SIR - In last Friday’s Herald report (p15) about the Keith Owen Fund grant for the Sidmouth Hopper summer bus service, the starting date of this year’s service is given as May 1.

It should have stated June 1, as in previous years, and I apologise for this error when briefing your reporter Stefan. We are looking forward to another successful summer for this popular amenity.

John Dyson

Chairman, Sidmouth Hopper Working Party
