He was a sweetheart and will be missed. RIP Les
I will Burnside, but I shall be balancing out anything I don't agree with against anything I do agree with. Also I shall consider how active the candidates have been during their term of office, not just turning up when there is a camera present or an election pending. And most importantly to me their conduct during the last four years, especially the way they have used to social media to ...
You can use the link to the application to make a comment supporting or objecting to this. I've just made my comments - bet you can't guess which way I voted!!!!
@Lynne That address you're thinking of is the 'artist's' residence. He did try to get a mermaid statue in Teignmouth a few years ago but they turned him down He did a consultation at Sainsbury's a while back, I put in a comment that was not complimentary, I didn't realise that the gentleman was hovering nearby and as I walked away he must have heard me saying to my companion how hideous I ...
Well said that man! And now will those councillors who voted to give them money actually realise what has been going on and see that all they have done is prop up a group of people who are so blind to public opinion they should hang they heads in shame.
Sorry Michael, just need to reply to Margaret... I didn't intend to leave you waiting by your computer into the wee small hours awaiting my reply, I do apologise for the inconvenience.

In answer to your question; ...
@MargaretSwift. To give them a last chance in your final year of this council is a total cop out. If you stand again for council and get re-elected will you then say to them they had their last chance? Or will you walk away from council being able to say that you supported the carnival all through your term of office? either way seems bull crap!
@michaelclayson i admire your stance and agree that to abstain was the best option. it is a shame that some of your fellow councillors don't have the same courage to say that they aren't entirely happy about the situation. @the observer. Many people have tried to have their say and make a difference but it is ignored. Sadly their point of view is that they are the directors and there is ...
Can I just point out that if anyone is unhappy with the decision made by the council an ideal opportunity to show this is imminent in May - lovely local elections.
Frustrating isn't it, when you know so many people have offered help and it's been turned down again and again. To say they have had to pay for help just doesn't seem right, I know they had volunteer marshals for Pram Race and the procession. There are lots of people who would have help run an event or marshal or collect. But when the events are run so poorly and the directors are so ...
