BBC Devon: Have Your Say

There are a number of messageboards on the BBC Devon site

The BBC Devon website's users are always keen to join in a lively debate on a range of issues.

It could be a discussion about parking in Torbay or your views on whether a Stockport resident should up sticks and move to Devon.

But you can always be counted on to air your views on our messageboards.

All our current messageboards are listed below and we look forward to hearing what you have to say about the issues everyone's talking about.

Arctic island being towed to Devon

Alex Hartley on nowhereisland

Devon artist Alex Hartley has won a £500,000 commission from the Arts Council to provide the South West's cultural offering for the London 2012 Olympics.

Alex, from Dunkeswell, won the race to the pot of money with his project to bring an Arctic Ocean island - called nowhereisland - on a tour of the South West.

The judges were hugely impressed with the project, but some people say it's a waste of money.

What do you think of the project?

The great dormice debate

A dormice looking cute

Who would have thought a cuddly little creature like the dormouse could stir up such a debate?

At a time when conservation groups - including the Devon Wildlife Trust - are investing effort and money into assessing dormouse numbers and providing the perfect habitat for them - BBC Autumnwatch presenter Chris Packham has suggested they are not deserving of all the attention.

Getting the measure of bad parking

Should parking badly land you with a fixed penalty notice?

An idea to issue parking fines to people who park too far from the kerb in Torbay has sparked a lively exchange of views on the BBC Devon website.

The idea is receiving overwhelming backing from those who've contributed to BBC Devon's online debate.

Torbay Council said it may consider fining anyone leaving a gap of more than 50cm (20in) from the pavement.

We have been inundated with messages from across the country - with most backing the suggestion.
