General Discussion

This is from a previous thread. Very interesting.

I have clipped this from a previous thread, as i believe our local journalist, Tom Scobie, is not representing us as he promised.

Mr Scobie's manifesto includes his "intention to ensure that, with the active engagement of our readers, the Gazette not only reflects the community but serves it with renewed vigour" and "looking forward to hearing from people with every shade of opinion and to covering the news stories which are important to them".

If this is the case, then why has he not been investigating the issues regarding Dawlish Town Council/John Anthony and the scandalous alteration of our Youth Centre to a Multi-use drug offender Centre? Real journalists have their ears to the ground and do not need prompting from the people they serve, to investigate the big issues.

What is your excuse Mr Scobie?


Why is this drastic change to our Town not treated as important by our local papers? The debate should be ever-present....yet our press treat it as a 'done and dusted' matter. Something smells very fishy....and it's not the sea air.
