Perhaps we should send the politicians to prison so they can explain to the prisoners their decision in person?

With the risk of stating the obvious . . . Unfortunately there are businesses in lots of towns up for sale. There is less money to go round therefore people are managing by buying less, and then there is the rise of internet shopping which is usually cheaper than the shops as the retailer doesn't have to rent/buy premises in many towns, just operate from a central warehouse.

I had a word with the owners today and was told that the council had removed the rubbish bins, (probably to save paying for people to empty them) and ...

I see that the signal box has finally been pulled down. Only noticed it today as I don't use the trains much.

I don't know the circumstances of this accident and I certainly hope that the child is ok and the driver of the vehicle not traumatised. However, in my time in Dawlish, since the council removed the zebra crossing, I have noticed many people, including parents with children crossing the road at or near the point where the old zebra used to be.
