General Discussion
I hear you loud and clear Margaret. However, with the advent of new technology (not available to all for various reasons I totally agree) I wonder just how much the use of libraries in terms of the borrowing of books has decreased over the years? Is it time for a new name, new brand, tweaked function? I also wonder though how those living in the more rural areas and whose incomes are restricted, ...
Yes Michael I did. But we didn't have the internet and kindle then, did we?
I love the smell of libraries just as I love the smell of bookshops. Must be the paper. And although I'm a book person I haven't used Dawlish library, and nor has any of my family, since we moved here nearly 8 years ago.
Do they open all the black plastic bags then that are in the landfill bin in order to check what's in 'em?
£35 per year? Yes, that might work out at less than a pound per week but I think TDC will be told to get stuffed by the vast majority. Somehow I think lots of black plastic bags full of grass cuttings and the like will be finding their way into landfill bins.
Right! Before Mcjrpc or Mrs C or whoever comes back on here to respond to Carer's post above, can I just ask that one of you start a new thread. Call it " The Bickering Thread" or something similar and go and have your bickers on there.

This study has been initiated by the Route ...
So.......to return to the subject of this thread. Anyone any thoughts on what might be an appropriate piece of art?
Suspect NR will also have had a big say in what colour the viaduct should be as I believe they own it. Anyhow, for anyone who wishes to pursue this with the TDC Conservation officer these contact details might be useful. Design & Heritage Section Teignbridge District Council Forde House, Brunel Road Newton Abbot, Devon TQ12 4XX 01626 215705 ...
Consult the TDC conservation officer? oh my gawd! Didn't someone say (Margaret S?) on here somewhere that the reason the viaduct is the bland colour it is, is because the conservation officer said that it had to be so? Think I'm right on that. That's why I was promoting the idea of public opinion maybe swaying the Conservation officer's mind with regard to the viaduct being painted green with gold ...
