Colin Brown has been the Leader of the Conservative Group on East Devon District Council since the May 2023 local elections.
He leads a group of fifteen councillors, standing up for their residents and holding the Lib Dem-run administration to account.
Colin is a very experienced councillor, representing the interests of his local community.
Colin said before his most recent election: “I will help to enhance the local Blackdown Hills economy by supporting businesses that offer a variety of services and encourage new appropriately sized ones."
"I will work to provide the right conditions for new businesses, create more jobs, ensuring more money is spent in the local economy, helping lower our carbon footprints.”
“I will campaign for more affordable housing for local people, recognising that many people struggle to live in the communities they grew up in. More affordable properties will help to overcome this problem, helping our communities to remain vibrant and sustainable."
"Lack of superfast broadband in some parts of the Dunkeswell & Otterhead ward remains a big problem. Broadband is as important as water and electricity. Some places are at an economic, educational and social disadvantage due to this. We will campaign to end this unacceptable situation.”
