The current state of the roads is shocking and dangerous. I simply don't believe the poverty card that the councils keep playing. They seem to fund themselves well enough. #potholes @eastdevon @DevonCC

#Exmouth has been named as the best place to live outside #London by @myldn, citing the second homes and wealthy Londoners moving in. We don't want you here. Stay out of Devon and take your bloody second homes with you.

Between 2019 and 2022, the number of short-term rentals has risen by 10% from 14013 to 15475 across #DEVON. That's 15475 properties, no longer available for local families that lie emptyfor halfthe year, pushing up the house/rent prices. Source: DailyMail.

If they really wanted to maximise land use, they would block constructions of cash-grab estates like the newly built Goodmores, and focus on practical, low cost housing solutions.

The recent coverage by @itvnews on the state of rental properties, highlights the base issue of the housing crisis. Greed from landlords and corporations underpins every fault.

@SkyNews No surprises; the energy market crisis wasn’t connected to any real world increase in costs of supply for the companies, but was a price crisis caused by market speculation and the amplifying effect of algorithms. It’s a rigged casino system where the punter always loses.

Big corporations profiteering off of working people tryingto make a living. It's about time people took to the streets and did something. The Poll Tax riots spring to mind. #CostOfLivingCrisis #GasPrice #britishgas @centricaplc @BritishGas

That's because it's treated as the country's retirement home. About time there was investment in infrastructure and working people. #devon #local

Fantastic video about #wildcamping and the #righttoroam On #dartmoor. Some very good points made about the true interests of Alex Darwell and @AnthonyMangnal1 and how money plays its part in laws that govern the common people. . youtu.be/vmPIg7wY0Uk

This latest endeavour by @eastdevon is purely to facilitate and justify the building of more houses on the Green Wedge. About time they stopped with the cloaks and daggers. #Devon #housing eastdevon.gov.uk/news/2023/01/1…

Good. Time for Devon to do the same. I'd say even triple the rate. #secondhome #Devon @BBCSpotlight

Today we have sent an open letter to the National Park Authority calling on them to vigorously appeal the disappointing wild camping judgement.

Dartmoor was the only National Park in England where wild camping was legal – until today, when a banker called #AlexanderDarwall, who bought an estate 10 yrs ago with his hedge fund profits, overturned that right with help from barrister Tim Morshead KC...

If you shop at @dartsfarm you're a ponce.

Disgusting that a city roach can take away nature from the common people #RightToRoam #Dartmoor

Outside the Royal Courts of Justice to defend wild camping with ⁦@Right_2Roam⁩ & ⁦@EveryonesStars⁩! Wealthy landowner Alexander Darwall is trying to extinguish our legal right to wild camp on Dartmoor. We say NO!

This decision is a huge step backward for the right of everyone to access nature 😠 We support the long-established precedent of wild camping across #Dartmoor Commons & we’ll fight with @dartmoornpa to defend our rights of access & overturn this result. theguardian.com/environment/20…

We need to look after our own before others. #Homeless
