Charity Clothing Bags
11 Aug 2015

Actually they are not necessarily quite useless for anything else. We had some very dusty building work done in the house a few weeks back and those charity plastic bags came in incredibly handy as dust protectors for cushions and the like. I'd been accumulating them for years just in case they might come in handy at some time - and yes they did!

Isn't 'call me Dave' turning up then?

and of course if families have less money in their pockets then they have less to spend in the local (in this case Dawlish's) economy. Plus bear in mind also that as this reduction in income for the working and non working poor is nationwide then perhaps it may be the case that families that can presently afford a holiday (just) say, down here, may not be able to do so in the near future and ...

Impact: Currently those with assets above £23,250 do not get ...

@A Frame - Have you had a response yet from TDC re the e-mail you sent Nicola Bulbeck about this matter?

@Andysport -The issue that is in dispute is that councillors at Dawlish Town Council were under the impression that all the toilets in that block would be kept open this summer pending the award of the tender and the consequent development of the block into 2/3 toilets and a commercial premises (cycle hire). However, as we all now know the toilets in that block were not kept open by TDC ...

When is the public consultation due to take place? I read that TDC were urging that it should take place as soon as possible (like starting early this month) but it is now the 8th and I haven't seen any publicity at all. Was this matter discussed at the town council planning committee at its meeting on Thursday? If so, and it was discussed in the public part of the meeting, could someone who ...
