Alan Purchase, of Northville Park, Kingsbridge, writes If I wish to read national or international news with a ­political slant then I have a number of choices, ranging from the Daily Mail to the Daily Mirror. However, for local news and events I have only one choice – the Gazette. For this reason our local paper should steer clear of the murky world of politics, as per October 3's News of the Weird, and concentrate on reporting on and supporting the local community.
