He's not wrong.

@Ziggy Well done, that's fantastic. Thank you for the link. Your update also resulted in the deletion of your opening line, after I'd pointed it out; "We need your help! We need your views!" It's clear you're a Councillor. It's clear which one in particular. You don't want to discuss my reply to this topic you've posted in the Discussion section then? Or any replies to any topic it ...

Were you aware that Dawlish Town Council has Town Councillor Surgeries? Every 2 weeks - Saturdays 10 a.m. until 12 p.m. In 4 different locations; Dawlish Library Holcombe Village Hall, Cockwood Village Hall St Mary’s Hall Dawlish Warren It is a “...surgery system, similar to those operated by many MPs, where any concerns within the parish may be raised.” and “Councillors will be on ...

@Ziggy if you don't want to discuss the Manor Gardens bridge why don't you post your news item and updates in the News section? And please reference the quote (the paper or website, etc), otherwise why should anyone believe this quote was from Cllr Dawson? Why can't the bridge be constructed from wood? It is a renewable resource, cheaper than metal and it only has to bear the weight of ...

@carer The person is making a valid point about set up .Your response about moaning about anything and everything is way of the mark, he or she has as much right as anyone else to raise issues for debate. "After all no one is forcing you to read them" is your quote.......

It's not FREE in any case. The agencies aren't working at this event out of the kindness of their hearts, they're all funded by the taxpayer. And collectively these agencies and Councils aren't improving the situation. The funding just keeps them all in work and contributes to their pensions. So kind that all these agencies can club together for a slow cooker, air-fryer and electric blanket. ...

@Cassandra Could you expand on that? This is the discussion section after all. I don't know if you read the original post or looked at the link, but Expat's comment is accurate. Dawlish was an elegant seaside resort in Georgian and Victorian times - mainly due to three men who by the way weren't from the town. Given that it was originally a small fishing village, a lot of people would've moved ...

Thanks for pointing that out @Carer . It's been corrected now!

@Carer I don't really expect any Lib Dem Councillors or voters/supporters to comment. But it is worthwhile bringing attention to the fact that won't ever engage in debate about their severley suspect administration in Teignbridge District Council and highlighting their many failings. Whether in Council Chambers where they deny opposition motions or with the public in person or online. There are ...

@1263 Agreed they're all just establishment 'yes' men and 'yes' women, mainly men of a certain age bracket, class and dominated by their own egos. I'm all for Independents, but not the likes of Independent Voices for Dawlish (at least the 2023 version) who were basically organized by two disaffected Lib Dems and offered nothing different to the Lib Dems and Tories.

@1263 This year in particular.  He wants to become MP full stop. Where and representing whom probably doesn't matter at all.

@1263 Yes, it's pretty feudal. Maybe a Director or two does an hour here or there, but judging from the website the sessions are predominantly delivered by unpaid workers. They don't even pay the Ukrainian translator who's an 'ad-hoc' volunteer, that's a highly skilled role. https://rootscommunityenhancement.org/about-us Nowadays the core work of charities and social entreprises increasingly ...
