I refer to your story in this last week's paper about the removal of paintings from the community cafe in Dartmouth.

What is the point of such exaggerated reporting? 'Hauled down', what ridiculous terminology.

Why would you seek to disparage a group of people who do so much for our town is so disheartening and disappointing?

I have been lucky enough to have been involved with Dartmouth Caring and Dee Nutt who works tirelessly for the elderly.

I think a written apology is in order to Mrs Nutt, at least, as I believe if you really look into this simple act instead of listening to 'tittle-tattle', you would uncover a different set of circumstances.
