MAY I wish all residents of Mid Devon a relaxing Christmas and a happy New Year.

The year 2023 has been difficult for many of us with the higher cost of living, energy charges and even the weather.

Let us hope that the coming year will be kinder to us all.

Let us also think of those poor innocent people caught up in international wars.

We must count our blessings that we live in a peaceful and relatively prosperous country.

In these trying times officers and members of Mid Devon District Council will continue to work hard to give residents the high standard of services that they expect and deserve.

Cllr Frank Letch MBE

Chairman

Mid Devon District Council
