Dawlish News

We seem to be having a week of stories coming from Teignbridge pleading poverty and planning any and every cut they can to public services in order to save money. What we havent heard is any cuts being made to their own direct operation. What about reducing the number of councillors on the pay role, or getting rid of a few admin staff or compulsary retirement for the over sixties. In addition they ...

@Lynne .  what would you personally consider to be sustainable transport. any motor vehicle that relies on todays fuel technology isent. there is therefore no point in causing more congestion by putting on more buses running around empty for most of the day. dawlish coaches tried it years ago and it just dosent pay. Perhaps better management and timing of what we have already would be a more ...
