Teignbridge Rotten Borough
@Ziggy And where was the quote published? Why not provide the source? And what are your thoughts on that update?
@Ziggy Where is the update from? Who met with Teignbridge Officers?
@Carer Then you'd presume wrong. Your comment is actually pretty flippant. My posts so far have covered the lack of Councillor integrity, wasting taxpayers money, ignoring local people,etc. Discussion/ debate tends to focus on topics where there's disagreement, difference or the need for improvement. If you're not interested in discussion, then why not scroll past those listings? I am ...
@Webmaster I already have, can't unfollow Events though. You miss the point, most people will not be aware they are following everything by default, they'll just see one general forum that they assume is Discussion, flooded with pieces of information that evidently aren't leading to discussion. The discussion section becomes devalued. Me unfollowing Notices and other sections won't make a ...
If you flood a discussion forum with posts that are just pieces of information that evidentlly aren't leading to discussion, then the discussion section becomes devalued.
It's not FREE in any case. The agencies aren't working at this event out of the kindness of their hearts, they're all funded by the taxpayer.

These posts don’t have the effect of stimulating debate. And I doubt any ...
Why is the Discussion section being treated as if it were a general noticeboard? There are separate sections for News, Events, Notices, etc. And very useful and informative they are too. But why are News, Events, Notices posts also in the Discussion section? If I want to see what's in the local News, Events, Notices I can click on the relevant section. By all means post ...
@Cassandra Could you expand on that? This is the discussion section after all. I don't know if you read the original post or looked at the link, but Expat's comment is accurate. Dawlish was an elegant seaside resort in Georgian and Victorian times - mainly due to three men who by the way weren't from the town. Given that it was originally a small fishing village, a lot of people would've moved ...
