Roberta  - Dawlish isent dying, its no different than its been since the charity shops started to move in twelve years ago. The only part of Dawlish thats struggling is the town centre itself, and thats mainly due to greedy landlords and ridiculas business rates. If you want change leave the Strand, Lawn and Brunswick as they are and go for more development at Shutterton and the Warren. Eventually ...

@Robert Vickery Sorry Robert but any way you look at it your proposal lost the vote, now stop trying to confuse the issue, and dont waste anymore of our money trying to ammend the application. Bow out gracefully before your forced out like the last Con/dem lot and say to yourself - well at least I tried. Which in reallity is more than can be said for the 12,000 or so that cant be bothered.

To be honest the results from survey monkey seem pefectly easy to work out 56% of those that bothered to vote DONT want the new bandstand. If the paper vote goes the same way and the objections posted against the planning application out number the letters in favor then its a dead duck, so move on. What I would see as more important to a council getting near to re-election time is that ...

Supermarkets are no longer a threat to town centres. Their supply and distribution platform is their weakness as it is not sustainable.  Hundreds of huge lorries pounding up and down the motoways day in day out cannot be relied upon as a sole means of transporting goods. The same model is being used by internet companies to deliver goods and is also their weak link. Before this system falls ...

Ha but is Carol Vorderman's shape real or manufactured. Id look very closely if I were you. Jennifer Lopez does it for me a real womanly body and talented to. As for appointments being late that would be better than the previous one who you could never get an appointment with. The post is only really a reporting job so that the likes of Jeremy Christophersand and his crew are able to find ...

Would you rather the councillors kept everything they know for the secret closed session they always have after every council meeting. Its good they come on here and aire their views. What makes it more interesting is deciding wether to believe what they say or not. In the old days when it was the Lib Dems v Conservatives we the electorate got to know nothing and you may have noticed its ...

And who's going to be paying the insurance and repair bills for all these councillors to be able to use this vehicle. Cant wait for the descrepencies in the fuel account.

There were hundreds in Wales and the Northwest  closed yesterday

@Lynne Agree with you on that one, that old cricket pavilion is a lovely building and as you say would make an excellent cafe or  adult only wine bar, and a focal point for say the mobile stage as above. Adding to the excerise equipment idea, that stage trailer when empty can also accomodate those sort of machines ie treadmills and bikes plus weight training equip. Has a sound system for ...
