Happy I make someone happy its all cool mad but not bad

Apparently asking where the money goes on salaries is personal information where is freedom of information gone do not trust them

Dawlish is to have a open air ice rink for the three day May Day bank holiday from 3rd to 5th of May. The town council chipped in £1,000 towards the hire charge. The rink is organised by the Dawlish Chamber of Commerce at the cost of £4,000. It is hoped it will attract thousands of visitors to Dawlish. The rink will be set up on the lawn and will also have a snow machine and penguin mascots for ...

The trustees have had the money since 2005 over £46,000 has any of it been used or is it in the bank making interest

The cameras were probably paid for out of the regeneration money. If thats true about the council then it is disgusting we are supposed to have freedom of press

I do not think you mean a closed shop, they are certainly not! What you may mean is, that topics have already been decided upon and what ever you say will not make a jot of difference. That is where public participation comes in. Go along and try it!

I also have a wife that works hard and two children, but it seems the harder you try the less you get. But one day we might get rewarded (hopefully).

A laughing tax next?

I wasn't talking about ethics, I was talking about the cheap supply of food. Although I agree that the two are linked.

He'll burn it again. Seems obvious.

Agree about pasties aslo clotted cream There is loads of good things in Dawlish. There is a good curry shop in Teignmouth was just pointing out Paradise Palace is expensive and The curry shops in Birmingham are fantastic

i stayed there a few months ago and would thoroughly recommend the place. the two chaps are smashing and only too happy to oblige. beautiful location too.

.. you have TV sport in there .. yuk.

Councillors get paid an allowance and expenses. Its the district council who take the bulk of "local tax "oh I mean council tax. The district and county council are the ones with the hoards of managers and handouts. My daughter used to be a p.a to one of them she was shocked at the waste of money, thats our money. The majority of council meetings are behind closed doors why, we should be able to ...

I am going to phone the council up tomorrow

My housing needs are sorted I am moving to York (where my sister moved). There is a lot of good affordable places to rent and a lot of well paid jobs

Have you wondered why there's a lot of negativity on this site? Maybe it's because there's not a lot to be positive about.

thats called envy

Hope your right

and it should be it's not its as you have written

When he lived in Greater London many years ago, Graham Burchell was familiar with the expression, you wait ages for a bus and two come along together. He didn't figure that years later as an award winning poet and children's author living in Dawlish, he would be able to say the same about the publication of his poetry books. Two slim works, sometimes referred to as chap books have been published ...

There are many many people like yourselves.A lot of those who oppose new housing especially Affordable Housing are worried their propertys value will go down

Yes you can!

Unfortunately people think that we should pay a premium for living in such a beautiful part of the country. I have two teenage children that work had but will never be able to afford to get onto the property ladder nor can they rent anywhere because domestic bills are to high. They have now both decided that they may be better off moving away. In my mind this is wrong as they have been priced out ...

When you say the secondary school wasn't interested can you explain what you mean please.

Agree with everything you say . If the affordable housing is for local people as it should be & as it is in other parts of the country. We do have a growing indigenous population & problems with schools etc will have to be tackled with or without new housing and you never know the reat may be second or holiday homes!

I understand that the stupid people of Dawlish like their money to be spent wisely. CCTV is a very wise investment. It reduces the fear of crime, it prevents and detects crime and the cameras can't see in the dark, now that's value for money.

very interesting piece. it is available to watch on the bbc website under the politics show south west reviews

why does the council need new premises.Another way of wasting council tax? For all the good they do they may as well have their meetings in a pub, Oh forgot meetings are "not open the public"

Well Dawlish pillars of society are offering you supermarkets for a start. They are trying to deny you open space. They are attempting to build so many houses that it won't be too far into the future that congestion charging will be brought in. You have a variety of estate agents (to many) all playing the same tune. You have a variety of charity shops and numerous coffee houses. You would get more ...

If Dawlish is so 'bad' why have so many people moved here from other parts of the country? Go on, ask yourselves that.

I agree the beach is ideal but as I have to take my dog out a few times a day and it has to fit in with work it doesn't always fit in with the tides! Haldon and the obelisk are great for days out with the family but not for a quick run before work....

More than 200 people attended a public meeting in Dawlish to debate whether the town needs a new supermarket.The meeting was called following proposals by Tesco for a supermarket at Sandy Lane and Sainsbury's interest in the Shutterton Estate. Alan Connett, leader of the district council, said: "I was delighted to see so many people at the meeting who are concerned about achieving the best for ...

by the way!
