Wordplay in 15 clues ignores a letter or a string of letters.
I have bulk of the answers but can't find the redundant letters except in 26a.
Circuit taken to the West Country (5)
I think 'tak' are redundant
11a Email regularly disregarded capital of fashion (5)
Answer Milan . But where do the last 3 come from?
12a Debauched criminal soils Kimberley's truck (9)
Dissolute. Can't parse this except for soils

Thanks in advance

Wordplay ignores a string of letters- where Lan comea from...

[Neveracrossword]

12 Ute, truck in Oz(Kimberley)after anagram of Soils +the thematic stuff

[Toorak]

12 Ute = truck in Australia (Kimberley is in Western Australia)

[roslyn251254]

26a circuit = lap ...reverse it (to the west) ...another 2 letters added will give you a country

[LeenaH]

I have only 2 left now
20a Change interior of image police might circulate (5)
R???t
And 7d
See Standfirst (4,4)
This should be part of theme. Can't figure out

Thanks for all your help

[roslyn251254]

20a efit is the image that police might circulate ...add an R at the front

[donny48]

20 refit, R +e-fit

[tedsgran]

How do these parse please?
28a Hearing individual being expelled from pitch (5) TRIAL??
24d What native Scots did for 21 English (4) veto? (t is from trial)
(answer to 21 is INDYREF )

[donny48]

LeenaH, what is the theme ?

[JJ109]

7 d There is no clue - see standfirst means see the preamble!
The two words both fit the theme and are male names)

[JJ109]

28 Trial (hearing) = tone (pitch)- one (individual)"epelled"= T
Rial (is part of the theme)

[JJ109]

24d VOTE (in the Indyref)

[JJ109]

24d continued
Vote (what native Scots did for 21)= Vote
Vot = thematic
E = English

Thank you JJ109
