Politicians just can't win can they?  If they ask for an opnion then they're being intrusive and nosy, if they don't ask then it means they don't care!  It's better to be asked for an opinion, then choose not to give it than not to be asked at all.

I'm very happy!  At last they've given us control over how we manage our pensions, which means I'll finally be able to retire six months earlier than previously planned.  (I'm over retirement age but still working part time.)

I'd like to see a really good deli, and a fish shop, also a book shop (which could double up as an internet cafe).   A wool / craft shop would also be good to have. It would be a lot busier if it didn't have so many charity shops all competing with each other.  You need more variety if you want to encourage more shoppers.

The narrow parts of the Strand are great - they'll slow traffic down and give pedestrians more space.  I'm looking forward to seeing it all finished.  So far it's looking good.

You don't have to be rich to enjoy a cup of coffee! Don't blame the shops for not having the paving done, it was their landlords decision, but it's a shame some of them opted out.

Thanks, Brazilnut, I'll give it a go.

Dawlish, it's a great place to live.  I have a good job in Exeter with an easy 25 minure commute to work along a scenic road.  We have a supermarket and the town centre is starting to look great after its revamp.  There's a Blue Flag beach and walking on Dartmoor isn't far away.  Haldon Forest is within easy reach.  And we have a great city, Exeter, on our doorstep with all its work, leisure and ...

I thought it was just two spaces to be used for Taxis, and outside the cafe, not the launderette.

I'd be very grateful if the Carnival people would update their website and Facebook page.  I have family who are visiting for a few days this summer and they'd like to be able to plan their visit around whatever Carnival events are on. They'd also like to know whether the fair will be here this year and, if so, when

Please, please, PLEASE, don't feed seagulls from your town centre garden.  A nearby neighbour of ours has just been out feeding the seagulls so we've had 30 to 40 of them wheeling overhead, which in itself, isn't a problem as they've all gone now - what is a problem is that the seagulls then expect food whenever they see any person in any garden.  It gets worse when they are trying to make their ...

I've often thought that a visit to Coryton Cove would be enhanced if only I had a cold glass of Chardonney or a cool beer, and I love to hear street music anywhere.  Provided the hours are realistic (ie not late into the night) then why not?  It's a great idea.

Chaos can lead to loveliness! There were lots of visitors in town today enjoying themselves.  The sun was shining, there were groups of people on the beach and lawns walking and picnickng, bowling in full swing, and black swans sunning themselves on the lawn.  The seafront is mended, with a flatter and larger space for tables and chairs outside the cafe than before. The Strand is, admittedly, ...
