The chamber mailing list all got sent details of what was being proposed by the councils with an opportunity to give feedback. I'm no longer a member but I still got it. if the councils chose not to consult residents in that area then that's a poor show but it's not the chamber's fault. (I will admit I haven't looked at Facebook) david is stepping down after three excellent years as chair, ...

Ah well I was told wrong then. Usual Dawlish gossip accuracy! Many things that have been said by and about carnival have been interesting in recent years, I shall watch with baited breath to see how things progress this year....

@User 4549 , i was told that they are no longer a public interest company, no idea if that is right but if it is then they probably don't need to publish reports or accounts again!

The information on these men is great, really interesting. I agree with Huw, blue plaques is the least they deserve, Dawlish should be proud, there can't be many towns of our size with so many connections to VC's.

Sorry but it reads likes a carefully crafted piece of propaganda. I'm not saying that there aren't women in similar situations but to imply that all people claiming benefit are purely victims of their situation/circumstances isn't accurate. and yes, I know what it's like struggling, my parents had very little, my mum went hungry to feed us kids.  My dad worked all hours doing two jobs to ...

Not all claimants are victims ...

@neil, the history of cooperative societies was based in mutual welfare and benefit to all.  Although they still support many local initiatives they are big business the same as any other. coop bank told my dad when he queried why their isa rates are so low 'we're so big we're buying lloyds bank so we don't need your money.' I've known several Coop staff off work with depression related ...
