Exeter Parks Watch (EPW) is, to all intents and purposes, 'run' by Christine Fraser (CF) who also, at the same time, was a committee member of St.David's Neighbourhood Partnership (no conflict of interest there then. My understanding is that CF is now a 'shadow trustee' of the trust that has been formed to takeover St.David's Community Centre. Whilst Susan Lawrence is the 'Chair' of EPW, she is nothing more than one of several 'puppets' of Christine Fraser. CF commented to me that, "Susan Lawrence had made it clear to her that she was not very keen to take on Looe Road Park", believing that EPW were already sufficiently committed to other parks in Exeter. Susan Lawrence submitted to pressure from CF to add Looe Road Park to the EPW 'portfolio'. This pressure was probably applied to Susan Lawrence purely for altruistic reasons. Yeah! Right! Of course it was.
Paul Faulkner, Exeter City Council's 'Manager of Parks and Open Spaces' also sat on the committe of EPW although, to quote CF, "Not that he really wants to participate but he has been ordered to by his 'Lords and Masters'!". There will be more revelations re Paul and his departments contribution in further posts.
