@1263 Well if Rosie or the Mayor of Newton Abbot get elected as County Councillor for Dawlish they would have 3 Council jobs. That'd be in addition to Rosie running a charity so that would make 4. Would you be as critical of them or is it just poor Martin you take issue with? You're misinformed about where Martin lives. He does not live in Starcross as you believe, he lives in Cockwood which ...
Not so @1263 . You referred to a Liberal Democrat Councillor who threatened violence. Gary, regretfully and stupidly didn't threaten, he physically sought to remove another Councillor manhandling him by the lapels. Some accuse him of assault, I agree with Martin who informs us that Gary was protecting members from the spread of covid. I simply sought clarification as you don't seem well ...
@1263 I don't think you're properly informed or that you read the news when the incident of violent misconduct occurred. In any case the local press was rather lenient to Gary Taylor, who did offer an apology. He could've been a liability to the party, but it turns out it had little impact on the party as we're still 'Winning Here'. Yes Gary is representing Kenton and Starcross where it seems ...
@1263 Politics is about priorities and taking tough decisions. I am well aware Rosie started that petition for the replacement bridge. Just because I'm a Liberal Democrat it doesn't mean I agree with everything Liberal Democrat Councillors and MPs do or say. I'm entitled to my opinion., although I understand the usefulness of petitions in the public eye. Martin stood for election in the 2019 ...
@1263 Martin will have two roles after May 1st, that of our MP and a District Councillor for Dawlish NE. He currently has 3 roles - MP, County and District Councillor, with one salary for MP, the rest are allowances. Up until February he was also a Town Councillor, so that was 4 roles in government. So I think I am awake to reality thank you. The other bridge in Manor Gardens is quite ...
Greed, gluttony and sloth are 3 of the 7 Deadly Sins and religion has little to do with this seasonal festival of binge eating.
@burnside Could you expand on the nauseating comment? Does it relate to Rosie's Chairing of the District Council meeting about Broadmeadow leisure centre changing rooms and trans rights? That made the national press. In truth Martin doesn't deal very well with confrontation and criticism.
@Burnside, Is that your principle issue with Rosie? That she wears her chain of office to the local theatre? Is that more important than her achievements as a Town and District Councillor in her campaign to also serve on the higher tier of local government? I think not. And would you take issue with a Tory Councillor wearing their chain of office to the theatre, or a Reform Councillor? Heaven ...
Why not check on the Town Council website who the Mayor has been since last May? Here's the link. https://www.dawlish.gov.uk/the-mayor/ Had you clicked and read the link at the beginning you would see that Martin is not standing in the upcoming County Council election. He is still a County Councillor until that election on May 1st. Here it is again, just in case you can be bothered to open ...
Rosie is no longer the Mayor, at present the Mayor is Lin (Goodman-Bradbury), so she hasn't been photographed with the 'chain glued around her neck' for some time now. Rosie will be hoping to take over from Martin who is busy working tirelessly for us all in Westminster these days. He leaves a big hole to fill in the County Council, one that can only be filled by someone like Rosie.
