“A third harbour is a great idea to try and get some wealth back into Torquay. However we will probably just end up with another hostel or rehab centre and bring in the kind of people who contribute nothing to Torbay.”

“Anything that can regenerate the bay has to be looked at in a POSITIVE way, sitting at a p.c. waiting to stamp on every suggestion seems to be the norm sadly. Budgets are not infinite and due to the ever increasing burden of housing benefit councils have to shell out to support massive rental costs( remember council houses ? ) as the buy-to-let profiteers march on plundering our pockets and robbing the community of the funds to do vital works. The system needs a major overhaul and quick.”

“Imagine the cruise ships stuck on the sandbars.The last road resurfaced was at Torre to Shipey Lane and they actually used tar and stones,that will last a long time.It was a nightmare on a motorcycle for at least two weeks.Perhaps they can use that asphalt wash they use on paths for the next one,probably last at least six months.”

“Its not Gordon Oliver, or the Council's fault that modern public financing is based on the notion of snatching loads of money off taxpayers and then condescending to hand it back as grants for capital project, with conditions. That what the EU is all about. Oliver wants to get our fair share of these grants and good luck to him. But this style of public financing contributes nothing for day to day maintenance which is not eligible for grants, so we end up with loads of potholes in the road et al.”

“What Wally put a cycle lane down the middle,yes middle,of Torquay highstreet.Because of cars parked on the right the bus was in it all the way.Looks like squashed cyclists roadkill this coming summer.0 out of 10 Torbay council.”
