THE Rev Barrie Duke is very unhappy with the composition of the Market and Coastal Town Initiative Steering Group (Letters, August 23).

This group is very flexible. May I request Mr Duke and anyone who would like to get involved and have a voice in the steering group to join it and contribute to it in any way they can. No one should feel omitted from the group.

Please contact Paul Tucker of the South West Regional Development Agency, tel no 01392 382535 or his email [email protected]">[email protected]

The steering group will be most useful if its membership goes across all sections of the community.
