A BID to extend the opening hours of a kebab shop to the early hours has not been backed by town planners - despite an incredible 58 letters of support.

Resident Chris Greenway said: "The passage of time should not be a catalyst to soften the existing planning permission granted.

"Exmouth is full of late night takeaways to the point of saturation.
"Having a kebab shop in this location is bad enough - we don't need longer opening hours."
The town council did support an extension to 1am. The plans will now be considered by the district council.
