http://www.railfuture.org.uk/article1497-Dawlish-choice Link above to comments on the awaited study, then follow link at bottom of that page to the pdf of the full 46 page study. Figure 10 on Page 26 of the fast DAL options and Table 9 on Page 36 make interesting viewing. Luckily there is total commitment to the Dawlish seawall/line whatever else is done. One particularly ...

Pre-paying for hospital parking anywhere is the most disingenuous form of parking revenue I can possibly think of.  Planners know full well that many people will be obliged to overpay from fear of being stuck waiting in the hospital for unpredictable lengths of time.  Worse still, at a time of stress or emergency it is very likely you won't have a pocket full of coins on arrival, just to add to ...

Not everyone in London gets 'stupid wages', particularly professional engineers (and I don't mean plumbers etc who do very nicely thank you). Professional engineers don't get a penny more than anywhere else in the country, so are actually far worse off in London, assuming they even have a job!! As for the NHS, it may not be a perfect solution, but is still far more equitable than the ...

@ALLEMS - point taken, there are around five emergency overflows?  but at least timaru gardens secondary treatment the norm. to be expected and by eu standards dawlish bathing water quality is good to excellent.

Is it simply the case that the police don't have the budget and numbers to police properly anymore? Hence, is the only realistic option left open to them to make a case to simply stop the event at source one way or another?

Frankly, it seems to me that Dawlish police need to get a grip. On another thread (that one that read like a toilet wall) about holligan self appointed vigilanties and misogynists, the impression was given in recent comments that it was all a thing of the distant past. Now I am reading that fun family events are getting cancelled due to a failure to ensure law and order. So which is it ...

ok, I'll say it as I find it.  Personally I am mighty fed up with dogs dominating where I can or cannot go. Most parks are right-offs to use these days and it's not just about the few who don't pick-up mess, it's the preponderance of large or snappy or so called 'status dogs' that are allowed to run up to children (and me!) frightening them witless. Parks are supposed to be relaxing ...

Furthermore, it would be hypocritical for us to say 'well done Angelina Jolie' for the world conference about stopping violence against women while giving succour to it under the guise of 'freedom of speech' in our own back garden. I repeat - WEBMASTER THIS THREAD ABSOLUTELY MUST BE TAKEN DOWN NOW.

No, I stick 100% with my original premise. Freedom of speech yes, but this 'Clockwork Orange' thread that reads worse than a toilet wall and is 'serious incitement to cause neighbourhood and sexual violence'. Frankly I can only hope the contents of it were promply forwarded to the police to take note of. WEBMASTER THIS THREAD ABSOLUTELY MUST BE TAKEN DOWN NOW.

Why on Earth hasn't Webmaster taken this diabolical thread down years ago?!!
