@webmaster - can you just delete the "cock" thread so we can start again afresh. @Don Pearson - agree completely that strange language can be hard-going at times but that's not a reason to ban it. as long as the content doesn't infringe people's rights and liberties then freedom of speech (in whatever form) should hold. have you read any robert heinlein?
No not an unfamiliar expletive or anything to worry about unless you happen to be a goose barnacle. I don't know if it's still there but yestyerday at the end of Dawlish beach (the Red Rock Cafe end) was a huge piece of timber totally covered in goose barnacles. They are a culinary delicacy - in Spain they sell for £90 a kilo! Cook quickly in boiling salt water (or a nice wine, garlic and cream ...
Is there a clear set of proposals for the Strand or are they just looking for public ideas at this stage?
Also lots fo white circles on trees on edge of Ideford Common - obviously some sort of marker for what they're going to do with the trees. I suspect some sort of felling programme.

Excellent idea! I believe that Lusombe Estate also owns the piece of land next to Southdowns Road (according to Councillor Pratt, the chair of the Steering Group) and has already committed to put it up for development (even though it's in coastal preservation area). If that actually goes through then perhaps there should be a tit-for-tat condition imposed that opens up the other parkland for ...
Don't know if a relief road is needed or not but if anyone in TDC is looking at such a road then there is a "natural" route which they could be considering along existing country roads which could bypass both Dawlish, Teignmouth and Bishops if necessary. Coming from Cockwood along Exeter Road, turn right just after the Violet farm, then first left along Branscombe Lane, Hensford Road, Langdon ...
@Lynne - wouldn't want to see long lane turned into a road. i think it's one of the old drovers' paths around here and it would be a shame to lose one of the few remaining walking paths into the country @ everyone else - would be interested to know who put stone there and why
