Unless the law has changed since I knew, you can operate a two way radio whilst driving. However police radios now incorporate a mobile phone which arguably means that its use falls under the same legislation as mobile phones. This means that if a police car is is single manned, the driver will have to park legally before talking on the radio. In a fast moving emergency situation (such as a ...

This country is a total sh*t hole.
Someone contacted me earlier today expressing concern that Sandy Lane Playing fields would now be under threat of development given that Dawlish is to have a new country park. For info this is what I replied and what I understand the situation to be. The country park has to be an additional green space to that which already exists so it is no threat to Sandy Lane playing fields. Sandy ...

@monty So your grievence is with the council not the travellers, Romany's etc. The original campers up on Haldon were a mixed bunch of hippies, new age travellers, society drop outs and the odd one or two that couldnt afford to live any other way. Some I know actually did have jobs taxed and insured their vans but as your point fell into the very same catogory as any others that couldnt afford ...

L ocked in the bone-clenching midwinter chill, Devon lies silent under a pewter sky. At Dawlish Warren the beach is deserted, but inland the Exe estuary is bursting with life.

Thanks Lynne.
Well I will be interested to know if the town centre CCTV is switched on as I think it was inactive for a very long time. I hope it was working and captured images of the vermin who attacked the Costcutter manger so they can be caught and dealt with severely. The council need to provide CCTV at CC but I bet they won't!
