I am sure I am not alone in writing to express my disgust at the recent verbal attack on Councillor Ray Franklin.

I am sure I am not alone in writing to express my disgust at the recent verbal attack on Councillor Ray Franklin.

If this is the way that the "anti-Longboat Cafe supporters" wish to behave, then I would not wish to have anything to do with them.

Whatever one's views, this should not be the way any resident of Budleigh should behave, and it is certainly no way to protest at the way a councillor voted.

This woman should be named and shamed and made to give a public apology to Councillor Franklin.

I hope that the heart condition suffered by the councillor can soon be treated, so that he may continue to work for the council.
