I love hearing Big Ben through the night when in Westminster. So many parish churches fight to keep their bells ringing and I do despair why you would move to a village with a century of church bells like lovely Witheridge and then complain about them. I wish I could say that it is unbelievable that the Lib Dem run North Devon Council have done this but unfortunately they do seem to relish wasting taxpayers money on this kind of thing. I do hope that they can at least refund Witheridge Parish Council for this nonsense and trust cockerels in the area are safe from similar orders in the future.
