Mike Fice, Salcombe town mayor, writes:

I write in connection with last week’s article, Gazette, August 7, regarding the Salcombe park-and-ride as I was very disappointed that the position of Salcombe Town Council was not fully given despite the information being provided.

There are three relevant points that were omitted from the article:

1. The park-and-ride is ­maintained by Salcombe Town Council from monies received from the council tax payers

of the town and there is no ­contribution from the traders – apart from those who advertise on the bus.

2. Salcombe Town Council questions the estimate of the numbers of affected vehicles quoted.

3. Salcombe Town Council has agreed to meet with Kingsbridge & Salcombe Chamber of Commerce to ­discuss the points raised after the summer recess.
