@S read it again, it's how it's distributed I am refering to and the various nuances that certain countries have which should not be able to be applied when splitting funding. I assume the area you work in doesn't come across the same issues as my place of work does on a daily basis!

That is being used now due to roadworks in Kenton in the evening. Do many people use it? Maybe locals in the summer but is it that big of a problem? How will it be policed (suspect it won't)?

Hm.  I guess this will still allow cars to get to the Starcross sailing club ? What about Powderham Corner (to start the towpath walk towards the Turf) ?

@Dil the EU funding has to be agreed by ALL member states after being discussed by the EU council and EU parliament. Some countries pay in more and receive less in funding based on a number of factors. The UK is the 4th biggest contributor to the EU budget. Do you know why? Because we have 4th biggest GNI of the EU countries. Germany pays almost double what we do, France 2nd pay over 7% more than ...

To be honest the Leave campaign didn't overspend by that much and I don't believe that overspend had anything to do with the way the referendum went. £9 million on a leaflet that was a pretty awful promotion for remaining was a waste of money.  Both amounts are a pittance compared with how much the Brexit process has cost so far! What did make a difference because it came up in discussions ...

I love how the Remoaners accuse the Leave campaign of overspending and all other kinds of skullduggery, but conveniently forget the £9 million that Cameron spent on sending a leaflet to every home in the country imploring us to vote remain, and by some shenanigans he managed to avoid the spending limits imposed on the Remain campaign.  Don't lecture me about fair rules, Remoaners make me vomit.

A petition to free a jailed body modifier known as Dr Evil has been signed by more than 17,600 people. Brendan 'Dr Evil' McCarthy, who previously worked as a freelance artist at tattoo studios in Paignton and Dawlish, was sent to prison for 40 months last week.

In a trial starting in April for 12 months traffic will be stopped from using Estuary Road and Church Road through Powderham, alongside the River Exe. The only vehicles allowed will be for access, and will apply for the full length of the route between the A379 junctions at Red Lodge in the north and Starcross in the south. Read more... ...

Just to give a bit of substance to an earlier comment which for me is a real concern regarding being in the EU and not on a level playing field. The funding received in the UK for joint projects with other EU members does not end up with everyone getting an equal share of the pie. For example you have a french citizen and a british citizen both working on the same project both spending a day out ...

If you sack the politicians who want a peoples vote or want to remain then surely all those that lied and colluded with cambridge analytica and their satellite companies and overspent by more than 1/2 million and blatantly lied should be sacked, tried for fraud and the referendum deemed undemocratic. Therefore the only fair and democratic thing to do is re-run the referendum as a binding vote ...
