@Morty Vicker re your post dated 12.5.16 21:18 Any chance you could post the text of that letter on here or post a link that would take us to the text?

Anyone know what the reaction is amongst the Exeter electorate about all this? I've only found this (and scroll down to read the comments) ...
Unfortunately the polls for the local councils are some 3 and a bit years away and if a week is a long time in politics then ............. That said, perhaps people would like to ask our Dawlish TDC councillors more about all of this both via e-mail and via letters in the Gazette. And yes, perhaps the top earners at the BBC and the artistes themselves could indeed make a donation/waive their ...
