AS a regular subscriber to the Times, I was delighted and encouraged by the excellent coverage given to the town of Okehampton recently.

There were lots of photographs of people supporting different groups on Edwardian Evening; news about a protest concerning the proposed closure of the Okement Surgery; reports of various political meetings; publicity given to the Rotary and Inner Wheel and tribute was paid to Donald Rook in appreciation for his many years of dedication to making sure that Okehampton was always lit up for Christmas. 

To all working at the newspaper headquarters many thanks.
