Plus - bad behaviour in the chamber and a new railway station
Exeter’s Labour MP Steve Race is the special guest on Devoncast this week, fresh from a fact-finding mission to Ukraine.
Following a trip to Kyiv, he discusses the UK’s continued commitment to Ukraine and its people, while closer to home he has views on Devon’s devolution, the chances of getting a dentist appointment and the drive to keep buses on time.
Plus, he has plenty to say on the controversial subjects of farmers’ inheritance tax and the demise of the winter fuel allowance.
Elsewhere on Devoncast, how councillors are dealing with bad behaviour, how a community is looking forward to its new railway station - and a most unusual planning conundrum.
It's all in the latest edition of Devoncast, from Radio Exe and the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
