It takes experience, understanding and a huge amount of time to be an effective and competent councilor. The voices of Dawlish representatives would appear to have niether of these. Dont forget though that they were voted in by the people who wanted change, well you certainly got your wish so no point moaning on here about it now. We all have to live with this for the next four years unless of ...

There is without doubt a whole load of agreements between Sainsbury's and the three levels of council which the general public and business owners are not being informed about. Anyone who has spotted that Sainsbury's appear to be doing exactly as they please, flouting planning laws, advertising controls, road traffic laws etc, and have bothered to question this with the authorities will probably ...

Hopefully if the Police do pay any attention it will be on the side of the tax paying motorist for a change by issuing fixed penalty notices to cyclists who do not use the cycle paths when available to them. The more you minority road users moan and groan the more attention you are attracting to yourselves and when the government force you to have insurance, road tax and a MOT for your cycles you ...

Business Closures

Looks like another Dawlish business has fallen quietly by the wayside. Hiremasters Ltd on Dawlish business park closed on Friday. The company started and run for many successful years by the late Mr. P. Matthews and responsible for the construction of most of the more respectable buildings on the estate will be sadly missed by those who knew and worked for the family. Good luck to Mr. D. Brown and ...

And who was it said Sainsbury's wont have any effect on the town centre shops then. Four weeks to opening and sounds like even Tesco's have seen the light, The towns finished get used to it

Nice one Lynne and I thought this forum was for the benifit of Dawlish not Newton Abbot, whats wrong with the local businesses that provide the same service. Stuff Newton Abbot text your items and contact details to 07853530491 and keep it local

This 70% figure as used by Sainsbury's to prove to the planning dept that there was in fact a need for a supermarket in Dawlish is just a con trick which Teignbridge fell for. The obvious reason why these people shop in Exeter and Newton is because they work there and do their shopping on the way home. With 5-6 weeks to go before Sainsbury's open and no real reason why Tesco shouldnt be open for ...

Might also be taking a shower or using the special communication system to cheat on XBox What they wont be doing is solving any local crime. Sorry investigating not solving Does anyone think the new councilors might have something to say on the matter or do we just keep paying for a service we are not getting

These are the brain dead, organ donors that Devon County Council think are worth spending thousands of pounds of tax payers money on by providing special cycle paths for them. As mentioned in other posts on here they probably wont use them as they prefer being a bloody nuisance on the roads and footpaths. Lynne and the other prolific forum moaners will no doubt answer your post with a interesting ...

Police??
5 Jun 2011

They do not seem to be Police anymore., as proven by the actual crime investigation figures reported in the local press only recently. What they do seem to do extremely well however is collect stealth tax on behalf of the government agencies like DVLA , VOSA etc with the average motorist being the usual easy target. One example of this is how the government enforced spending cuts mean fewer ...
