It was a black bag left outside of the Natwest bank. The police did a very loud controlled explosion and out popped a typewriter. Everyone came down town to watch. All very strange.
I posted something similar a while ago. All goverment agencies seem to think it is OK to sell personal details to companies willing to cough up the money. 192 buys its data off government agencies like the Electoral Register and Companies House.
I've watched it and it is a good video. If this site can help the cause by promoting it then that is only a good thing. I remember reading one of the webmaster's original posts that says we can discuss anything we like which is why I post things that are not always about Dawlish.
I think it would be best to just scrap this benefit and increase the tax threshold to something that resembles the cost of living. I would like to see :- 1) Increase the tax and NI threshold to 12K or what you would earn on the minimum wage working full time. 2) Merge NI and tax and have a fixed tax rate of say 45% for everyone. 3) Stop taking tax off people and then giving it back to them as ...

Free parking is a good idea. Councils should provide parking in small towns like Dawlish to encourage people to visit and spend. I don't go to Exmouth much now because of their parking charges. Even in the winter when the place is dead you still have to pay to park. Councils benefit from a healthy local economy anyway don't they because of local business rates? Perhaps if they also got a share of ...
I was going to say I would have preferred a Tesco to Sainsbury, but not if they have grumpy staff. I always found the staff at the Exeter Rydon Lane store quite friendly.
Because we are trying to save our highstreet remember?
According to page 3 of the Gazette, the council are giving away £20,000 on energy efficiency improvements. Why do they always try and spin it as help for the tenants? Tenants are not responsible for structural changes, maintenence or improvements to the property they rent. What should happen is that tennecy law should be updated to make it a requirement for landlords to meet certain requirements ...
