Margaret Swift I would suggest calling the Coastguard via 999 if you witness it again. My post was not meant to be hostile. 1263 - sorry, don't understand your banter on this occasion.
What has happened to the proposals to convert the old job centre in newton abbot into accomidation? Perhaps the council should get the finger out on this issue rather than whinging about access to land to build flats.?
And a quick online search reveals the following: Broseley was sold to Trafalgar House in 1987 and integrated into Ideal Homes. Ideal Homes was sold to Persimmon in 1996. Ergo.......?

So some might well say that the tree having to be cut down is as ...
why blame the landowner ? if its his land then its his right to do what he will with it. The more serious issue is probably the council want money from the developer but couch it in terms of needing more houses built for the community.
