrey hears what life is like locally, what the real concerns of people are, and he can sound out voters on issues he is encountering in Westminster.
Geoffrey has also sponsored an exhibition on Micro-Generation at the Winkleigh Village Hall. Winkleigh is a village that has faced the prospect of a 'Biomass Generator' being built on the nearby airfield. This electricity power station may have consumed renewable power sources to produce electricity, but it would have had an environmental impact that many found unacceptable. Whilst the threat of the development may have receded, in the longer term ways must be found to produce renewable energy that do not substantially impact on the environment as the Biomass Generator and the massive Wind Turbines do.
Lastly, this is show season. Geoffrey attended the North Devon show in brilliant sunshine (this is not always the case) and found a warm welcome.
