Okey (how appropriate?) dokey then. And as I know I keep saying on here time and time again one way of communicating thoughts, ideas, questions whatever to the wider public as well as the decision makers is by way of letters to our local paper. For example, I think you'll find there is an open letter to our MP in today's Gazette about the possible breakwater, its funding and other related ...
