Having a laugh...

Published: 9:24 AM October 7, 2011    Updated: 6:37 PM November 7, 2020

I am confused. Can someone please explain how or why Budleigh Town Council carry on the way they do?

This business with the development of the Greenway Lane allotment site is both serious and a joke.

Serious, because of the effect the housing estate development will have on the local area.

And a joke because the players in this game of planning ding-dong must be having a laugh at those who are resisting the destruction of a valued open space.

I must withdraw the thank you from my last letter.
