I'm putting 2 +2 together and coming up with a farmer that actually owns Cofton not ladys mile though it's the same surname. either way, it's their land they paid for the driveway they should be allowed to put boulders on it.

Lynne "the zero hours contracts" The reason employers have done this is because If you sack someone or make them redundant you find yourself in a tribunal which costs a minimum of £5000 in costs alone. Its easier to just not invite them back to work again, it has been forced on employers by government rules & the claim culture we seem to have. Many years ago we made someone redundant instead of ...

Powderham Pig Factory

Hi, We live approx 1 mile from this site as the crow flies, though approx 600 metres away from an outdoor pig farm, I must say we haven't smelt anything in 6 months.

The trouble is a £140,000 house ...

So as of the 1st April anyone with an empty property (even for a day) has to pay 50% council tax. I believe the result of this for landlords will be More council tax in the pot though less income tax as therefore less profit Landlords may decide to sell their properties meaning, the market gets an over supply of housing thus bringing house values down which in turn currently would ...

New Warren Chippy
15 Feb 2013

We have been told the chip shop in Newton abbot is the best around (eat in as well) so we went over yesterday for lunch 9 of us arrived at 2.03pm only to find it had shut, all the staff were inside, they didn't want our business. Maybe we should have stayed here and walked down the warren. We will try the new one next week.
