MDDC just the same. Could not park anywhere in Crediton today. Public car parks all snowbound and no effort at all being made to clear them. Must be bad for the small local businesses as Tesco car park cleared and full up.

Maybe the Big Society should clear up the snow, Alistair2000.

Nowhere to put the snow as far as I could see. The snowploughs have been up and down dozens of times, piling it onto the kerb, but what else can they do? Ease of transit must take precidence over on-street parking surely.

Incidentally, it was nice to see the residents of Crediton High St out clearing the pavements outside their own houses on Monday. Everybody did their own patch.

When popular and erstwhile Exewebbers choose to ditch their username and replace it with something else without letting on.

The big car park up behind the High Street could have been cleared in a couple of hours with a snowplough. Plenty of room to pile it up at one end losing just a few spaces. I agree on the priorities but there was no sign of any work being done anywhere by the Authorities.

Oh and people who don't like The Smiths. The group with Morrisey as the singer, of course.
People who claim to like The Smiths, but cannot spell Morrissey's name correctly.
