I lived in London for many decades and have seen how things have changed for the worse as time went on, I would say a lot more, but I don't want the police knocking on my door. I moved to Devon to get away from a society/culture that had turned alien to the way I had been brought up. I believe that the people of the West Country are not going to be happy how their way of life will change in the ...

More of our country side converted to housing estates to home an ever increasing number of people who are unable to buy their own home. This doesn't resolve the underlying problem of lack of employment in the area, if anything you have even more people applying for the same few jobs.

One problem with a lot of mp's is that they don't understand that it is not their views they should be putting across, but the views of the electorate who voted them in.

There have been very few objections to the request. This is the access address for this specific application and all its associated paperwork - ...

How much did this cost the local people ?. Weren't they going to sell the Manor House because they had already bought another building to move into ? Does money grow on trees in Dawlish ?

Walking the dog on The Lawn, Dawlish last night I came across big gouges in The Lawn made by the excavator being used to rebuild the bridge by the Police shop. Instead of putting the sand by the catapillar unit the excavator has gone back and forth numerous times across the lawn. Deos the council monitor the activities of these contractors and the amount of damage and poor quality work they have ...

I would have thought that the U.K. Government could treat this as an act of Treason against the State. Couldn't they ?
