The Worst Things in Shaldon, Devon*

The entirely missable and worth mentioning because of it

You can tell us more about Shaldon.

• George's fish and chips closed again Nov 2010 for 'annual redecoration'
• The dreary dirty brickwork of St Peter's Church which spoils all first impressions as you travel along the magical bridge from Teignmouth. Can't someone spray clean it and brighten it up?
• FBI
• Parking - or rather the lack of it.
• Parking - something has got to be done about it. If we had our own traffic warden we could pay him/her out of the fines and still make a handsome profit.
• There are not enough parking spaces
• The Conservative Club
• The toss pots who vandalised some of the Scarecrows - why !!!! if they had a brain they would not do it but as they don't they can't explain why they do !! Why has the ferry price gone up to £1.20 - at the average journey time of 30 seconds it means an hourly rate of £144.00.
• The Beachcomber's decision to close in the evening.
• The Brigantine. What a beautiful location to be wasted on this place. Limited sailing due to strong tidal current.
• Parking in Shaldon is a nightmare - we need a full time Traffic Warden who could be self funding.
• It is 2001 and the Conservative Club is still a shambles. Give the bar to Mick Wiggins then sack the intransigents on the Committee and breathe life into the Club.
• The car parking situation - what are double yellow lines for ?? The Ferryboat Inn.
• Alan Mitchell is retiring as our local Butcher - OK he was expensive but the stuff he sold was top class. Hope the new guy is as good.
• the jewellers. the chippie
• Petty illiterate people who clearly need to get a life rather than rain abuse on the innocent - let's hope you never get old!
• The Wait is now on to see what crap Midas will come up with next!
• MIDAS Homes !!!
• Strolling about shaldon when you are on holiday when there is nothing to do so you have to go to coast view holiday park to pass the time
• The Conservative Club Committee.
• Jack, who sells his best veg to Hotels; and sells the locals the crap stuff
• The Astbury puppets on the Parish Council - Cardin, Watts, and Lord
• Asley Manhire's decision to turn down the Lottery Grant
• The arrogant clique of snobs wanting to take over Shaldon.
• The Shaldon and Ringmore Hall needs loads of money spent on it, otherwise it will be sold off and lost forever.
• Teignbridge planners decision to recommend the Midas plans for approval. Do they know what they are doing???
• Dog owners who let their dogs foul the beaches and streets of Shaldon without picking it up, especially along the Riverside. People who drive far too fast through the narrow streets of Shaldon.
• The Astbury's, James Cardin, Ivor Watts, Joan Lord for their crap decisions.
• The people and Brigintine
• Too much drinking. Old people.
