Barrie also forgets to mention ‘mistakes’ made by his party while running the council. £5 million lost on sorting out failed privatisation of waste collection and £0.5m wasted on an aborted supermarket project, to name a couple
They can’t just blame Westminster for incompetence.

@BenCooper86 Shocking that a town the size of Dartmouth has no bank left. Not everyone is comfortable with digital banking - or able to manage it.
Digital exclusion is a real concern.

@julie27716630 @alex4peneast Wooden spoon or spatula - saves my knuckles and is the only way to do those spring-loaded ones with brushes!

Best quote yet from a @Conservatives election leaflet:

"Please don't punish your local Conservatives for the mistakes made in Westminster."

Seems he didn't get the memo about why you belong to a political party - others are available...

Excellent news - @dartmoornpa has voted to appeal High Court ruling restricting the right to wild camp on the moor.
Permissive access is too fragile. Everyone should have a right to enjoy the UK's wilderness responsibly.

We had rain, wind and hail today. But it was good to get out in support of Simon Rake, our candidate for #Blackawton and #Stoke Fleming. Can’t wait for ⁦@SouthHams_DC⁩ to change hands, so we can get to work for the South Hams.

The idiocy of #Brexit laid bare!
Shame on @HMRevenue for this ridiculous decision that has killed off a heritage business that has survived for 200 years.
This decision has to be reversed.

@LibDems can we campaign for reversal?

ONE fine for sewage leaks by @Ofwat in 30 years - and this is the map of the South Devon coast today after yesterday’s rain. @SouthWestWater must do better but regulation clearly failing.
RT @Feargal_Sharkey: "More chance of being struck by lightning: Ofwat reveals just one fine for sewage leaks in nearly 30 years."

Yes, you've got a greater chance of being struck by lighting rather than being fined by @Ofwat

@williamnhutton @FT What do we gain from this petty mentality? Nothing.
Language schools closing - including in our town - and a big hit on the sector that provided for school trips. A little England mindset that is not needed and an insult to our EU neighbours.
We will change this

And while we're told they are working on the problem, South West Water boss Susan Davy was rewarded with £1.5 million last year in salary, bonus and benefits.
How can this be justified when our water systems are crying out for investment?
