Sounds like you and I are in agreement then Flo. Politics should be about all the issues you mentioned and more.

Why would Dawlish Town Council do that ? It is not planning any public art projects. Far better that anyone planning such a project ask the planners directly. Direct communication is always better A separate and equally important consideration is whether TDC estates department would give consent as a Landowner, whatever the planning position. Most importantly - what do the people of ...
One Final reminder ....... Don't miss out The Town Council has paid for the skip service to be in town again on Saturday 28th March Dawlish Warren Car Park from 10:00am to 4:00pm You might like to put this date in your diaries now, so you can plan to empty those cupboards and garages ! The following materials CANNOT be accepted: Trade waste, plasterboard, asbestos, ...
Has pledged to leave the country if Miliband becomes Prime Minister #Justsaying :)
