Birds are doing very well in my garden ,  but we have not seen the woodpeckers this year. Also no sign of the cirl buntings down the gatehouse end of the lane. Thats not surprising considering the wholesale destruction that is going on down there.

To me affordable is houses that young people on lower earnings that cannot afford a mortgage on a £250000 house. People who need affordable housing are not all doleys they are hard working people that cannot get on the property ladder with house prices as they are. just off to the pirates cabin to congratulate a hard working man on his achievment.

When we last visited 2 weeks ago the coffee was good and the atmosphere was excellent. Will try to get a visit today, just to congratulate him.

How many affordable rabbit hutches does 300million build And how much countryside goes under concrete, somebody ask the Irish about housing development.

I think before that day I shall move, I already shed tears when I see what is happening on the present site. The wholesale destruction of wildlife habitat just to build houses that are going to be crammed onto the site. All of this ruination of good country side just to satisfy politicians' ideas that  doing this is going to regenerate the economy. Did it work in ireland?

Bless you Lynne, would you like my mole that is wrecking my lawn down Secmaton Lane. Or come to that the badger who seems to be helping him. Still we are all gods creatures.

I Believe that Devon County Council is responsible for roadside verges and it was they that said they would only cut twice a year, have they just announce a £15m surplus thats been added to reserves? Do what I have done and write to them asking that they spend a few hundred thousand tidying the paths and verges up.

The point is that they have not been built and the reason is that they cannot be sold in the present economic enviroment. This also raises the question again just how many extra houses do we need in Dawlish, and how many of them are going to be affordable. By counting all the proposals both planned and underway we are standing at 1725 houses being built or planned. As to the talk of new employment ...

How many of Sandpipers at Dawlish Warren are still empty.
