General Discussion
In this week's Dawlish Post / Mid-Devon Advertiser, the newspaper asks the question in its County Council Election 2017 pull-out 'Will two visits to the polls in just over a month help or hinder the turnout'? The paper also describes the current position of the Devon County Council Conservatives as being 'cocks of the yard'. Whether they will still be ruling the roost after May 4th, may ...

As I saw it Lynne, honours were even on the point Cllr Clatworty seems to have got most aerated about recently (as it turns out, the question as to who was involved in the fix of the flooding in Cockwood) - but on public transport, the early delivery of the link road and the cuts to teaching school funding, Cllr Wrigley made all the running - including a pledge that a Lib Dem Devon County Council ...
Which falsehoods? Take your pick.
Cllr Wrigley is the only one campaigning for the return of the number 2 bus. Cllr Clatworthy, rather belatedly, says he supports the return of the number 2 bus - but that's just being a passenger to events. Martin Wrigley has worked hard to deliver on many issues important to the town as a Dawlish Town Councillor. The results speak for themselves - and while he may have ruffled the ...
