The letter written in desperation by Patricia Longridge moved me deeply. How can anyone living in a residential block of flats have to put up with disturbance like this? The local council must put a stop to this immediately.

Exmouth has been reduced to a town of pubs, take-aways, lager louts and no decent shops. Most people have to go elsewhere, to Sidmouth, Budleigh or Exeter, to shop.

Shame on Exmouth councillors – pull your socks up and let’s have a lovely town back to how it used to be.
