A dialogue is now open it seems. An Open Letter from Save our Sidmouth was published in the Sidmouth Herald on Friday 15th March. It was signed by the constituent groups of SOS, namely the Sid Vale Association, Sidmouth Chamber of Commerce, Sidmouth Hospitality Association, Sidmouth Futures Forum and the Knowle Residents Association.
It has prompted the response from EDDC’s Communications Officer, Nick Stephen, at this link: http://www.eastdevon.gov.uk/communications_and_consultation.htm?newsid=805
