It would appear, at last, that some county chiefs have questioned the costs of the proposed Strand pavilion building.

What an utter shambles. The people who voted for or supported this ill-conceived vanity project only saw what they wanted to see without ever considering any consequences.

It is pretty clear to see why East Devon District Council is running scared of a town poll on the Strand building because, quite frankly, I would not trust them to run a bath at the moment!

You have to seriously question why this project in its current form was allowed to get so far. There should be an investigation and heads should roll.
