Dear
Resident of Sidmouth please may I ask for your support in the coming
election. I am currently your Town and District Councillor. I can relate to
hard working local families and senior citizens who struggle to pay increases
in essentials. It is for this reason I will fight to keep Council Tax as low
as possible. I care passionately about Sidmouth and its future and the need to
retain the appeal of Sidmouth to visitors. We must keep the vitality of our
shops, hotels, guest houses and businesses thriving to maintain prosperity for
our beautiful Town. I will endeavour to reflect all aspects for the benefit of
everyone in the community. I will continue to work hard and be accessible. It
would be a privilege for me to serve you again as your Conservative District
Councillor. Yours sincerely, Frances

They have traded as Vinnicombe’s in Sidford and Sidmouth for nearly 40 yrs and believe they understand the hearts and minds of Sidmouth people.
