Councillor Gordon Hook's Personal Blog

Welcome to my blog†

My name is Gordon Hook, Liberal Democrat Devon County Councillor for Newton Abbot South, Teignbridge District Councillor for Newton Abbot, Buckland & Milber, Haccombe-with-Combe Urban Wards, in South Devon.

The purpose of this site is to try and keep you informed about my role and provide you with information about developments at Devon County Council and Teignbridge District Council and our local Ward of Buckland & Milber, and Haccombe-with-Combe.

Since the County elections in June '09 my Committee responsibilities with Devon County Council have changed. I am now Chairman of Environment, Economy and Culture Scrutiny Committee. I am also a member of various other committees including Policy Overview Committee, the Standards Committee, Teignbridge County and Teignbridge Highways and Traffic Orders.

My Committee responsibilities with Teignbridge District Council include being the Executive Portfolio-Holder for Environmental Services.

I will clarify my responsibilities in future blogs...
