Don't think many Lib Dems will survive next year.

@BOO HOO . How dare you come onto this forum with sensible  suggestions...!!!!

Your not allowed to put lib dem councillors in the skip....

@1263 That would be over stepping their authority and require some form of common sense that they seem to lack these days, in my opinion.

Do they not realise that so called clean water is not what enters the surface drains when it rains, but all the oil and petrochemicals from the roads that have been absorbed from motor vehicles and site equipment running back and forth to The Lawn.

I wonder what next major work will be scheduled for Dawlish in the coming year to increase the amount of disturbance to the economy/tourism. I expect it will involve construction, concrete and closing off roads and possibly digging up or building on The Lawn!

Chances are the mattress and chairs did not even get wet!

And when the parasites in power eventually get their cost saving way to centralise all emergency services the situation will get far more dangerous for us peseants.

Police, I did not realise they still existed down here!!!!!!

Might be worth actually dredging The Brook so it had more than a couple of inches of water in it for the ducks/swans first.

Somewhere for all the old Dawlish crackheads/drunks to sit, how thoughtful.
