‘ Last Sunday’s picnic in celebration of The Ham open space took place in bright sunshine, suiting the mood of the organisers, and catching the attention of a steady stream of passers-by. Information sheets showing the Scoping Study single ‘Proposal’, as displayed at the public consultation, were the subject of much discussion and concern from locals and visitors alike. More signatures were eagerly added to the paper copies of the 3Rs petition, calling for Retain-Refurbish-Reuse, an alternative plan for Port Royal. ..with the numbers already far outweighing  the signatures collected online.

The view the petition, search 38 degrees Sidmouth Retain . It will be handed in to the joint Scoping Study partners, East Devon District Council, and to Sidmouth Town Council which next meets on Monday 4th September,  6.30pm at Woolcombe House, Woolcombe Lane. Public can attend the meeting.’
