Has anyone else noticed the plethora of signage that has appeared on Teignmouth Road? There are now 10 x 40mph signs each way (so 20 in total) located in the one mile stretch between Lea Mount and Derncleugh Gardens! What a waste of money - must be trying to use up this year's budget.

Hmmm..... Suggest you read Sect 3.9 of the Devon Home Choice Policy Document. You will then be able to decide for yourself how easy it is for people with no local ties to get Home Choice properties in Teignbridge with a little help from their own area Housing Officer. Additionally Sect 1.5.9 states that "Each of the organisations involved in the Devon Home Choice Partnership has an ...

Agree with Gary's analysis of Home Choice. I doubt many Dawlishians would agree that people from say Barnstaple, Ilfracombe etc should be considered 'local' for housing priority...but they are. This does not just apply to Devonians though. It is recognised that Housing Officers can re-grade 'problem cases' to give them a better chance of housing outside of their jurisdiction thus passing ...

Can't see any flats listed on the plan. Any affordable housing wouldn't go to local people anyway due to the Devon Home Choice Scheme. One parking space for each unit provided. It doesn't look like a bad development for my old school.

I'm with Monty on this. The problem will only get worse until the Home Choice Schemes are stopped. If you live in a big city,. on benefits, why would you not want to come to the seaside and receive the same benefits?

Judas H Priest. This is why I only look at this site sparingly. Someone asked about crabs then insullts happen. I think the crabs are used in lobster and other pots which is why they are left. The more 'stinky' the better when used as bait.

@slargemail How's that 5th column looking now you naive buffoon? RIP to all those who died in Paris & my heart goes out to the families and those injured.

The Govt. want HAs to take over the responsibility for building social housing. They're not doing a bad job of it but need more public money. By definition a HA is not-for-profit so only has limited resources of its own to plough back in annually.

Sainsburys roundabout

Based on what DJ is saying then, if your travelling towards Exeter you could use the right hand lane and go straight on? That won't work. Normally, if there are 2 lanes going into a roundabout and only one lane on each exit, there will be signage and arrows on the road to indicate the lane. There aren't any on this roundabout.

Who's still here then?
