in response to a letter in the Journal of February 19 written by Karen Bamsey (Exmothian born and bred). As part owner of Urban Republic, I take great offence to her comments saying that there are no decent men's clothes shops in Exmouth. As an independent store, we offer both men's and ladies' designer fashion wear and stock clothing to suit a wide age group.Maybe Karen Bamsey would like to visit our store, which is situated in the Magnolia Centre and has been for the past 12 years? We want to encourage people to shop in Exmouth and not drive them away with negative comments as made by Karen Bamsey. Local people need to support their local shops.
