Discussion
If you flood a discussion forum with posts that are just pieces of information that evidentlly aren't leading to discussion, then the discussion section becomes devalued.
The discussion section has always shown posts from all the groups you are following by default. When someone signs up, it automatically makes you a follower of General Discussion, News and Notices. You can join other groups, although not many people post on them now. An old example is Cooking with Tallyrand . This is just the way the site works. The only thing that has recently changed, ...
It's not FREE in any case. The agencies aren't working at this event out of the kindness of their hearts, they're all funded by the taxpayer. And collectively these agencies and Councils aren't improving the situation. The funding just keeps them all in work and contributes to their pensions. So kind that all these agencies can club together for a slow cooker, air-fryer and electric blanket. ...

@Webmaster . No problem. You’re welcome. But I don’t think you understand the points I’m making. I don’t know if you’ve noticed but news items posted by Dawlish News (which is mostly the Mid Devon Advertiser/Dawlish Gazette as there are always links to their online papers) often don’t receive any comments at all. These posts don’t have the effect of stimulating debate. And I doubt any ...
Thanks for the feedback @Teign. News and notices have always appeared on the discussion forum so users can discuss them. You can click on ' General ' to filter them out. Prior to now, there haven't been any notices for about 10 years! Most users stopped posting events after Covid, and so a change was recently made to encourage users to start positng them again. Part of this was to ...
Why is the Discussion section being treated as if it were a general noticeboard? There are separate sections for News, Events, Notices, etc. And very useful and informative they are too. But why are News, Events, Notices posts also in the Discussion section? If I want to see what's in the local News, Events, Notices I can click on the relevant section. By all means post ...
@Cassandra Could you expand on that? This is the discussion section after all. I don't know if you read the original post or looked at the link, but Expat's comment is accurate. Dawlish was an elegant seaside resort in Georgian and Victorian times - mainly due to three men who by the way weren't from the town. Given that it was originally a small fishing village, a lot of people would've moved ...

I do get out more and see many towns with busy town centres, better and more varied shops and better parking. Dartmouth for example with 2 hours free parking by the river with a two minute walk to the shops. Its not about posting negative comments its about constructive criticism. By the way I was born and raised here nearly 70 years ago so havent "came here from other places"
