General Discussion
The discussion section has always shown posts from all the groups you are following by default. When someone signs up, it automatically makes you a follower of General Discussion, News and Notices. You can join other groups, although not many people post on them now. An old example is Cooking with Tallyrand . This is just the way the site works. The only thing that has recently changed, ...
@Webmaster . No problem. You’re welcome. But I don’t think you understand the points I’m making. I don’t know if you’ve noticed but news items posted by Dawlish News (which is mostly the Mid Devon Advertiser/Dawlish Gazette as there are always links to their online papers) often don’t receive any comments at all. These posts don’t have the effect of stimulating debate. And I doubt any ...
Thanks for the feedback @Teign. News and notices have always appeared on the discussion forum so users can discuss them. You can click on ' General ' to filter them out. Prior to now, there haven't been any notices for about 10 years! Most users stopped posting events after Covid, and so a change was recently made to encourage users to start positng them again. Part of this was to ...
Why is the Discussion section being treated as if it were a general noticeboard? There are separate sections for News, Events, Notices, etc. And very useful and informative they are too. But why are News, Events, Notices posts also in the Discussion section? If I want to see what's in the local News, Events, Notices I can click on the relevant section. By all means post ...
@Carer I don't really expect any Lib Dem Councillors or voters/supporters to comment. But it is worthwhile bringing attention to the fact that won't ever engage in debate about their severley suspect administration in Teignbridge District Council and highlighting their many failings. Whether in Council Chambers where they deny opposition motions or with the public in person or online. There are ...
Why does it take a petition which was started by a Councillor to try to get any action? What does it say about our Councils and Councillors that they have to resort to a petition? It's all very last resort isn't it. Don't people know that Mayor Rosie Dawson who started the petition as well as being a Dawlish Councillor is a Teignbridge District Councillor too? She is a Lib Dem ...
ALMOST 300 people have signed a petition calling for the reinstatement of a well-used Dawlish bridge after it was completely removed with little warning. Read more... https://www.dawlish-today.co.uk/news/petition-aims-to-bridge-the-gap-667778
Lib Dem's. Don't expect too much from them on here as they are far too busy 'sitting on the fence'.
@1263 Agreed they're all just establishment 'yes' men and 'yes' women, mainly men of a certain age bracket, class and dominated by their own egos. I'm all for Independents, but not the likes of Independent Voices for Dawlish (at least the 2023 version) who were basically organized by two disaffected Lib Dems and offered nothing different to the Lib Dems and Tories.
@1263 Wrigley has started campaigning early. He moved to Cockwood in the late 90s with his now ex-wife and rude children. He's originally from the Bath area or nowhere at all perhaps being from a Navy family which moved around a lot. At one point he wanted Cockwood to break away from Dawlish and create a separate Parish Council. Most likely to control planning in the village and prevent ...
