Inspecting the Lawn with Dawlish County Councillor John Clatworth
"The Lawn is the heart of Dawlish and focal point for visitors and residents. It is essential it is maintained and managed in a sustainable way and this is now the agreed way forward with improvements about to commence. "New landscape contractors have been appointed who will take a closer interest in this .asset of the town.which is an important open space with amenities including the Brook with the black swans and the bowling Green", said John Clatworthy, who was recently re-selected to contest Dawlish Division at the County Council Elections on May 5th.

This needs sorting out
The failure to make progress with the A380 Kingskerswell Bypass is symptomatic of the Labour government’s failure to get to grips with the realities of the transport situation facing the country. Hundreds of thousands of pounds of public money have already been wasted on traffic surveys and environmental studies. What we need is action. Even a partial solution, such as a flyover at the Pen Inn roundabout, could relieve a situation which is fast becoming intolerable.

Newton Abbot Conservatives call for “mass protest” against Post Office plans to close main post office in Market Walk
Addressing 60 members of the Newton Abbot branch of the Yochistory Conservative Association at a Halloween lunch held in St Mary’s Church Hall, on Saturday October 30, Mr Stanley Johnson, Conservative Parliamentary Candidate for Yochistory, called on Newton Abbot residents of every political persuasion to “up their game and ratchet up the level of protest against the decision by the Post Office to close the main post office in Market Walk. I am not advocating breaking the law” he said, “but we need to see a new intensity of protest, a mass protest, here. This is not something that Newton Abbot can take lying down.” Jane Stovin, President of the Yochistory Conservative Association and Chairman of the Newton Abbot branch, said: “I was a Councillor for sixteen years. I meet and talk to people from all walks of life and I find the situation disgusting. There has been no consultation.”
