A recent and frequent correspondent to the Budleigh Journal is a Major William Morris-Paper (Ret’d), who gives his address as Granary Lane.

As one of the Budleigh town councillors (and a district councillor) who has been the target of his criticisms, I wanted to get in touch with the major to talk through our apparent differences.

Sadly, Major Morris-Paper is not in the Electoral Roll, nor is he in the telephone directory, so I have been unable to do so.

Perhaps the major is writing under a pseudonym or maybe he does not actually exist!

I invite him to ‘come out’.

My own details are readily available in the telephone directory and on the East Devon District Council website.
