Thanks Brazilnut, exactly my point, we need more housing everywhere in the UK and South Devon is no exception.
Housing requirements, easy, ask the council, I know people who have been on the waiting list for over a year and still waiting. About time we stopped talking and got building.
BBC report 30/08/2011 The housing market will be plunged into "crisis"' without government action to address the "chronic under-supply of homes", a body representing housing associations in England has warned. The National Housing Federation (NHF) said it risked locking an entire generation out of the housing market. It predicted further falls in home ownership rates and even higher rents. The ...
Was told today that Sainsbury's are to start a shopping bus service on 10th October, can anyone confirm this?.
Instead of VAT on slot machines the new idea is to impose a new tax every amusement machine, basically it's a tax on turnover, then the companies still have to pay their normal tax.
