Just wondering if anyone else thinks Sainsburys here are ripping us off? Petrol is £1.38.9 a litre here and £1.33.9 at Sainsburys, Brixham Rd, Paignton. Diesel is £1.44.9 here and £1.40.9 at Paignton. The garage in Starcross is charging the same as Sainsburys, or was last time I looked. Does anyone know what Sainsburys are charging at Newton Abbott and Exeter? Is it time for a really serious ...

Town Shops Closing !!
16 Jan 2012

@leatash , when was the survey? the first we heard about it was when the results were posted in the gazette!

@Newtotown , sainsburys has wide aisles where i can browse without tripping over dogs or mobility scooters, i can easily avoid other shoppers or browsers without fear of getting run over. walking down the strand on a weekend, especially in summer, is not a pleasant experience.

@leatash , going slightly off topic...but are we going back to weekly bin collections?

I'm moving house and I really would rather not take this with us! It is blue, in used condition, but hasn't been excessively used. It could probably do with a clean as well, however, it is still very servicable, in my opinion. Anyone interested e-mail fishccer@aol.com .

Can you believe it???

This seems a reasonable response, lets see what happens from here Many thanks for your email and I have recently asked that the parking restrictions you refer to be removed, as background about five years ago DCC proposed to remove the restrictions and I asked for them to be retained following representations from the two shops then still open but now there is no requirement and I was surprised ...

I have sent an e-mail to Cllr Clatworthy and am awaiting a response, I'll keep you posted. Copy of e-mail... Why have parking restrictions been put in place along Old Town St? I understand that when there were shops there, the restrictions applied, with reason. However, there are no shops there now and no restrictions have applied for at least 2 1/2 years, probably longer. In my opinion, ...

What's the story with putting parking charges onto the parking bays on Old Town Street? Cannot believe they've done it, It's not exactly a hot tourist area, there's nothing there other than residences. I've driven past today and there are about 5 cars with tickets on, the same cars that have been parking there ever since I've been living here. It is a real disgrace, purely a money making scheme. ...

Seagulls
20 Apr 2011

Whilst I agree that the seagulls in the current numbers can be a nuisance, I do not appreciate having one shot with an air rifle in the middle of the afternoon right near where I live. It is also breeding season at the moment and the one that was shot is part of a nesting pair. The seagull in question was wounded, it fell onto a nearby roof and was writhing in what I imagine was pain, it then fell ...

I had the same problem, went to Tools, then clicked on Compatibility View, this solved the problem. Don't know whether you would have to do this every time you came back to the forum though.
