I see from looking at the planning correspondence that Mr Nance has been in contact with Ken Dodd in Knotty Ash, Liverpool, seeking his support for this planning application. I imagine that is because of the "Happiness" connection. Might I suggest that if Mr Nance wishes this statue to be erected somewhere that he applies to whatever the name of the council is that covers Knotty Ash and request ...

I see from the planning documents that this application is to be decided by the planning committee ie district councillors. Well at least that might afford some entertaining debate and visible planning decision making rather than the decision being made, quietly, behind the scenes, by planning officers.

Town Bus Service
23 Mar 2015

If it doesn't continue there will be many an elderly person in Dawlish who will desperately miss it as quite a few in that age group use it.

Without this bus service how will they (and others who live elsewhere on the bus route) get in and out of the town, to/from the ...

Planning Application

To return to the Statue of Happiness planning application. So, there I was in the middle of Italy (Tuscany/Umbria - land of Michaelangelo and da Vinci and goodness knows how many other renaissance artists) and I thought I'll just log on to see what's going on and I found this thread. OMG! Did you not hear my hoots of derisive laughter from all those hundreds of miles away? Oh the irony of ...

Oh, he's moved then. Didn't realise. And isn't it a Conservative councillor on Devon County Council representing a ward in Newton Abbot who lives in France?

Warren Farm

@roberta - thanks for bringing that eod thread to my (and others?) attention. This business about TDC and the Warren. Take a look at the revenue they get from the car parks. To use a particularly apt expression those car parks and the revenue they generate is the goose that lays a golden egg for TDC. (£££££££ssssss). Would TDC shoot that goose? Could TDC afford to shoot that goose? Also ...
