General Discussion
Was the question about avoiding inheritance tax liability or assigning your home to your children while you're still in good health to avoid the cost of a care home later on? With the latter, it's not a fat cat device, 'ordinary' people do it to deprive themselves of a means tested asset. Their children are up for it because their inheritance doesn't get eroded.
I agree with you Margaret, but it's hardly an insightful observation deserving of such self-congratulation!
Hope they take it to a vet who will know if it's microchipped.
Enforced absence? Was it at the pleasure of Her Majesty then?
Would be interested to know if any of our Town Councillors are considering standing for TDC.
The question is not what the issues are but why they weren't resolved as originally promised. The insurance shortfall is a smokescreen, if the money was there they still couldn't do it because they haven't organised it properly. Not long after the fire I read that the Holmans were pleased with the new plans so what stopped TDC - why wasn't planning permission obtained and the work scheduled? ...
TDC is trotting out the same excuse they gave last year - they want to replace the cafe with something 'bigger and better', with running water and electricity. That's obviously good however they've yet to figure out how to do it due to 'budgets' and 'staff shortages'. If they ever do figure it out it will no doubt be delayed even further by planning applications and NR access restrictions. ...
You mean set the wheels of 'The Big Society' in motion? That would be a very strong message to TDC.
Bet it wouldn't have happened if it had been in Teignmouth, TDC care more about that place. How short is the insurance money? Maybe the Town Council could divert the 5k they will otherwise flush down the Carnival toilet. Rock Pool Cafe presents Dawlish far more positively.
If I'm reading it right, the plans provide an extension to the existing cycle path on Exeter Road , not changing what's there already. The new path covers the stretch from East Cliff Road into the town.
