I have looked at the feedback report form and found that what I have said in my letter is not what is written in the summary. I have said that a retail outlet at Sidford would be to the detriment of the town of Sidmouth. The summary says that I am concerned about the retail outlets in Sidford.
Do you know if I can correct this as what they have written doesn’t make sense?
