Such an arrangement is in place elsewhere in parts of Devon, Lynne, as noted in the case of Exmoor NP above, however this is what it says in the DHC User Guide regarding the highest band of housing need, which would in certain circumstances override the necessity for a Devon connection: Band A – Emergency Housing Need: Your application will only be placed in this band if your need ...
Good question on Affordable Housing, Lynne. While the highest Devon Home Choice Housing Needs Bands A, B and C (Emergency, High and Medium) will generally apply to those already living and/or working in Devon, Band D (Low) will apply if you have no connection to Devon. Given that Devon's local authorities are having difficulty enough in housing the higher band needs, it would be unlikely that ...
As many will know, Tuck's Plot mini-golf course is Teignbridge District Council owned and run. Last summer, proposals for a new cycle path crossing Tuck's Plot were shown by DCC to Dawlish Town Council members by way of consultation. At this consultation, suggestions for alternative uses for the somewhat dilapidated site allowing the area to be more attractively landscaped were proposed ...

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

Bearing that in mind, I would recommend to everyone who has yet to receive the govenment pension to double-check their date of retirement and what to expect from the new State Pension using the website below ...
Thank you Lynne for helping raise awareness of this very important issue. As you point out, women born after 5th April 1950 will be affected by the changes to their Government Pension age, due to the impact of the 1995 Pensions Act, in which a schedule to increase the retirement age for women from 60 to 65 was enacted. Those women born after 6th April 1953 however, are (and will be) ...

Thanks for the petition link Lynne. Obviously the more that sign the petition better - and as with all these things it will be good to see what sort of response this will generate.
Isn't that what this cherry-picking exercise is really all about?
