We need to be rid of district councils like Teignbridge. They are an unessessary level of local authority that the tax payer cannot afford. The town council should have local responsibility reporting directly to the county council. As for cllr Wrigley the party he stands for isent important his only goal is to become our MP ousting Anne Marie Morris in reality he would be better placed standing as ...

So during the towns busiest time, the weekend when the kids are off school and the holiday makers swap over the unit is closed. Also why is it an appointment based service now and how do you make an appointment. The managers that make these decisions seriously need to have their jobs removed on the basis of total incompetance.

There needs to be a public enquiry into how and why all this land is becoming available to developers and who is benefiting from its acquisition. Also when are these developers going to be forced to pay section 106 compensation to residents like on Secmanton Lane who's properties have been devalued by tens of thousands of pounds

Here's a good idea. Dont build a road but make access to any new housing developments restricted to a cycle path only. Oh and make sure the path is made of a suitable material for road bikes, has a 5 mph speed limit, and is just wide enough to give pedestrians 1.5 metres of passing room. That should keep all the minority groups happy.

Nicely designed attempt to hide the enterance and true identity of Langdon hospital/prison from potential new house buyers. Wasent the original planning concept for this site that the Butler unit had to be retained and coverted into a community faciity with preferance towards a care home. The proposed home would definatly be an asset to the town whillst he rest of the proposed new build wood huts ...

Why didnt TDC block off the gate when the first two arrived on Thursday. Total incompetence from an unfit for purpose authority

Does anyone on here know what to do with unwanted DVDs and Books all a bit dusty and yellowing. Dont mean just a few so please dont say put in re-cycling. I mean hundreds, box fulls. Just need gone if anybody wants them your welcome to pick them up. They are dry at the moment. Thanks

@Lynne You might also ask why a town the size of Dawlish needs another 350 houses is this really a local need. This planning should never have got the go ahead. Who is going to provide the additional infrastructure for over a thousand people and maybe another 700 cars. We have a crap bus service, no dentists, no spare GP capacity, chemists cant cope, sometimes it takes over 15 minutes to get out ...

It really dosent matter about providing them with designated sites. What matters is making them obey the law wherever they are. If they drive untaxed, uninsured vehicles on the roads, commit criminal danage and trespass, steal property and goods, flytip and participate in anti-social behaviour then they should be dealt with as would anybody else. Not just allowed to move onto the next place and ...

Such a sorry state of affairs and condolences to the families affected. However we as tax paying public need answers not excuses. So when is the A & E and ambulance situation going to be resolved. If the CEOs of both Exeter and Torbay trusts cannot answer such a simple question then they need to resign with immediate effect and if they dont then the governors of the trusts need to sack them.

Doctor attended late mother in law at 10.15 am. He rang and ordered an ambulance to urgently transport her to Dawlish hospital from Sainsburys end of town. It eventually arrived at  9.45 pm almost 12 hours. No excuses this is totally unacceptable and borders on being unfit for purpose.

Career politician and people just keep voting for them. The libdems are like covid they just wont go away even though they havent got a clue.

At a guess I would say DCC just dont want to set a presedence for fear of being inundated by similar requests.

"Teignbridge scam park".   They know they are going to build houses on it eventually

Can somebody supply Carer with an isolation tent then he wont have to risk being part of the human race anymore. What a dribble this non-human is

!000 Local people currently living in Bristol and Birmingham who cant afford to buy and cant rent without housing and council tax benifits. How about building some high cost luxury homes for London business owners looking for a move from the city. You know the ones that bring more to the community than fartherless kids, like investment money employment oppertunities and much more.  Just a thought

To the pair of total cockwombles stood on the grass verge at St Mary's cottages pointing a speed gun at motorists. Are you aware that if you cause an accident by distracting drivers with your stupid vigilante activity you will be held personally responsible. How do you consider you are aiding the community by reporting your fellow locals to the police for minding their own business and just ...

Will the selling agents of the Langdon site tell their clients the truth about Langdon Hospital actually being a prison for some of the worst convicted mentally ill psychopaths in the country.

The total idiots at Devon County Council who think the planets natural evolution is a climate emergency, are the same bunch of  loonies that think cycling in order to get arouund is progress. We are paying their wages therefore we should have a say as to when they should be sacked. We have the Met office in Exeter and they cant even predict next weeks weather so how do a hand full of snowflakes at ...

What has it got to do with Teignbridge council. When we questioned planning at one of the consultation meetings we were told that Network Rail dont have to get local planning consent as they have blanket coverage from central government to pretty much do what they like on their own property. What you mean is TDC decided to stick their hooter in, waste more council taxpayers money and no doubt had ...

They should have bought the land by Langdon if they were serious. Would have been better than a load more poor quality wood huts with prices our local youngsters will never be able to afford

@Carer As posted earlier it dosent worry me either way. I have a great fun filled life with a large loving caring family and a massive circle of freinds, customers and colleages not only here in Devon but over in Germany, Sweden, Demark and Spain. Im lucky I suppose in lots of ways educated, debt free, property and business owner with money in the bank. Basically Im pretty free to do as I please ...

200 of which will be landing at Heathrow alone. Add to that the other airports still operating plus the sea ferry ports and we have if the figures are correct 15,000 people arriving here posibly unchecked every day. Meanwhile the majority of BAs aircraft and others are all grounded at Bournemouth and other regional airfields. Same goes for the dozen or so £20 billion pound cruise ships parked in ...

When I worked for Hiremasters we used to deal with Network Rail, and the access to the beach via the shell cove house site we understood was controlled by the said Network rail. Not once did anyone on the House site question our parking of delivery lorries in the grounds or the Network Rail staff that used to come and collect the equipment from us via the wooden walk way.

Just read an interesting scientific report regarding the American vaccine that requires two injections. If having the first jab you MUST have the second within 21 days. So the government are saying that due to demand the second jab may take upto 12 weeks before being called up. This makes the whole process a complete waste of time and money as the time delay exceeding the 21days means the first ...

Governments have been discussing Global Ecconomic Re-alliegnment behind closed doors for years now, prior to the forth coming oil crisis. The Covid virus was being developed in Chinese laboratories financed by the World health Organisation in readiness as a way of controlling each counties populations should things have started to get out of hand. Unfortunatly an unready sample of the virus ...

Due to its proximity to Langdon prison (hospital) and non-requirement for local people plus the no doubt wood hut cheap and nasty over crowded construction thus forming a modern slum how about Criminal Close Mental Way Hide the truth Avenue Another dump road Single parent drive Asbo lane

After brexit is finalised we need to fly the flag loud and proud to promote what makes Britain great. The plane looks great and is worth every penny of its paint job. Lynne give your head a wobble

If people in this country would have listened to Enoch Powel and acted on his warnings accordingly we wouldnt be having issues relating to BLM and whats racist or not. Its to late to stop the invasion now the future of the county is looking pretty grim at the moment and is on the way to becoming a bankrupt third world shit hole.

The Dawlish Warren event wasent illegal so people need to get their facts right. It was held on private not public land and was attended by invitation only. Its an annual event that locals are well aware of. Those holiday makers who complain about it know where the M5 is so use it and go home

Brilliant event managed to believe we were back in the real world for an hour. Of course the odd few sheeples tried to spoil it by wondering around with their stupid looking face masks on. Far better than the Dawlish Warren rip off on Thursday afternoons. Come on Powderham lets make it a regular thing

Network Rail are only trying to pull the wool over the publics eyes by asking local and district councils for planning consent. They dont need it, its just a publicity exercise. They are financed and planning approved by national government they can basically do what they want with Dawlish station and the sea wall and this right dosent just apply to Dawlish. We have a traditional old and lovely ...

Have said all along that the people are being led. The media have once again abused their power by using the fear factor of their reporting in order to control the public. In addition the government spouting about it being law to do this and law not to do that again is just a load of crap. Anyone with half a brain would know the proceedure for adopting a new law in this country and the length of ...

They should be facing massive penalty clause payments which should be paid directly to Teignbridge and the money used to reduce our council tax bills. No excuses they certainly cant blame bad weather. In a few years time no doubt we will be noticing the other cost cuts they have made when the new concrete panels get cancer and start breaking up due to being made from cheap and nasty materials.

On private land so not illegal as for holiday makers complaining, you come down here increasing the risk of spreading covid19 to an area that has so far had one of the lowest number of outbreaks and now you complain about locals having a one off party. How about you just go home you misserable bunch.

Has anybody seen a copy of the official Traffic Order granted by the dept of transport that DCC have a legal requirement to obtain before instigating these restrictions. I very much doubt they have applied for and been granted such, in which case the restrictions are unenforceable and the signage is just another waste of tax payers money. No doubt the idiot Stuart Huges is behind this.

The main reason for the five month delay in forcing the face coverings is that in March there was no available stock of masks in the country. Since then the government have bulk ordered £millions of pounds worth of masks from China knowing full well they are cheap and nasty replica's of British Standard products and that they will not offer any form of protection. However having now distributed ...

@Carer Absolute bullshit for one Im not Chinese so you cant blame me for it  and for another I dont really give a toss what you think. If your prepared to follow like a good little sheep thats your choice but dont try blaming those who are prepared to use their brains and think for themselves about something created as an act of biological warfare by a communist country, who's goal is to ...

@1263 Totally agree the whole covid 19 shit is a complete bore. However they will have plenty to moan about this time next year when the true outcome of all this becomes clear. Four million unemployed, unbelievable tax and goods price rises, food shortages, many many businesses shut down, not to mention the thousands that will die as a result of not getting routine surgery or cancer treatment. ...

The photos posted on facebook clearly showing the difference if any between the new and old wall against a medium high tide driven by an easterly wind certainly are not indicating £30 million pounds of improvement. The water is still topping the new wall onto the railway line and Marine parade.
