STUDENTS at Tavistock College will put local councillors through their paces at a ‘Political Speed Dating’ event at the college next week.

The event next Wednesday (July 13) will be the sixth time West Devon councillors will sit at a table, wait for the bell to ring, then have three to four students ask them about local political issues for seven minutes until the bell rings again and the students move on to the next table. Councillors from cross party, parish, borough and county council will be in attendance.
