Discussion
On a different thread (the one concerning Brexit and farming) @MajorP posted a comment concerning Brexit and the car industry/costs. I responded with a comment about car sales jobs at Marsh Barton. MajorP: “there is talk about imposing a tarriff on imported cars when we leave. As Exeter is the biggest (Marsh Barton) in Europe where you can buy any make of car of your choice. what ...
Seeing as it was reported by several groups and media outlets that '77% of Dawlish residents voted in favour of the play park on The Lawn' . That being well over 10,000 residents in Dawlish, although all residents of Teignbridge were also allowed to contribute to the questionaire, 77% of 10,000 is, I wonder, under a 1,000 ... I think not. lies, damned lies and statistics.
Typical local council initiative to just pass the buck for over half a year and say Oh! it's not my problem its their's. Good old tax/rate payers money being well spent, I think not. You could put 10 bins at the location and it still would not stop those commiting this lazy act of littering. How about getting a 'working group' of criminals from one of our districts jails to go and clean it ...

@Majop - why not start a new thread on the subject of how Brexit (whatever form it ends up taking) might impact on the UK car manufacturing/sales and allied industries and those employed in them. We may not have a lot of car manufacturing in the south west but I for one know people who live in Dawlish who work in car sales at Marsh Barton.
Has anyone bothered to ask those farmers on the ground, how brexit will affect their operations? Will farming be left to the big super markets. Why are there still many leaving farming now and not waiting to see what happens when we officially leave. questions, questions, questions and no one it appears has the answer to any of it. Leaving farming for a mo, there is talk about imposing a ...
Does the land where the rubbish lies belong to Network Rail? Maybe someone needs to create an online petition?
"As for Brexit, I can’t understand why 58 per cent of farmers were in favour , because it will bring even more uncertainty. At least the EU provided them with 55 per cent of their income in subsidies –the Government says that subsidies are protected until 2020 – but what happens then? Farmers will be competing with the NHS and education for funding. As for trade, farmers could be competing ...
This mess has apparently be in situ for some time. I have been in contact with Cllr Alison Foden about this matter and she has requested that I put the following on here: " I have reported this load of rubbish numerous times since I noticed it last summer 2017 to the then DTC town clerk, asking that TDC be chased on this. I have repeatedly asked for more litter bins with lids near the ...
