CAN chief executive David Incoll or one of his officers at West Devon Borough Council please answer the following questions:
Where does the proposed core strategy now stand in view of the fact the Regional Spatial Strategy has been abolished?
What reason was given by professional officers to Cllr Clish-Green (Letters, May 17, Tavistock Times) as to why the core strategy could not go back to the full council to be voted on?
Some council members were not aware that the vote on December 15, 2009, was the final one by the full council — is this the 'closing of doors' that Mr Incoll constantly refers to?
The general public are both anxious and suspicious at the moment and a statement in the press by Mr Incoll or a member of his team might help to alleviate their concerns.

WEST Devon Councils' core strategy vote cannot be allowed to be swept under the carpet without answers been given.
Helen and Ian Mears (Letters, May 20) called on the chairperson to answer two questions. To date that person, Councillor Diane Moyse, has kept her head down, but residents await her reply.
Councillor James McInnes who arranged the 'substitutions', is also very silent. It is hard to understand their reasons, as their party whilst in opposition and again since forming the Coalition Government, have said that they oppose the Regional Spatial Strategy housing numbers.
Yet members of the Conservative Group on West Devon Borough Council have been deprived of their democratic rights to serve their residents for the best interest of the towns they were elected to represent. How disgusting.
