Replies that you can expect: 1. "It's not a consultation, they've already made their mind up". 2. "Why build all these houses, nobody needs them?". 3. "People keep buying all these new houses that they're always building, but what about the extra traffic they're causing?". 4. "I blame cyclists".
The 'Royal Train' has been spotted passing through Devon, with one keen photographer snapping a photo of the locomotive as it passed through Dawlish this evening. Read more... https://www.devonlive.com/news/devon-news/royal-train-carrying-queen-seen-5519599
Before anyone has a moan about my starting another thread concerning the possible sites for housing development in Dawlish, the reason I am doing this is because the other thread is now quite long and the info as to how you can register your thoughts with TDC might get ‘lost’.

It also might be that, for example, buildings may be in place on a piece of land but that they ...
