If any dog owners who may read this hear from others about a black and white greyhound (think Friesian cow colouring) who broke her leg whilst running full tilt up on Sandy Lane playing fields on Sunday that was my dog - Molly (moo cow dog). I wasn't there at the time - my partner was walking her. But he says that many other dog walkers stopped to see if they could help and give him moral ...

Dawlish Library

My great niece (aged 2.5 years) paid me a visit yesterday. I'm thinking of hiring her to show me how to use smartphones etc. Her ability to find Peppa Pig and similar stories and games suitable for a child of her age on her parents' phones had to be seen to be believed.

Garden waste costs

"I suppose the council aren't worried about fly tipping anymore as most of the fields are being built on ..." I wonder how many of the new residents will pay this £35? (and then of course there's all that extra revenue going to TDC in the form of council tax..........) not forgetting the New Homes Bonus. £500,000 I think it was for 2012/2013.

So.....bins get put out at night (they do in my road). What's to stop someone putting their green waste in someone else's bin? A bit far fetched perhaps but my point is that although the green waste may be found in someone's landfill bin how can the enforcement officer prove that the owner of the bin put the green waste in that bin? Or......someone forks out £35 for a green waste bin and other ...

I hear you loud and clear Margaret. However, with the advent of new technology (not available to all for various reasons I totally agree) I wonder just how much the use of libraries in terms of the borrowing of books has decreased over the years? Is it time for a new name, new brand, tweaked function? I also wonder though how those living in the more rural areas and whose incomes are restricted, ...

I love the smell of libraries just as I love the smell of bookshops. Must be the paper. And although I'm a book person I haven't used Dawlish library, and nor has any of my family, since we moved here nearly 8 years ago.

Do they open all the black plastic bags then that are in the landfill bin in order to check what's in 'em?

£35 per year? Yes, that might work out at less than a pound per week but I think TDC will be told to get stuffed by the vast majority. Somehow I think lots of black plastic bags full of grass cuttings and the like will be finding their way into landfill bins.
