SIR - The county has had serious snow in many areas over the past week. Sidmouth did not have snow until yesterday - it lasted a couple of hours in the morning.

We had reason to phone the EEDC at 3pm yesterday only to be told the offices were closed due to adverse weather conditions but would be open next morning.

I dread to think how often they will be closed IF they move to Honiton - Honiton has had serious snow for a week!
