Well said Lynne, reading other posts its quite clear how the trend is going never mind counting the shops and busnisses remaing, what about the ones already gone,and the ones up for sale or struggling to survive, Heres a few The ferret and radiator, Threshers, Dawlish coaches, Dawlish Skips, Firbank Garage, Scott Richards,Kevin Coopers to name but a few. Going soon, Exeter arms, The hardware ...
Thanks Ziggy - Not a new comer to town, know all the councilors and what they do or more to the point what they dont hence the point of this thread. Will be at the meeting
Exactly what I had in mind, watch out at the next elections in May. We may however find that my application gets blocked on political grounds by the usual closed shop members, or if I get passed that stage the can't be bothered, supermarket loving population of our special town wont bother to turn out and vote. If its not in my back yard why bother !
Has anyone in town ever managed to get any sort of help from our elected councilors either local, district or county without them having a vested interest in the issue themselves.

This development will in no way benifit the ordinary people of ...
Will all the local supporters of Sainsbury's be leaving town when their dreams of cheap food, cheap petrol and hundreds of highly paid jobs fail to happen? Sainsbury's is only the start, wait for the hundreds of new houses to be built from the warren to Exeter Road and the loss of all the green fields.When your stuck in the traffic queue from the new roundabout to town think how much easier it was ...
