Don't forget all of the Sheltered Housing Schemes who have had their Warden funding removed! This policy is just not 'joined up' - Give it 2 years tops and the DCC housing for older people policy will be in absolute turmoil!

Oh, okay then! So someone who is not contibuting can get a new boiler whilst those of us paying for it can't afford one? Great policy - well enjoy your new boiler. I'll just wrap myself in my old sleeping bag and continue to cut logs if I can find them!!!

Salmond has damaged the Union beyond repair with his rhetoric. Only yesterday he compared Westminster (and by association - the English) to apartheid South Africa.

If you're getting signal from Stockland Hill you'll have loads of channels - if you get it from the relay at the top of Badlake you'll only have around 20. I hasten to add that you'll still be paying the same amount for your licence though!!!! Good innit!!!!!!!

1920s Postcard depicting "Red Rock and Boating Cove"

4 Jul 2014

Lived in Dawlish all my life (and 2 generations before me). Red Rock is at Boat Cove (see Gazette 'Then and Now' pic from a few weeks ago for historical naming). It does seem to have become blurred since the 60s/70s - perhaps we should resolve it once and for all so that local history/geography doesn't become distorted for future generations of Dawlishians!
