Former councillor returns from Cyprus on visit to Sidmouth

AN old face made a welcome return to Sidmouth Town Council for its July meeting on Monday.

Former councillor Alan Pascoe and his wife Joy joined members of the public to listen to the debate for the council’s monthly meeting.

The couple moved to Cyprus five years ago and decided to take in a visit to the council during a return trip to Sidmouth.

He was impressed with the recent improvements carried out to Woolcombe House, the town council’s offices.

The Pascoes had lived in Sidmouth for six years before deciding to head for the sunshine in Paphos.

Two years ago Councillors Ann and Graham Liverton enjoyed a visit to the couple’s home in Cyprus and reported Alan (pictured) had his town shied in pride of place in his lounge.
