What a joke, the clue is in the name TRAVELLERS, so travel. People who work hard and have young families can't afford properties, yet these drop outs get it handed to them on a plate. Over a million quid for two pitches is a joke. How many house could be built for that.?
Appalling, no affordable housing, which is what Dawlish needs.
Awful, have to spoilit for everyone. Arson is a horrible crime.I hope the police are sucessful in catchig the low lifes who did it .. Commiserations to the owners.
Am I missing something. Why do residents think they have the right to use the manor as a car park. People who pay to use the Manor often can' park. It isn't a car park. I'm sorry if they have nowhere to park, but don't expect a free ride. You know when you buy your house there is no parking, so stop whinging and find somewhere else to park.
I know a lot about addiction and have worked with addicts and alcoholics, some are beyond help. I know for a fact many of the ones in Dawlish have been offered help and accomodation, but they blow it. I never said they had a choice, addiction is a disease, so I don't blame them for that but I do blame them for not choosing to address their addictions. I am certainly not right wing, and I object to ...
DC24601, I don't think anyone gives to beggers these days. Big Issue sellers yes, buskers yes, but beggers no way. Why would you give money for them to buy cigarettes. I gave up 'cos I couldn't afford them and am aware of the health issues. We have a really nasty group of people in Dawlish at the moment. They are intimidating and unpleasant. Lets have a police presence in the town. I thought ...
Outside the ladies toilet by the tourist office waiting for ladies to come out, and asking them for money for cigarettes. Not on. All the others were in the shelter, so nothing has changed except the begging is new.
Oh goody a misogonistic, zenophobic homophobic racist. in a position of such power. Welit was obvious the ignorant rednecks wold vote for him. Clinton is no great shakes but I know who I prefer. If he continues hs anti muslim rants, America may find themselves with another 9 11 atrocity. Most americans don't even have a passport, they are so insular, no idea what the real world is like. God help ...
So what happens to the patients who are now homeless. Care in the community is a joke. There are not enough homes, or staff to check they are taking medication. Crisis teams are in crisis. When will people realise how serious this is. We are all keen to support cancer patients, heart patients etc. But there is still stigma attached to mental illness. One in three people will at some point ...
This land should be used to build an acute mentlhealth facility. These disenfranchised abandoned people are on the streets or in prison. Or wrongly placed in care homes, because there is no where for them to go. Watcome closed Spurfield closed. St Michaels in Newto Abbott closed. Never mind we'll just build more houses. It's a scandal.
