General Discussion
@A Frame , Our complaints were regarding the expectation of Dawlish Town Councillors that the toilet block should have remained open (per seasonal requirements)) until the successful conclusion of the tender for the bike hire business and the subsequent conversion and reconfiguration of the block to provide bike hire and toilets. First, for the avoidance of doubt, a recent potted ...
Not a moment too soon! Thanks Ziggy. Gary Taylor
At the TALC meeting on 30th July (Teignbridge Association of Local Councils) Nichola Bulbeck was quizzed about the Warren toilets by Martin Wrigley and I. Apparently she considers what has happened there as a "success story". Who has she been listening to, I wonder? Gary Taylor
Best take a look at their website for their collection and compost costs Andysport, as they have recently updated their service range and pricing. What may suit many gardeners is that GoGreenDevon offer an ad hoc arrangement (as often as weekly - but also as infrequently as you would wish) that you could flex to suit the seasons.

May you never have a puncture, Netiquette. Gary Taylor
@Netiquette , Bob Bowen came to the Manor House to ask councillors for their help. Would anyone not wish to support a local business in any way they could? Gary Taylor
Thanks ZIGGY, but I've just paid £2 for a hard copy. Lots of good stuff - hope the paying public enjoy all of the effort that has gone into the 8 day event, whoever is running the show.

I have also learned that the tender will not be re-evaluated but it will be the Portfolio Holder ...
