DAWLISH Marina Bowls Club held a fun Sunday afternoon on July 14 for the “Legends” born in 1954. Thanks to the hard work put in by Stephanie and Lin and their respective other halves who devised some great bowls games.
@Steve Why would owners of detached houses and bungalows with large rooftops get a subsidy? That's not what I'm suggesting at all, in fact it'sd better if not approcahed from the perspective of individual private homeowners, but rather from a community perspective and their collective needs. And I agree with you about subsidies going to those who can afford it, landlords, etc, many of whom are ...
Wonder what a parent would think of the judges decision if a family member or anyone else died of an overdose due to this character not being locked up for the mandatory time.
JUST last weekend, Olivia Steer of Dawlish enjoyed the South West of England Championships. The talented runner won her heat in Birmingham by five seconds and went on to claim second in the final, achieving another Personal Best in the process.
A TEENAGER, part of a Dawlish drugs gang, was caught drug dealing for the third time and told police ‘I will always go back to what I know’. Finley Walsh was groomed by gangs from the age of 12 and has been arrested repeatedly while acting as a runner for them.
PLANS have been approved to give Dawlish railway station a facelift. Listed Building consent has been granted by Teignbridge Council for the maintenance project which will mainly involve repainting the Grade II listed station.
So those that own detached houses and bungalows with large rooftops would get the subsidy. If it means the poor having to pay for it, then I'm sure it's a sacrifice those wealthy homeowners are willing to make to save the planet. This is what has been happening for decades anyway. The wealthiest get the subsidies. Landlords get taxpayers money to insulate their rental properties and replace ...
@Steve I see what you mean on subsidizing. But ss everyone meant to have what? Solar panels? Not everyone has a suitable rooftop aspect, so looking at it from the individual homeowner perspective means roll-out would be limited, plus not everyone would be able to invest heavily up front even if the tech resulted in lowered bills in the long-term. Anyway I'm approaching this from a climate change ...
Who is doing the subsidising if everyone is meant to have it? You can't subsidise yourself. If the technology represented value for money then everyone would adopt it. It doesn't so they continue getting their energy cheaper from the energy companies. And millions of workers own those shares in their pension funds.
Solar PV isn't cheap, solar thermal should be installed first following engery efficiencies to the home iike drausght exclusion and insulation, more affordable steps to conserve energy usage. Heavily subsidized solar panels aren't going to happen in this country, there's too much money to be made by the big 6 who pull the strings of the government and likely have ministers as shareholders or ...
