Sidmouth Independent News is pleased to say that since its inception, others in East Devon have established similarly well-informed blogs on EDDC-related issues. To avoid duplication, SIN is now taking a long pause, but may well be back on line in early 2015.
Some alternative sites that can be referred to are
http://eastdevonalliance.org (with useful LINKS list)
the futuresforum blogspot at http://www.visionforsidmouth.org
http://www.saveoursidmouth.com
and of course the especially informative and popular blogs by Independent Councillors at these links http://www.claire-wright.org and https://susiebond.wordpress.com
Thanks all SIN-ers for the constant contributions and hundreds of thousands of hits since SIN”s opening post on 27 Sept 2012, Good Morning, Sid Valley. The website’s archive will continue to be of use, not least ,we suspect, in the run-up to the May 2015 elections.

Many thanks for all your hard work in keeping us informed on the otherwise
impenetrable workings of local government
Thank you for a most fascinating insight into the machinations of EDDC and so helping us campaigners to mount our assaults and win quite a few! A well earned break and EDA will have a lot to live up to.
