General Discussion
Probably wont make any difference but the powers at be need to remember that last weekend was the official start of the tourist season for our town and surrounding area. It is also a mere three weeks to the Easter holiday. What a delightful welcome our visiters are about to encounter. The main road in partially blocked and likely to cause damage to one or two caravans, and the town centre ...
Dawlish is certainly a wonderful place to live and I doubt anyone would deny that, however we have recently been beset by a series of rubbish decisions by our governing Councils who basically dont listen to what the people ask of them. Take the Manor house/Sally Army building Fiasco, The over development of the Gateshouse Area granted by planners. The lack of investment demanded For the ...
@Lynne The saying itself as far as I can remember was the sign of the Northern Soul music followers at places like Wigan Casino and the Torch Stoke-On-Trent. Must have been late sixties, seventies era. The Dance music theme was an upbeat type of Motown. Have plenty of 45 vynal examples should you wish to borrow them. Beside that any faith that promotes the Great in Great Britain and not the ...
Dont understand why qualification for benefits is so simple and acceptable, all benefit payments should be means tested and NHS certified when required. There should be a standard qualification requirement of 5 years paid national insurance contributions unless accident, illness or disability has created the need to claim, and all non British passport holders should be forced to have compulsary ...
You know all those single parent mothers that hang about Weatherspoons in Newton Abbot, how about training them up put them in uniform and send them to Afganistan
No surprise there then. Dont look like Councillor Clayson has had one either. Authority silent treatment is their usual way of hoping we go away. Wait till the contractors have finished I feel me a parking protest comming on with a couple of carefully placed commercial vehicles, anyone else up for for it? The remaining shops need to make themslves aware of whats going on here. Pedestrianisation ...
@Lynne . I remember the voting went in favour of non-pedestrianisation as you described, which meant one of the three plans was totally discounted straight away. Out of the remaining two plans the one with most in favour was the one with herringbow parking on the lawn side and a widened footpath with disabled features on the shop side. My opinon for what its worth is that the issues with ...
As usual the post has been hi-jacked by baffling bullshitters, why we have to go through all this just to get the main points answered is beyond belief. WHY ARE WE NOT GETTING WHAT WE VOTED FOR? HOW AS A NEW FOOTPATH TO NO WHERE COST 1.7 MILLION POUNDS
No he wont, well not in Dawlish anyway couldnt put up with all the back handed crap that goes on. I dont know everything, but Im not stupid and I go around with my eyes open without blinkers. Ordinary people put up with to much when it comes to being ripped off and conned by others in positions of trust and authority
The contrators may be highly recommended and produce quality work but to get back to the main point of the thread they or some other cause are approx 2-months behind on the original posted schedule, work on the Dawlish bound side should have been finished at Christmas
