General Discussion
Why have council provided services been declining? Well ,perhaps the fact that over the past 10 years or so the amount of money given to local councils from central government has been cut back and cut back and cut back. So....if there is a reduction in income from central government then councils have to reduce their expenditure/raise income in other ways. "By 2020, local authorities ...
Noted in the circular from the Lib-Dems that Devon County Councilh as millions in the bank. So why are we paying ever increasing rates for ever decreasing services.- I notice NO local councillor has cutting or holding rate increases as thier priority but are more intrested in "holistic " projects and how long they have lived in the area amd think everything is rosey in the garden. ...
The cygnet that was attacked yesterday by the dog is doing ok. It will be kept under observation for a couple of more days and has had antibiotics for the puncture wounds to its belly. The rest of the family are doing fine. Please keep all dogs on leads!

If illegal drugs are being brought onto the coast by boat as you allege then it is definitely a matter for ...
@Vicks, why would you think my post wasn't serious? Or backed up by verified evidence, Sounded quite a hostile response to me! Is it so improbable we have a drugs problem in Dawlish? The wall is owned by Network Rail, the coastguard cannot move the people on the wall on. However, the week prior to the most recent episode, the men waiting and signalling out to sea were scared off when a helicopter ...
Margaret Swift I would suggest calling the Coastguard via 999 if you witness it again. My post was not meant to be hostile. 1263 - sorry, don't understand your banter on this occasion.
@vicks - surely your not anothr of these "woke" people.?
