Carnival 2014

Instead of granting money to a committee outside of council control would it not be more sensible for the council themselves to take over the administration and organisation of such an important event in the towns calender. It would also be a good oppertunity for the so called town manager to do some real work on behalf of the town for a change. It also seems that a few comment makers on here ...

Well the power of this forum and this particular thread has really caused a few people to sit up and take note. It seems Councillor Swift at last nights council meeting posted a motion suggesting a working party visit Minehead to have comparrison discussions with their Vision group. Hopefully this will lead to some fresh ideas and more involvement of our own local businesses and residents in ...

As with a lot of other things its time Dawlish dragged itself into the real world both when it comes to wages and to paying for services. Andysport's £27 per hour for manual labour is nothing compared to what people pay for a solicitor or decent accountant, but when employers down here only want to pay minimum wages then it probably does sound alot. People are their worst enemy, anyone who ...

Some good points here personally I would like to see Santander take over the Natwest site. Like Margret I to would like to be a part of a Vision group, providing the no names mentioned usual cast arent on it you know the ones that wear hats and dicky bows. Could it be the future of Dawlish lies on the other side by continuing the re-developing of Shutterton rather than what we currently call ...

As I walked down the main shopping avenue in Minehead I did make a list of the 26 main name shops if anyone is interested can post them. I have to admit I do most of our day to day shopping in Teignmouth and dont really mind doing so. Perhaps Dawlish town centre could be utilized for something else in the future as the number of shops decline. What would be useful would be for the local 186 bus ...

It looks to me that the future of Dawlish is actually Teignmouth especially on the high street type shopping/banking front. Have recently been working away in Minehead and one of the first things you notice is the thriving town centre shopping, this in addition to two large supermarkets out of town. With this in mind and having time on hands did a little internet research with strange ...

Rumour perhaps but have just been informed that it is highly unlikely that trains will be running what we know as a normal service on Friday. It seems only one of the two tracks will actually be serviceable and that there will only be a token movement of trains. Anyone know different.

Probably not but the first attempt would make an excellent Epic Fail video for posting on Youtube. Suggest we try it with one of Richard Bransons Virgin Voyager trains.

Sure thing we could make it a tripple header Cats, Badgers, Pheasants. Need to get posh Mr Cameroons permission first though.
