If the bank cards go down and apps go down you are up a creek ...

Members of Teignbridge District Council have had a negative impact on many residents for years. They ignore residents, force decisions upon them with sham consultations and silence and smear opposition voices. As if they give actual f*** about local residents. They're just expected to issue a statement whenever there's a tragic death.

Urgently install a sign prohibiting mobility scooters and warning that doing a U-turn is not advisable or feasible once on the wall. Cycling is already prohibited, unfortunately access for all and inclusivity isn't always possible.

@1263 Thanks, but that's still a bitchy little side swipe to end on. I'd write less and not repeat myself if you were able to comprehend basic English and follow a conversation. But then that comment reflects the grudge you hold and you take everything so personally.
