"we are going to deliver much more with less" Hmmm.......not likely.

Well I guess there might be given the English climate. (What lovely weather we have today.......)

Has anyone taken any pictures of the new dangerous layout? It sounds really bad.

Yeah I saw one of the signs in teignmouth at the weekend, luckily it's only lasting a week. I wonder if a dog can hold it in that long? Lol

On Friday morning I was driving down The Strand, in my car, towards the junction with the A379. I witnessed an adult male riding his cycle off the A379 and ride up the centre of The Strand towards me. The cyclist bumped up the curb and on to the pavement by Boots and only because I was in his way. It's the same issue for all the anti social behaviour that affects residents of Dawlish. It's not ...

I did wonder if it was access for the park.  Thanks for confirming Lynne.

This is what it says at section 3.9 of the Devon Home Choice policy document 3.9 No local connection to Devon 3.9.1 Applicants who have no local connection to Devon will have their application placed in either: - The Low housing need band (D) if they are assessed as having a housing need (whether this be high, medium or low need), or - The No housing need band (E) if they are assessed ...

The picture of the groynes is outstanding. Well done.

@leatash Thanks for that. It's the first time I have been there for ages as I have had no need to go, but at at least now I know. It is ridiculous that they have taken them away.

An accident waiting to happen......... .and a compensation claim! Some old biddy steps off the coach and a cyclist takes her out! Who pays the compensation for injury? DCC, TDC or DTC? They are all barking mad!!

Well said Carer.

Thank for this link, Lynne. There will be many in the community who would seem to be able to qualify - and with the credits going towards topping up any shortfall in the new state pension, a bit of effort with some form filling could prove very worthwhile.

Get your tickets now before they (LM) disappear into oblivion and be forgotton, never to be heard of again.

So there not allowed to eat? Do you think the Local bobby would care, as long as he or she got a good meal for standing for hours on end saying "sorry or madam you can't come down here" we are lucky to have some of the most incorruptible officers in the world, thanks to them the majority will use proper justice. I am happy with this expenditure, better this than a lot of other things that as a tax ...

Now come on our local councillors told us this would be so and i did see 5 cyclists using the new section this afternoon and later saw the same 5 eating ice cream outside Gays.

Following the Dawlish.com news story about Little Mix at Powderham, I thought they were dead rabbits! Seriously though, thanks DEEDOODLE - great pix!

Well I'm just looking forward to the new President. Donald Trump is a doer not just all talk, a breath of fresh air compared to the norm.

Excellant, at last we are making forward progress.

It wouldn't go amiss to spend a bit of that on making sure the sewage got where it needs to go without leaking out everytime there's a bit of rain!

Yes I've read about liable land having to be registered by the Church (by 2013 I think it was) but..........some mess up in the law means that even if the Cof E didn't meet that 2013 deadline then land not registered by that time can still be liable. This explains why I have heard that those buying houses are now strongly advised by their solicitor to take out chancel repair liability insurance. ...

Apparently there is a new collection point just outside the front doors of Forde House. Comments noted from members of TDC staff include the bin men do a really good job considering its such a thankless task. Maybe they dont get paid as much as Ms Bullneck hence their lack of job satisfaction.

@ZIGGY i know, this lasted less than 24 hours.  it's a really nasty one if a motorbike hits it.  it's still reported on the pothole site, dcc really needs to pull it's collective finger out.  i do hope the contractor doesn't charge twice for this shoddy work.
