Apparently a spokesperson at Network Rail said they will never agree to put benches on the sea wall due to health and safety reasons. When I asked in a meeting a couple of years ago what the reasons were I was told that people could stand on the benches to get onto the line! I did point out the that the low wall all the way to DW provided much easier access to the line!

Plans are being proposed to merge the schools to create one special school which could accommodate 190 children with 35 weekly residential places. The aim is to provide better opportunities for pupils with special educational needs and increase the number of places for vulnerable ...

Is it any wonder people are disillusioned with our corrupt system.  The voter turnout figures speak for themselves.  Local elections barely scrape above 30%, and general elections are now less than 70%.  Coincidentally, the biggest drops in turnout have occurred since Blair won his first term in office; he fuelled this disillusionment.

A father has told of his anger and disgust at learning that his 14-year-old daughter had been allegedly sexually abused by men in a seaside flat when he thought she was sleeping at a friend's house.

Just had a reply back from Torbay Borough Council and they are deeper in pooh than DCC. The cost to the council and ultimately to the tax payer will be in excess of £200,000. And people vote in those that are supposed to be looking after our affairs. Yeah- alright then. So are councillors fit for purpose and more importantly the officers that they employ to carry out the functions they are given?

Low pay/not having enough money to pay bills etc is indeed a subject to be taken seriously.* But bear with me if now I sound frivolous on the subject. So........... all these low income families in Dawlish are going to spend their spare income (what spare income?!!!?? ) in the shops in the centre of town when they come into town in order to take their under 8 year olds to the proposed ...
