So, the message is, there's no need for anyone to get their knickers in a twist because there is still an opportunity for consultation. If anyone feels strongly they should submit their opinions to TDC, and if they don't they shouldn't grumble at the outcome. Can't say fairer than that.

No, windows and doors!
Interesting comments. I've aways used locals, some good, some average. I had a big job recently. The local supplier/installer was based in Newton Abbot and for two weeks he promised to come out and price it up but didn't. In the end I went to the main supplier who pointed me further afield to a highly rated competitor, a Romanian. I'd have no concerns if he lived next door to me, he was a ...
