By on Editor's Choice, Exmouth, News

Plans for 59 retirement apartments and an office block off Salterton Road in Exmouth have been unanimously panned by town councillors. Civic leaders tonight (Monday) blasted proposals for the four-storey ‘extra care’ facility – exclusively for over-70s – earmarked for a plot next to Tesco.
