The problem faced in this country on the subject of lack of housing is an issue caused by one group of people who have no housing issues themselves, far from it. Can anyone guess what group that may be? Indeed, that is correct, the Government. Through 'Right to buy' on council houses at massive discounts to the purchaser through to a non effective immigration policy and enforced via the ...
@Onport1968 - im not adverse to extra houses being built. what i do object to is all the usual planning guidelines that the rest of us have to endure being thrown out the windows for these gluttonous developers. The houses are so close together, little or no gardens, minimal parking. A two bed flat I saw advertised, on this estate, has 3 gagrages below it and I presume only one belongs to ...
Walking on the hills above Dawlish and took a couple of photo's of the ever increasing carbuncle they call a housing development these days. It's just a mass of boxes slammed as close together as possible. When you consider the planning applications for some small changes to peoples homes get turned down, but this thing just does what it wants! As they say money talks.
@Lynne - indeed you are correct, i didn't notice who had posted, just assumed.
@Lynne - my idea was more along the ideas of getting local people and tradesman to offer material, skills and labour to rebuild rather than just requesting money donations. as to asking the owners that's a very good idea. i saw they had responed to this channel in an entry on this subject. maybe if they are still monitoring this channel they may like to respond as to how they would like things to ...
Considering the cafe was a positive and welcome rest stop for a lot of locals and visitors to Dawlish and the Cove. Would it not be possible for one of the official groups in Dawlish to organise a donation scheme to get donations of materials, labour etc to get the cafe up and running? Considering the might of the Dawlish people I wouldn't have thought it wouldn't take long to get it up and ...
Only walked past the cafe yesterday afternoon, so sad to hear a persons livelihood has been destroyed. I believe they had applied for a liqour licence. It's possibe that the fire was set to hide stock being possibly stolen? just a thought.
Tip of the iceberg. Once you start paying for ADDITIONAL SERVICES, ones that should be covered by the excesssive rates we already pay and get little for. The greed festers and before long you WILL be paying for all your waste services on top of your rates. Over to you Mrs C!
'With over 30 new businesses' I would be curious to know what they are, Charity shops maybe! Cynical, indeed. Now let's wait for Mrs C to have a go, sigh!
It always makes me laugh when I see the blue badge holders in their 4x4's and Impreza's parking on the double yellows in Teignmouth. The reason for the double yellows is that it causes problems for other vehicle users and pedestrians. How does having a blue badge allow the holder to make the roads more dangerous and obstructed for the rest of us? Before anyone starts winging on, yes that means ...
