This is from his (LM) facebook page - the person  to whom  he is referring is Nigel Farage. Liam Mullone SDA make me your MP Well I can promise I would NEVER charge people money to watch me talk bollocks. I believe the bollocks I talk to be a human right and necessity.

You? Goodness me no. I was addressing just anyone who happened to read this thread. (And if you have a moan about my not addressing anything else you have written in your post above that's because I haven't read it. )

You've received a flyer from the conservatives?? I haven't. The only party I've received anything from is the Lib Dems (and before anyone says that's because they believe I am a supporter I would just say that I watched the  person delivering go all along the street.). Suspect many Labour activists are in Exeter or Plymouth.

I asked the webmaster publicly on this thread to adjudicate. Thank you webmaster for doing so.

I'm perfectly fine thank you.

I haven't been charmed by anyone. As I have previously stated, I am voting tactically.

Well back in 2009 (and for some years after that) there were quite a few people who posted on here and even more I suspect who read the threads. Both numbers have declined over recent years. Time on here wasn't wasted then - what started me off was  the threat of a supermarket being built on Sandy Lane playing fields. I log on to this website out of habit.  (right now is a perfecct  example) Guess ...

I have no idea of the whys and wherefores of decisions made by and at TDC. However, I do know, having worked in local governemnt myself at one time, that decisions are indeed made by officers (ie employees of the council). The first any members (councillors) may know about any decisions made by officers (employees) is if that officer decision proves contentious. I'd say that at an optimum there ...

Lib Dems increase vote in Ashburton and Buckfastleigh SATURDAY, MAY 4, 2024  BY PRSD Teignbridge council leader Martin Wrigley welcomed Lib Dem Jack Major’s win in the Ashburton and Buckfastleigh by-election to replace the late Cllr Huw Cox. Martin said: “It’s great to see Jack win with a 192 majority and an increased vote share and I know that Jack will be a great councillor for the area. Huw ...

The only local election being held this May which the citizens of Dawlish will be able to vote in is that for the Police and Crime Commissioner for Devon and Cornwall Police. There are no local elections taking place in Dawlish for the town council (takes place every four years last one took place  last year in 2023), or for Teignbridge District Council (again takes place every four years and ...

And I fear that you will also end up talking to yourself on this site. Has anyone else engaged with you other than me? Having ventured forth I may well now disengage. I actually don't give a toss as to how the child care crisis is resolved - as long as it is.  I hope I am not a zealot of ideology. Whatever works the best in practice is my approach. And I appreciate that you read my letters/posts ...

So I've now had some time to find out more about this changing places facility. Seems it is a toilet facility specifically aimed at those who are dependent on others for help with their toiletting Also,as I write this, I do not know how TDC is financing this installation but from research it seems that central government has a pot of money that it is asking councils to bid for specifically in ...

And the cost per resident per week is?

Yes, it's the bridge that will go over Shutterton Brook so that the new road twixt Gatehouse Farm and Sainsbury's is er.....linked up. This was/is the road that was identified as needing to be built back in 2014. It's only taken ten years!

This letter is in the most recent edition of the Dawlish Gazette. " I have been following the erosion of the dunes and the movement of the beach at Dawlish Warren since about 2005-2006.  Commenting through two local plans, the Shoreline Management Plan (SMP2) and the Exe Estuary Partnership.  In my opinion the long term future of this location is currently not looking good. There are many reasons ...

er........all this money that the developers are spending. Would that be out of the goodness of their hearts or because they have to make such financial contributions as a condition of their being able to make a profit from developing this land?

Just come across this https://hensfordpark.co.uk/reports which is from the developers behind the Hensford Park proposal to local councillors. It is dated September 2023.

THE Labour Party’s decision to put Newton Abbot on its list of ‘non-priority’ general election constituencies has been welcomed by the man who wants to wrest the seat from the Conservatives . Lib Dem Martin Wrigley, who leads Teignbridge Council, will stand at the election expected in 2024, aiming to unseat Tory MP Anne Marie Morris. Read more here ...

Just a reminder.

Gatehouse farm house, which for a short while operated as a child care nursery but which ceased functioning as such in 2019, has been given planning permission (@ 18.12.2023) to be converted into two residential dwellings.

This link should take you to it. https://democracy.devon.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=133&MId=4711&Ver=4 then click on "view webcast". Child care sufficiency report item runs from 59 mins - 1.18. Cllr Wrigley speaks from 1.04 - 1.09.

this is what is at the bottom of the press article "Parents, a gift you may have spend hundreds of pounds on, may then cost you more money in recovery fees.'" Might I suggest that it could cost them more than that - the life of their child! I have witnessed on more than one occasion how near to an accident there has been between motor vehicle and child on an e- scooter. They are not only a danger ...

This is the text of Dawlish Town Council's submission to the Teignbridge Local Plan (2020-2040) Addendum Consultation (SWRRP = South West Rail Resilience Programme). Resolved that the committee would submit the following comments on behalf of Dawlish Town Council: Dawlish Town council would like to comment that they are happy with the removal of the 3 sites, Southdowns Road, Kenton and Ipplepen, ...

If anyone is interested in knowing why no sites were selected it seems that the main issue is that most of the land lays within the Dawlish Warren Critical Drainage Area and for the time being at least the Environment Agency has put an effective ban on any more development there due to flood risk. (The Persimmon ongoing development, and the yet to be started developments at Gatehouse and Secmaton ...

Don't know what it is like town side of the above junction trying to get out of town, but there is a long tailback going further back than the junction with Warren Road by Warren Copse for traffic trying to get into town (or trying to access Henty Ave, Sandy Lane, Elm Grove Road). Just a heads up.

Well that proved quite successful. More meetings planned for the New Year. Tuesday 16th Jan and Tuesday 23rd Jan 2024. 9.45 - 1.00pm. email eycs@devon.gov.uk for more info and/or to register interest

In my post dated 18th Nov at (g) I talked about developer profit margins. Apparently it's in the region of 35.5%

DAWLISH - Land Adjacent To Sutton Close Dawlish. Appeal against the non-determination of 22/01923/OUT: Outline application for a exceptions site with 4 First Homes (approval sought for access and scale) Appeal Dismissed.

And that damage was done by a storm not coming in from the east. What might happen should we have a storm of similar strength or more that does come from the east? Especially to those areas that are flat and/or below sea level. Damage? Floods? Wakey! Wakey! Dawlish Warren and Starcross. see https://dawlish.com/thread/details/48431

Dawlish and Teignmouth Town Councils are backing a campaign by the Friends of Dawlish Hospital to re-open the minor injuries unit at Dawlish hospital. They need to know if you or anyone you know needed the service and it was not available. Fill in a paper survey at the Manor, Strand Centre, or Library or fill it in online https://forms.office.com/e/waXShex1Ut or talk to Geoff at the Strand Centre ...

Dawlish doesn't have a Neighbourhood Plan.  Other parishes do though. There was an attempt some  4/5 (?) years back to get people involved to produce one but nothing came of it. Are you confusing the terminology Neighbourhood Plan with that of Local Plan? (There was however,  back in 2012, a 'Neighbourhood Plan' produced by the good people of Dawlish but this was all part of a pilot project to do ...

Just had a look at the planning docs. Seems it's Taylor Wimpey that's developing this land. Taylor Wimpey, along with Bloor Homes, are the developers for the larger tract of land that was once Gatehouse Farm land where some 400 homes are scheduled to be built in the near future. Hope the link road and its necessary bridge across Shutterton Brook is in situ before all that building work kicks off! ...

I wonder if AMM could give us an update on the lack of child care provision in Dawlish.
