General Discussion
@Brooklyn Bridge Slightly off topic again but worthy of comment non the less. In this country we are or have created a situation where if you want to do anything that involves members of the public either as employees or customers you have to go to a lot of extra expense to cater for minority groups. Unfortunateley this situation is not sustainable and will have to change or small medium ...
Funny you should mention that one. Have it in writing from the borough engineer just this morning. They should be finished on Exeter Road at the end of the first week in March, but will then have to close Secmanton Lane.
@Lynne Dont forget the £200,000 from Sainsbury's section 106 agreement + the 1.5 million from DCC = 1.7 million. Having read back through my own notes, the public vote went against the councils preferance for full pedestrianisation of the Strand followed by a highways report saying there was no viable alternative traffic route. So what it seems we are getting is a back door attempt to ...
@Carer & wondering We seem to be straying away from the topic again. Its not about walking, parking etc. Its about the voted for schemes which where drawn up with a budget of 1.7 million pounds not being implemented, and being replaced with nothing more than a useless footpath which goes nowhere the existing one didnt. Plus the fact that what we have been supplied with has certainly not cost ...
@Duckileaks . sorry but i definatley remember the three options which i and others were asked to vote on and the one i selected had herringbone parking on the lawn side. i also remember the majority result which was also in favor of this scheme. We have been sold short once again and no one responsible will comment again as usual. I for one think the money saved from undercutting the Strand ...
Would someone representing any level of council please post on here a brief breakdown of how the new Strand footpath has cost 1.7 million pounds. If it has then someone has been ripped off, because it certainly isent looking value for money. If it hasent then what is the rest of the granted money being spent on? Thank you.
Cant see the major parties getting an outright majority at the next elections. I think people are wising upto them now. If UKIP can fund a good and convincing campaign it could be a Con/Ukip alliance. Iam pretty sure the Conservatives will be clever enought to blame the Lib Dems for everything the people dislike and that could finish off the Lib Dem party as we know it. What should and ...
Just gone up another 2p in Dawlish
Could someone please answer this. If our country with help from others won a war against the Germans. How do they today seem to have a better lifestyle, better ecconomy, and the freedom and ability to tell us what to do. Surely everything German now belongs to us and the Americans, and should be governed by us, otherwise what was the point. Sorry but not old enough to know all the facts.
Sorry Lynne but the way I see it is that young or old if you have to rely on the benifit system to provide a roof over your head, feed you, look after your kids or what ever else. Then someone else is paying for your lifestyle and for that you should be gratefull. In many countries around the world you wouldnt have this luxury, so ask yourself what would I do then?
