@leatash Thanks for that. It's the first time I have been there for ages as I have had no need to go, but at at least now I know. It is ridiculous that they have taken them away.

An accident waiting to happen......... .and a compensation claim! Some old biddy steps off the coach and a cyclist takes her out! Who pays the compensation for injury? DCC, TDC or DTC? They are all barking mad!!

Well said Carer.

Thank for this link, Lynne. There will be many in the community who would seem to be able to qualify - and with the credits going towards topping up any shortfall in the new state pension, a bit of effort with some form filling could prove very worthwhile.

Get your tickets now before they (LM) disappear into oblivion and be forgotton, never to be heard of again.

So there not allowed to eat? Do you think the Local bobby would care, as long as he or she got a good meal for standing for hours on end saying "sorry or madam you can't come down here" we are lucky to have some of the most incorruptible officers in the world, thanks to them the majority will use proper justice. I am happy with this expenditure, better this than a lot of other things that as a tax ...

Now come on our local councillors told us this would be so and i did see 5 cyclists using the new section this afternoon and later saw the same 5 eating ice cream outside Gays.

A paranoid schizophrenic stabbed his father in the chest after calling his parents "devil worshippers", a court heard. Neither parent want their son prosecuted and were angry that their son had not been properly treated for his mental health illness, the court was told. McGill, already in custody at the Langdon Hospital in Dawlish, admitted causing grievous bodily harm with intent to ...

Following the Dawlish.com news story about Little Mix at Powderham, I thought they were dead rabbits! Seriously though, thanks DEEDOODLE - great pix!

Well I'm just looking forward to the new President. Donald Trump is a doer not just all talk, a breath of fresh air compared to the norm.

Excellant, at last we are making forward progress.

It wouldn't go amiss to spend a bit of that on making sure the sewage got where it needs to go without leaking out everytime there's a bit of rain!

Built in the Netherlands!

Yes I've read about liable land having to be registered by the Church (by 2013 I think it was) but..........some mess up in the law means that even if the Cof E didn't meet that 2013 deadline then land not registered by that time can still be liable. This explains why I have heard that those buying houses are now strongly advised by their solicitor to take out chancel repair liability insurance. ...

Apparently there is a new collection point just outside the front doors of Forde House. Comments noted from members of TDC staff include the bin men do a really good job considering its such a thankless task. Maybe they dont get paid as much as Ms Bullneck hence their lack of job satisfaction.

@ZIGGY i know, this lasted less than 24 hours.  it's a really nasty one if a motorbike hits it.  it's still reported on the pothole site, dcc really needs to pull it's collective finger out.  i do hope the contractor doesn't charge twice for this shoddy work.

I"m curious does anybody in the town have to put up with ASB? And for any parents reading this do you know where your teenage kids are during the night time hours? The new protection order has had some effect with the druggies and dopeheads, but now it appears there is another issue with teenagers hanging out around the happy hut area.

Nice pics.

I live in Holcombe and have had 28 tonne tipper trucks driving up the lane next to my house for months now (as witnessed by the demolished wall opposite my house). I just live with it. Someone's doing some work....so what? But then I'm not yet a whinging git!

AKA The Widows Penny. Worth about £100.....if anyone would want to buy it.

And today Rick Parfitt of Status Quo has died as well.

Nice .... Have a good CHRISTMAS...

So will we the residents of Teignbridge be forking out for a builders cockup, but then the residents of Carhaix must be grateful as they wont like it when they get heavy constuction traffic using Carhaix as a short cut to the Gatehouse building site because the link road will not be built first.
