Since the beginning of last month the public has been voting in their many thousands for one of the West Country’s five capital cities to have their very own MONOPOLY for this year.
And Exeter has emerged triumphant, with the announcement being made today at Exeter’s Guildhall.
Devon’s capital city saw off the capitals of Cornwall, Somerset, Dorset and Wiltshire in the poll.
Exeter commanded 34.3% of the vote ahead of Dorchester (26.1%), Taunton (15.3%); Trowbridge (14.7%) and Truro (9.6%).
Now the public will get to vote all over again over a one week...
