@Huw Do you now live anywhere in the vicinity of the proposed new development? i.e. Old Town Street, Weech Road, Badlake Hill, Lower Meadow Rise, Meadow Rise, Longlands, Upper Longlands. All these roads will be affected by increased traffic, not just in the short term either. Several of these roads are narrow and have no footpaths in places. Things have changed a lot since the 60's when the ...

I'm not worried; I know the person who wields the knife on the fish counter!

What he's doing is sneering at the concerns of residents in the area with regard to traffic. The main access to the whole of the Meadow Park/Upper Longlands area is via Badlake Hill. This hill and part of Weech Road are single track road with no pavements. This is the main access road used by the majority of residents in the areas of Upper Longlands, Meadow Park and, of course, the future ...

This doesn't make sense. If they're providing 2 spaces for each dwelling, it follows that they're anticipating 2 cars per household which would mean 56 vehicles potentially likely to access the site at any given time and not the 20 quoted. The main road which accesses Meadow Park is Badlake Hill, part of which has no footpath at the lower end,  also the narrow part of Weech Road past the Swan has ...

I used to live up there by the Humpy and there were cirl buntings on the land then as they visited my garden and the RSPB used to bring round parties to view them. As I moved 10 years ago, I can't say whether they are still around up there. Maybe the RSPB would know.

This is a hoary old chestnut that raises its head every now & then. Surely it is not beyond the wit or the competence of the powers that be to distinguish between the alkies that frequent the Lawn area around the Information Centre for most of the year, generally being intimidating & making a nuisance of themselves, & families sitting out with a picnic & a couple of beers during the few weeks of ...

If there were any, would we know about them?

Can't believe it. How can this be justified by TDC?

A dog that can do this should be confiscated as it is obviously out of control and is a danger to people as well as wildfowl. The owner of the dog as well as not having any brain cells is not in possession of £5,000 and so a fine is a pointless exercise. Best to raise a reward in the hope that his/her mates grass him/her up as the dog would have blood on it and someone will have a good idea whose ...
