Exeter Community Assembly
We help local neighbourhoods and communities in Exeter to organise assemblies in which people who live or work near each other can get to know each other, discuss the things that matter most, and make plans together. https://www.exetercommunityassembly.org
- Exeter City Council is currently unaccountable to the public having cancelled democracy. The public should have a say in key decisions which affect them (such as cancelling elections!). This petition calls for strengthening local democracy, not weakening it: committees.exeter.gov.uk/mgEPetitionD...
- The Labour Minister has cancelled Exeter's elections this May after request by the Exeter Labour leader. Clearly, Labour are running scared of the public after failing to win any seats in last year's DevonCC elections. Sign the petition to have your say this May: exeterlibdems.org.uk/letexetervote
- Cancelling elections for personal gain is corrupt, not to mention that it denies 140,000 people democracy. Sign the petition to strengthen democracy in Exeter, not weaken it: committees.exeter.gov.uk/mgEPetitionD...
- What’s even more worrying than denying a democratic right to vote, are the financial gains some in @exeterlabour.bsky.social stand to make because if it. People won’t forget this. If you don’t already, subscribe to @exeterobserver.org Brilliant Exeter journalism

- The Council and Government have decided to cancel local elections in our city. This is an affront to democracy, and with public trust in politicians at an all time low, removing opportunities for democratic participation risks further disengaging people. (2/3) www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
- At the community assemblies we’ve held, one message has come through consistently: people want a stronger voice in the decisions that affect them. People in Exeter are calling for *more* democracy, not less. Please sign and share: committees.exeter.gov.uk/mgEPetitionD... (3/3)
