Investment bank Morgan Stanley moving 2000 London based staff to Dublin and Frankfurt.

As housebuilding and immigration seem to be two very hot topics I thought I'd post this that I've just come across in one of the professional housing magazines. The Federation of Master Builders has warned the government a new immigration system must provide the construction sector with enough skilled workers. Brian Berry,chief executive of the FMB, said: "The UK construction industry has been ...

But the decision is theirs to take. (and NI might agitate for a referendum as well remember). In which case yesterday's decision to leave the EU might end up with the break up of the UK. A political variation of Newton's third law of physics perhaps? (for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction)

TDC knew about the breach of the S106 condition before it was reported in the Gazette (and I definitely know that for a fact). I've just gotten back from Donald Trump land so when I've gotten over my jet lag and we have all gotten over the referendum I'll probably drop TDC another email to see what they say about the enforcement. I did wonder to myself if Redrow had suspended the selling of their ...

Well.........as the youngsters are gonna have a good time this weekend I don't see why us oldies shouldn't do the same thing. Loved, just loved, just loved, Jethro Tull. Saw the band many a times at the Colston Hall, Bristol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsCyC1dZiN8

Well, 'the public' will need someone to look at whether a legal challenge is feasible or not. You seem to be leading on this at the moment BarbaraW.........

Have now received a response. TDC agree there is no SANGS in place and that there should be. TDC in discussion with Redrow re getting the SANGS in situ soonest. I emailed back asking if Redrow had forgotten ('forgotten'?) about the SANGS agreement and for an estimated date of when the SANGS will be in place. If I hear more I'll put it on here.

Who she? Well she's a GP and she also chairs the House of Commons Health select committee. So I'd say she's got a good knowledge of the NHS. IN

Vote Leave’s newsletter today (and most days) says, ‘ We send £350 million a week to the EU – enough to build a new hospital every week’, and the claim features in the campaign’s election video , released online. However, despite their making this central to their case for Brexit, it’s not actually true. The £350 million figure is based on an annual figure of £18 billion paid by the UK to the EU ...

I went along Warren Road this morning. Thank goodness I was in a car and not on foot. The stench by the sewage works was awful.

Who is saying that all Brexiteers are necessarily UKIP supporters?

NATO includes the US and Canada. It is a military organisation The EU has European* countries only. It is more of a economic and political organisation. * cue postings about Turkey.

Didn't buy it - just saw the picuture on the front page. (bought the I just in case you are interested).

UPDATE ON THE DAWLISH LINK ROAD CAMPAIGN On Friday 27th May 2016, Dawlish town councillors were invited to attend a presentation from the Teignbridge District Council planning department: Simon Thornley, Alex Lessware, Phil Shears, and team. They explained the options for accelerating the building of the Link Road, that we are demanding, that they had explored. Three Dawlish town councillors ...

I don't know who is buying it but I understand that Devon County Council were in talks with Teignbridge District Council with a view for it being used for residential purposes. Guess we will just have to wait for the planning application to be submitted.

It's a mural of two blokes kissing. And the big deal is? It might be that the mural challenges embedded cultural homophobia.  Has anyone asked the artist? Loads of links concerning it. • News about We are Europe kissing boris and donald trump mural bristol search.aol.co.uk/aol/news See more news for We are Europe kissing boris and donald trump mural bristol • Pro-EU artists ...

Yes , just got back from there. It is BIZZZZZEEEEEEEEE

It has been suggested to me that we could have had a really really radical solution to the cycling path/hair pin bend issue which could have been....... To close down Lanhearne and then use the whole site (including where the allotments used to be) to really widen the road and at the same time put in a cycle path.

I guess what will be a big factor is how much Jelly has to spend. But if Jelly were to be looking for a flat(ish), central(ish), surprisingly quiet part of town then as Farty suggests try looking around the Barton area and Coryton Close. But bottom line of course is that 1)you can only buy what is on the market and 2)what your finances will allow.

I was down Newhay a few weeks back. Daytime. Sat and listened to a bird (don't know what type) singing away on a nearby branch for all it was worth. Mesmerisingly beautiful.

Then there's the Brunswick Arms along Brunswick Place in the town centre. Or you could go out of town and go along to Cockwood. Two pubs there - The Ship and The Anchor. Both do food.

this link should take you to the Appeal documentation http://gis.teignbridge.gov.uk/TeignbridgePlanningOnline/Results.aspx?Type=Appeal&Refval=16/00018/REF click on Associated Documents (see bottom left hand side).

On the compulsory purchase bit of this bill: The government is going to reform the CPO process so that landowners receive today's market value of property, rather than its future value. Which would mean that landowners, farmers, and individual property owners could see their compensation fall significantly under the new compulsory purchase orders. So.....no point in buying farms and farming land ...

Not all ex pats have got a vote. 'ave a read http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/04/28/david-cameron-and-former-union-boss-warn-brexit-would-be-a-disas/

I am not suggesting that new houses be given away. It is the government that is 'giving away' Starter Homes up to the tune of a 20% discount on the price of each one. I am talking about homes for those who cannot afford to buy (even allowing for that 20% discount) and who therefore need to rent. In other words I am talking about affordable rental housing (housing with rents no more than 80% of ...

This Appeal was on the Agenda at last week's Dawlish Town Council planning committee meeting where it was Resolved that: "Secmaton Lane must not be used for any construction traffic or any access to new houses".

@Taverner . I think you are referring to the Voices for Dawlish councillors who were in office 2011 -2015. I seem to remember a letter in the Dawlish Gazette shortly after they were elected from an ex Lib Dem councillor having a pop at them (or some of them) claiming that they were really Labour people. I have no idea if that is or was true. But I do know that I wrote a letter in response saying ...

Extract from the 2015 Conservative Party Manifesto. "We will build 200,000 Starter Homes and more affordable housing. We will build 200,000 quality Starter Homes over the course of the next Parliament, reserved for first-time buyers under 40 and sold at 20 per cent below the market price. We have delivered over 217,000 new affordable homes since 2010. We will now go further, delivering 275,000 ...

Anne Marie Morris responds: As the Minister knows, I have campaigned for a community right of appeal for many years, and it is now time to consider that issue seriously as there is more and more support for it across the House. The Minister said that the original right of appeal was introduced to redress the balance in favour of the landowner, who was effectively having his freedom taken away. I ...

I thought 'Dawlish based' was implied by the subject heading of this thread. Never mind whether things are possible or not (for the time being at any rate). This thread is about a wish list. Look at my very first posting.

Wonder if any of our district councillors know what is going on?

I think there's a bit of a difference between someone wanting to do something but not being financially able to do so and someone being able to financially do something but choosing not to do so. And this government is most definitely not on the side of those who are unable to afford to buy a home of their own. This government is 'into' home ownership BIG TIME. And if that means building lots of ...

Yes it will be a shame but........ I do not know the people who organised it but I have often thought about the huge amount of pressure they must have been under with regard to it all. I know I wouldn't want that and perhaps, now, neither do they?

Is this used for anything anymore or is it just standing empty?

Number of new homes due to be built in Dawlish over the next years is circa 1000. On DA2 (that's the area northwest of Secmaton Lane, made up mainly but not exclusively of, Gatehouse Farm, Secmaton Farm and Langdon (NHS)) 25% of housing is scheduled to be affordable. 25% of 1000 = 250. Not that far off the 227 figure that you quote. BUT the affordables will not be built all at once. ...

and here is the same info again but perhaps more clearly worded? What is an affordable home? The government defines it as a home for people “whose needs are not met by the market”. Largely, it includes homes that are not part of the private market. Social rent – homes owned by local authorities and housing associations, charging roughly 40pc to 60pc of market prices Affordable rent – homes let by ...

and if  Gatehouse were to go to Appeal and win then so much for the wishes of  the community having any sway! It would be a matter of 'up yours' to Dawlish residents courtesy of the Gatehouse applicants' Appeal being upheld via the Planning Inspectorate. So....up to the Gatehouse family then. Anyone know who they are?

More info from the postcard: Bovis are offering a trade in on my current home as part payment for one of their new ones. They will offer me 100% market value on my present abode and sort out all the removals. They will consider properties anywhere in England and Wales (so not just me then ). But........this home exchange scheme includes various caveats (but of course!) including that the property ...
