@burnside over 90% over the plastic in the world's oceans originates from just 10 rivers in Africa. How do they know that, where did those that came up with that percentage and know what rivers it came from? It could be true but that does not detract from the fact we have many eminent people (minus David Attenborough) who will tell you that this country produces vast volumnes of plastic ...

St. David of Attenborough has lead a very cushy life courtesy of the taxpayer funded BBC indulging in his hobby, he was in fact a member of the BBC hierachy for a number of years.  They do like to look after their own at the BBC By the way, over 90% over the plastic in the world's oceans originates from just 10 rivers, all of which are in Africa and Asia.  It isn't Europe that needs to put its ...

Someone has picked up a typo error NATURALIST and not NATURIST, how sad when just the mention of David Attenborough should have told readers it was a typo error. Perhaps I should have mentioned Darwin and many others.

So wondering what is your proposed route for Dawlish Parkway and the cost, taking into consideration high speed trains need gradient's of less than 4% and freight trains below 1.5%.

Something needs to be done with rising sea levels and a higher sea wall is talked about for Dawlish. Lets hope the sea rises up before this wheel is built. Politicians are listening but doing nothing. When you have top scientist from around the world telling ...

I thought the whole point of building that car park with a field attached was to draw people away from the Warren, but now the council wants to attract even more people to visit.  Does the left hand know what the right hand is doing?

Is there another way to protect Dawlish and the railway line. Is building the sea wall higher, the only way to afford protection? Councillors appear not to have a clue or are just clueless. How about something to help them, like errecting short sections of scaffold along the sea wall, (Marine Parade. and Sealawn Terrace) temporary of course but at the same height as the intended height of the ...
