I READ with interest your article last week about the Community Organisations Liaison Panel.Exmouth is a town of immense natural assets: seafront with sandy beach, riverfront with special scientific interest status and boating potential, stunning views across water to the Haldon Hills, estuary cyclepath, World Heritage Coastline - near to commons and cathedral city etc. etc. What other town can boast such assets?'Regeneration' is necessary - to focus on the town's assets and bring prosperity to the town. The fullest possible communication and debate must be made possible between councillors and citizens. At last dialogue between citizens and decision-makers is within sight. Welcome to the proposal for a liaison panel of town council and community organisations, announced by Councillors Williamson and Nicholas at the town meeting last week. Such a channel of communication has never been more needed.Democracy is about debate.Jan Pawson,1 Greenacre, 5 Isca Road, Exmouth.
