One Less Tory
21 May 2011

To stage a one-off election for a single seat on a Town Council is estimated to cost £10,000. Make her pay the costs, I say.

21 May 2011

So now there are only 5 Tories on Town Council! Can't believe Mrs Lawson has resigned after just two weeks and only hours after signing her Declaration of Acceptance - what a waste of bloody money - typical Tory!! Let's hope that voters remember this whenever the election happens. Power to the IVFD.

Well done council
21 May 2011

Completely agree with JW. Was good to see again this morning that comb-over man from the council was clearing some of the flotsam at Red Rock Beach. Top man. Pity about the cafe owners disinterest though.

Did you vote on Thursday, User 4549? Pleased with the result or not? Clearly you're not happy with the ConDem coalition in national government, but what are your views on the local issues that REALLY matter?

I was being facetious about Mr Winchester's official position... ;-) Good luck to the new IVFD councillors - I hope that they talk with the citizens they represent - rather than talk down to them as a lot of the self-proclaimed elite in this town have a habit of doing. Welcome to the 21st century, Dawlishians!!!!

What a brilliant result for local democracy! Well done to all 10 IVFD councillors - now you can deliver positive and constructive changes for the good of EVERYONE in Dawlish and make sure that the years of self-interest and neglect by the ConDems are turned around. To whom should I send my CV for the forthcoming vacancy as Town Clerk? ;-)

Av or not to AV
4 May 2011

Yes to AV. I'd the BNP are against it, then it must be a good thing...

I hope that there's a big turnout for the IVFD tomorrow. The desire for change is evident throughout the town - let's hope that those who are always moaning manage to get off their backsides and vote for an independent-thinking candidate. If you're able to vote, but don't vote - then you have NO right to moan. Good luck to all IVFD candidates tomorrow.

Seagulls
23 Apr 2011

Seagulls are a problem everywhere. I was sat on the perimeter wall around Exeter Cathedral on Good Friday when a seagull swooped and snatched food out of the hand of a lady sat next to me. Shit happens, it won't stop me from sitting there again! Seagulls have always been a pain - it's not a recent phenomenon! :-)
