ABBROOK Park ladies SDL5 were in action at home against Dawlish Marina and came out on top thanks to a dominant third rink. Losing the first two narrowly, 14-17 and 11-17, can all be forgotten about thanks to a 25-5 victory for Sue Mukherjee, Pam Carwardine and skip Liz Rollason.

It's not illegal but it shows what an absolute lying low life Wrigley is (see below). Anything to become MP on July 4th. It also shows how stupid he is by using these graphs. You only have to look at the local election results last year or Councillor profiles on the Teignbridge District Council website to see that the South Devon Alliance came second, yet Wrigley conveniently omits the official ...

@Daverc You're welcome. The list might change before the 7th June, which is the deadline for candidate registration I think. There has been a lot of lies and misinformation about Labour not standing put out by Wrigley and the Lib Dems. Most recently Wrigley has claimed Jacob Cousens will be studying in Durham and by implication wouldn't have much presence here/or be effective as a MP. Whereas ...

Please read how Buckfastleigh town council go about their business. If only Dawlish Town Council and Teignbridge District Council weren't Lib Dem Dictatorships and were truly inclusive and representative of the people. if only they followed this example.

Event finished D-Day, the 6th of June, 1944, marks one of the most pivotal moments in modern history.

This is the first staged walkout in the history of Teignbridge District Council. It's a disgrace that it has to come to this. It has all occurred under a Liberal Democrat majority and under the leadership of Dawlish ...

The report in the mid Devon Advertiser is incorrect. Wrigley's Lib Dem run TDC were charging around £1800 not the £1000 as reported. I went into the Cancer Screening Unit today at Sainsbury's carpark and asked. The NHS worker also explained that is for a 10 week period, which is pretty extortionate.

SUNDAY 26th May was the first of four Charity Days at Dawlish Bowling Club of 2024.

Last Summer we shared an open letter to parents with the hope of encouraging conversations with young people about their behaviour when visiting Teignmouth. Today we would like to share an adapted letter for this summer. This time of year, the local council Community Safety Partnership and Police teams see an increase in reports of youth-related anti-social behaviour. We are regularly seeing ...

LATESTNEWS | Police have been made aware of information about an event taking place in South Devon tomorrow, [Friday 24 May], and a large number of young people are thought to be attending.

To avoid a repeat of this, there will be ...

@1263 It's officially the run in to the General election on July 4th, so the Lib Dem Cllrs and their supporters are usually more than happy to give up their time and do the odd litter pick. Oh hang on, that's just for photo opportunities in the press and on their social media, posing as community spirited and 'green'. If you've ever seen them picking litter or painting graffiti'd walls you know ...

@1263 Officers are Council staff employed in the various departments from waste and recycling, to housing, electoral services, etc, as opposed to elected members (Councillors).

Under Wrigley much decision making has been taken away from Officers, ...

Yesterday we conducted further work with our South Devon Proactive team.

What a shame that we have to rely on this in the 21st century.

Great idea.

Teignbridge District Council run by Dawlish NE Cllr Martin Wrigley and his Lib Dem majority and their Tory partners in Devon County are doubling down on opposition to their plans for Queen St, Newton Abbot - You know, the plans that traders and the people who actually live there are overwhelmingly opposed to - you may have seen it on the TV or read about it in our awful biased local rag.
