There's nothing to stop the Lib Dems posting on Dawlish.com. I don't think Gary Taylor's contribution particularly did anything to rebuild the Lib Dem's reputation post-coalition. Nor did his postings convince me that the Lib Dems aren't predominantly concerned with 'winning here' and gaining power. @webmaster plenty of politicians have been denigrated on this forum. from trump and le ...
Gary's loss, if permanent, is a shame. Whatever your political affections, you can choose to listen to or ignore his postings. Where now are we to hear knowledgeable insights over planning matters, etc? The only prospect of avoiding an overwhelming Selfsh Party landslide is to look at any left-of-centre offerings. It is only a pity the Liberal Dems blew it by siding with Dave for a little ...
@webmaster - well said! (and on another matter - many thanks!)
I haven't owned a dog for fifty years so i never took a great deal of notice of the amount of dog poop that is all over this town, on the lawn, on the pavements, and pretty much everywhere. Whenever i go out with my dog i always make sure i have doggie bags. Even if my dog does poop on the Lawn and i have forgotten a bag, back i will come home get one and go out and pick it up. For the past two ...
@TheObserver , yes you are right - only a few visitors contribute. I think a lot more would contribute but fear being shot down for having an opinion. Some post for a period and then give up due to being bullied off. I see councillors contributing to the forum as a positive thing. I hope Gary will come back and others will post. I think you are wrong to denigrate Gary for posting on here.
@webmaster - and the two people thus so far have agreed. I was merely talking about the small group of those who particpate in conversation, so your answer is, I get these stats from my eyes and looking. It is great to see so many people come to dawlish.com, most for information and to find out about the town, not to read the rubbish and the politics that Mr Taylor happily displays ...
Plenty of houses along that road already and one that is right on the edge above Coryton Cove, a load of hype about nothing. If I'm reading it right the application was submitted Dec 2014 with a target date of 16/05/2017. Only one objection to this planning request by one of their neighbours. If you take into account some of the planning applications, that were not inkeeping with their ...
@TheObserver I'd be interested to know where you get your stats from as it is not possible for me to know how many Dawlish people view this site. However the stats for last month according to Google Analytics were:- April 2017 4181 users/visitors of which 2676 were returning users/visitors Total page views 35,904. I don't think the community on here is that small. ...
The Lib Dems don't exactly have a lot to tell the town. There's not much difference between Taylor and Wrigley, the latter has just enough sense not to embarrass himself daily on Dawlish.com. Taylor is either not bothered about being re-elected or completely naive, whereas Wrigley doesn't risk being rejected or jeopardizing his public persona.
Teignbridge Council planners had been asked to approve plans to build three, two storey detached houses in the grounds of La Falaise, 9 Old Teignmouth Road, The site, halfway between Dawlish and Teignmouth, is close to the South West Cliff Path, and also overhangs the Dawlish railway line. Speaking at the meeting, Cllr Prowse said: “In spite of all the numbers here, in the ...
