@Brazilnut Thank you thats exactly the situation my view is aimed at avoiding this proposed estate in twenty years time will be just what you describe. In the 50s councils in the outlying towns of the big cities built the same sort of estates that Barratts are proposing they became no go areas with the decent families moving out  leaving the scum to create a mob rule culture. Eventually in the 80s ...

As the goverment have now cleared the way for the construction of Hincley C power station, could someone justify why EDF energy a French owned company are being allowed to construct and operate the site. Do British companies not have the skills and technical knowledge to build and operate this plant. Unless the site and the power it generates is 100% British owned and under national control then ...

We are trying to make people aware that Teignbridge District Council has put the Pirates Chest up for tender in a way that seems very under-handed to Bob. Many of you know he has been there for over 30years and is much loved by all. Please read the copy of the email sent to Nicola Bulbeck " Cheif Executive",email addy:- Nicola.Bulbeck@teignbridge.gov.uk ,   John Cocker "Director", ...

Well all I did was speak my mind! I notice that the train station is currently being repainted, another thing to be greatful for. The town will look lovely by the summer.

the option for the user to reverse direction would be most helpful. thanks. the other issue reflects that it says on the ma in discussion page that someone has posted, but when you actually click on the topic, there is nothing new there. thanks for your response to my questions.

I remember him trying to get councils to reinstate weekly bin collections, that didnt have any teeth either.

These will become part of Dawlish history in years to come. Thank you for taking the time Ziggy

Well that sums it up doesn't it? He's a throughly horrible individual and typical of the ministers today in parliament irrespective of their party. The main 3 parties all have their own hypocrites and the country needs a new type of politician and party that has some conviction and moral standing.

Hope the moron gets thrown out again and preferably put on a sinking boat back to Gurnsey where he can crawl back under his stone for another ten years

We are running a Easter Competition for details please see our facebook page!

1 Dawlish A visit to Dawlish and Dawlish Warren combines a beach day with a nature trail. Dawlish has the beach and Dawlish Warren has a nature reserve. Being part of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and home to over 600 types of flowering plants, it’s easy to see why it’s so popular with visitors and wildlife alike. Waders and wildfowl can be observed from the various hides which are ...

On a more sensible note remembering back in the 70s up in the Midlands we used to have Sunday markets. They were not so much car boot sales but proper markets with proper market traders. I recall these started off quite small on the old traditional market grounds and factory car parks, but then thay became a massive Sunday activity and moved into the local fields. I maybe wrong but I think the ...

Neil, Thanks.  It was the usual Topsy problem where I did not set out for it to be long and I became completely absorbed in thought and action - searching out links, reading, pasting them into the message, etc. (completely missing the rugby I had intended to watch.) Don
