Devoncast: Lowering the voting age, why councils should let people pee easily and a war on beach huts

The hutters of Preston Sands are mad

Sixteen and seventeen year olds are to be able to vote at the next general election. The Green Party applauds that, and on Devoncast this week, we speak with Exeter’s youth organiser for the party.

One veteran Liberal Democrat on Devon County Council is now in his 30th year as a councillor in one form or another. Alan Connett explains why it’s important councils continue to allow people to pee easily, and why he’s conflicted over the 80s’ sell-off of council homes.

And the hutters of Preston Sands are mad. They’ll fight Torbay Council on the beach-huts.

And at last. Armada Way is in the news for reasons that don’t involve trees.

Paul Nero presents the latest edition of Devoncast, with the help of our friends at Devon Live and the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
