The world does not stand still does it? I bet some people bemoaned the coming of the railways 150 odd years ago. Others saw it as progress.

Yes, I agree The Strand would give it much more publicity by the mere fact that so many more people go there than Park Road. And yes, I think it is very nice. What Dawlish needs.

A bit pompous don't you think, that message on the website? Please ask yourselves this question. When that document goes public will it be for public information (ie it will have already been decided what is going to happen) or for public consultation (ie it is still open for grabs what is going to happen).
