In that case JC, I was referring specifically to the appearancec of the railway wall and I'm disappointed to see that such an iconic and beautiful stretch has been scarred by the concrete sections. As you point out, it's a railway wall and not a seawall, therefore even more reason to think it could have been restored more sympathetically.
No JC, I've seen it but I was hoping the concrete was merely the substrate which would be clad in material similar to the original 'cobble' appearance. Weathering won't achieve that. And Pete, sleaze off will you.
Maybe I should appreciate that the sea wall is being rebuilt full stop but I'm massively disappointed by the concrete sections which are more akin to what you see on a new motorway. I thought the work would have been sympathetic to the original wall and faced off to match, not patched up.
My birthplace is in my DNA but I'm British. These islands are too small to be divvying them up even further. What next, devolution by county?
Thanks for the post Lynne. I notice they say "Come and enjoy the great views from the coast path, along the recently repaired seawall." I hope no-one's disappointed with the picturesque detour along Exeter Road ;)
@User4549. Thank you for your charming private message informing me that the Webmaster didn't warn you off. Maybe you missed it. Here it is: Webmaster 8 Dec 2013 10.57 @User 4549 , your last post with the same title 'islam at its best' turned out to be a hoax for which you apologised. in your new post, some muslims broke the law and were jailed for doing so. so why is this ...
Not the first time User 4549 has done this. The Webmaster warned him/her off last time, hope he's watching closely.
Margaret, you say "a good deal of research goes into each application". What research was done? Was last year's programme discussed with the Carnival committee, are attendance numbers increasing, are donations increasing, are participants increasing, are advertising revenues increasing, was the approval unanimous? What made the Carnival application worthy of the same amount of grant money as ...
The Carnival is over, or at least it should be while incompetents are on the committee. There is nothing in their shenanigans of the last two years that suggests they know how to run a business. The question is whether the council committee members will have the courage to tell them to take a hike for fear of upsetting the applecart. It might seem like a controversial decision to deny them ...
Warrior, I think we've got your message loud and clear now, so in the spirit of balance, is there anything the Tories or Blair's lot have done that you approve of?
