@Netiquette , Yes, I am in favour of the development of this long-neglected site - however while the application had a lot to recommend it (including the retention of the more salvageable parts of the buildings) the majority view was that the scheme amounted to over-development, with a knock-on effect on amenity. Having spoken to neighbours on all sides, most seem to be generally very ...

I am sorry you feel that way about Martin Wrigley and me, OurSoul (and Woodcock) - but your comments could not be further from the truth. By the way, the auction sale signs you see in the fields does not refer to the land as you suggest, but to the crop. Say no more. Gary Taylor

Martin worked with Richard to set up a meeting with Anne Marie Morris later in 2014. No help was forthcoming from AMM at that time - but it was always ...

Absolutely correct, 1263 - although I believe you mean to address your comments to my right honourable friend, OurSoulOfDawlish. Gary Taylor

@Brenda , I have offered an olive branch to contributor Doc, but so far he has chosen not to respond. Now if you would excuse me, this idiot has some last minute leafleting to do - prior to a very busy day tomorrow. Are you prepared to shake virtual hands with me before the contest? Gary Taylor
