They truly are that idiotic.  Huge queues towards Exeter this morning and huge queues from Exeter this evening.  It's been like this all week.  No-one seems to have any sense when it comes to simple things like this.

The place was full last night for what was presumably the artists preview evening. Like Flo, I'm also a fan of Laura's work and am proud to own some of her work. I saw her yesterday and her latest piece looking down from Eastcliff is going to be brilliant! The detail is ridiculous. She says that she's looking forward to doing even more local commissions this year - including one in Dawlish, which ...

According to SWW the problem was a blockage after cleaning the pumps at Shutterton pumping station and is not a broken pipe.

Thanks Merlin, that's good news anyway.

Saw it on Friday night - hilarious! Brilliant cast and they only rehearsed it for 5 weeks. Much more entertaining than anything on tv.

People may be more inclined to call the police if it wasn't for a non emergency line that is not fit for purpose. To top it off they charge you for sitting on your phone for 25+ mins. Last time I called 101 about a disturbance I had to phone three times and each time was over 10 minutes with no answer. As the situation had got worse I felt I needed to phone 999 as their was an escalating ...

@Lynne - from appendix b. you have a total of 86 dwellings titled 'sample of properties sold since jan 2014'. i note a total of 86 dwellings with the most expensive being £351,950 and the cheapest at £77k. on breakdown you have 28 under £200k and of that only 2 under £150. for new developments praised for resolving the local peoples housing problem, i think not. I don't belive the majority of ...

I think it is 75 not 73 based on teignbridge planning website. They show 73 on the left of the junction and 75 on the right as you face sandy lane. Also it looks as though the garage has been converted to a living area. I believe you require change of use for that and I cannot see an application for that, for 75. I think you would need to submit a retrospective application if you bought the ...

@roberta -your post 08 april 2016 15:36 - it's not your place to decide, for others, when to stop discussing, debating, communicating about any thread on this site. if people wish to continue airing their thoughts, that is their right. why should we 'bury this thread' a significant amount of local money has been wasted at a time when the council is shouting poverty and running down essential ...

Right, so............that is a plan, as I understand it, giving dates when it is anticipated certain decisions should be made. So....... now the anticipated decision date (17th May) for the DA2 Development Framework DA2 SPD ain't gonna be met. And it ain't gonna be met because the TDC planning committe on Tuesday just gone decided that it had to be deferred and looked at again because of the link ...

Thank you Lynne, this list of dates is very helpful.

I would feel a lot happier if they spent more time looking in the back of anonymous vans during the night...they might actually catch a burglar.........🙄

All please note that I am now away with friends, but I had a friend make up and put a paper petition in Marine Stores, Exeter Road.  They are to ask all customers to sign today as the Planning Meeting is tomorrow morning.  If anyone else wishes to pop in I do not think they will mind, as it is only today.  Therefore tell friends who have no access to a computer where to go.  The friend is to pick ...
