East Devon District Council has issued a press release asking why only 200 people have commented on its Exmouth Masterplan (0.5% of people in the district).

Perhaps they are like the people of Seaton, where I live - they and we know, from bitter experience, that EDDC takes absolutely no notice whatsoever of what local people think and the surprising thing is that 200 people don’t know this.
