The bridge over Shutterton Brook was granted planning permission by TDC a few months back. As I said above, DCC is involved in the building of the bridge plus a bit of the road either side. I understand that the meeting referred to in the first post on this thread was concerned with DCC giving approval for the bridge works to be put out to tender.
To quote the king: "Dear, oh dear" Yep! Everything is oh so much dearer now.
This link road has been at least 7 years in the making. And it still ain't built yet! I have just watched the podcast and looked at some of the documents concerning what was agreed at the DCC cabinet meeting (see post above). As DCC is the Highway Authority it seems that it was just giving its approval for the road to be built (I should *!*!* ! well hope so!). DCC is involved in the ...
No idea. BUT...... the more GPs that go private then logically the fewer there will be working in the NHS = longer waiting times to see a NHS GP.

There are diggers presently doing work of some kind on the Gatehouse development site

I also know people who are keeping money to one side just in case they need a hip or knee replacement or some such similar operation and can get it done in a matter of weeks/months privately rather than wait years to have it done on the NHS. They wouldn't normally dream of going private (I know them well) but when you are in pain......... Privatisation of our health service by stealth perhaps? ...
Happened to be in Exminster this lunchtime. Thought at first that I was hallucinating. Then realised I wasn't. Two, yes two, number 2 buses travelling towards Newton Abbot were travelling through immediately one behind the other! Did both leave Exeter bus station at around the same time?! I left Exminster in a car a little while later. One of the buses was whiling away time in a bus stop in ...
