SIR - Once again a few lines to acknowledge the generosity of the people in this area of East Devon – Ottery St Mary, Seaton, Honiton, Sidmouth and Beer who have donated just over �3000 to the Help for Heroes Fund since January of this year.

A special thanks to the 100 or so shops, hotels and pubs who have taken a collection tin. If any establishment would like one, I’d be happy to deliver.
