Those of you who watch the BBC TV news may have caught a feature in the local "Spotlight" edition shown yesterday (29.2.12) about a couple who live Dartmoor way and who are social housing tenants. They presently live in a 6 bedroomed house but wish to move to much smaller accommodation now that the kids have flown the nest.

Don't other towns have limited time free parking ...
Perhaps we should all e-mail him again then reminding him of his response to Rach's e-mail and further pointing out that given that his Conservative colleagues on TDC voted down such a scheme for the Strand car park perhaps he and his Conservative councillor colleagues at Devon County Council might look favourably on such a scheme for onroad parking along the Strand.
