The magazine is issued quarterly and the basic costs are therefore £8,100 per issue or £32,400 per annum.

Over the six issues to date the cost has therefore been £48,600.

In these days of cuts and the best use of resources do you agree that this is a sensible use of your council tax?

If you do, then I’m sure Rother District Council would be glad to hear it, at Town Hall, Bexhill, East Sussex TN39 3JX.
