• ‘Wishing you all success in your efforts’
• ‘I was so pleased to read in the Sidmouth Herald that SOS are hoping to employ a specialist planning consultant to campaign against EDDC’s proposals for Knowle and the development of land between Sidford and Sidbury … it has always been my fear that one day attempts would be made to join Sidford to Sidbury … I am afraid that Sidmouth and its surrounds will lose its special charms … I wish SOS every success’

Further afield

• ‘I am certainly one of those who are outraged at the EDDC plans for future developments in the Sid Valley …Why oh why do councils and other large organisations put plans out for consultation and then totally ignore the people who have been consulted? Travelling around the country, we feel that Sidmouth is unique and what is so wrong in keeping it that way? In the last 20 years or so there have been a lot of new houses built in the area and I think to do much more development, industrial or otherwise, would risk destroying a wonderful town and surrounding villages. All good wishes with your campaign’ (Smethwick)
