I?AM sure that everyone is well aware that Okehampton needs a coach park but why the secrecy? Why weren't the residents of the Mill Road flats and Lillicrap Court shown the courtesy of being told. It is rather concerning that our representatives on the town council don't feel able, or want to discuss important issues — like this one — with the community before rather than after the event. With regard to Cllr Ball using money from his locality fund to partially fund their work we have to assume that health and safety issues, highways and the police have approved the scheme, otherwise this money will have been wasted. I am not disputing that our councillors work hard, but there are concerns — not just me — about the way this has been done. Edna Hicks Abbeyford Court Okehampton
