Tim Trent, of Coombe Road, Dartmouth, writes:

If the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta committee had put the enormous water-filled ruts right straight after the regatta, then there would be no £17,000 to argue about.

Let them take it out of their insurance and stop complaining.

The solution is simple. Unless they put it right by the spring, make them forfeit the right to use Coronation Park for 2016. They broke it, make them mend it. We want our park back in proper order.
