Welcome to my blog.†

My name is Joan Lambert, Teignbridge District Councillor and Kingsteignton Town Councillor. I am the Member for Kingsteignton West Ward in South Devon, which comprises the Parishes of Kingsteignton West and Teigngrace.

My committee membership within the District Council includes the Overview & Scrutiny and Development Control Committees and the Health and Safety Forum.

My responsibilities within the Parish Council include Works & Services/Planning and Finance. I have been School Governor of Rydon Primary School, Kingsteignton, since 1990.

The purpose of this site is to try and keep you informed about my role and provide you with information about developments in Teignbridge District Council and our local Ward Kingsteignton West.

I will clarify my responsibilities in future blogs...

Respect

What is the difference?

 

I am talking about the young man in the wheel chair and the drunken lout, the young man in the chair has the dignity not to retaliate, his mother and sister had to see first hand what it will be like for him in the years to come.

This man has more guts and determination to get up and walk with his new legs, and that  is the hardest thing any amputee has to do, the pain and agony these men and women have to endure I hope you never have to go through.

The desecration of the War memorial by the young man beggars belief, what is it that they have to go out and get intoxicated out of their minds, you hear that they are so hard up so where do they get the money from.

Perhaps we should not give out money in benefits but vouchers that can not be exchanged for alcohol only for food and housing.

I think next year will see a wake up call to a lot of people when they find that there is no money to go round.

 

What is your view at the TA will have to pay for training and kit, what an asinine idea.  The person who has said this must be taken out to the war zone and not coddled but go out and face the Taliban,  having said that it might cause us more casualties.

 

Remember a while back I said about the price hike in utility bills well we have it, I say to elderly people please do not cut down on heating and hot meals.

It is more cost effective to keep you all well and not ill or in hospital.

 

Would it be possible to have our money back, I see that the bankers are being paid massive bonuses, so why not give us back our money, or are I too simplistic.
