The Save Our Sidmouth blog anticipated last night's council meeting:

The uproar in Exmouth about the process and consequences of the Exmouth Seafront Plans, may be relevant to our own seafront development. This evening’s Full Council meeting has already attracted strong media interest. Public wanting to know more are welcome to attend this last Full Council meeting of the year at Knowle Council Chamber. Come early to ensure a seat!
