General Discussion
Hi Lynne From my experience, that just isn't the way ot works. There has not been a single word from anyone (Politician or Officer) at Teignbridge to exercise any kind of influence on town councillors to keep quiet about Warren Farm. Rather the opposite, we have been left well out of any briefings and are no more informed than anyone else. So, hand on heart there is no question of ...
I think you need to look under the headlines Lynne and question how far each of these NPs has got in practice. For example, Teignmouth Councillor David Cox wrote these comments on Twitter (3 December 2014) "Dawlish Council well ahead on neighbourhood plan - putting Teignmouth Council to shame. #procrastination" and "Abbot'k legal challenge does not seem to have stopped ...
@Lynne Just to ensure we are all at the same point of understanding, these neighbourhood plans are still in the development process. As I understand it, none have been through a referendum yet (Exminster is likely to be the first as it has passed the Independent Examination stage). Dawlish has already had one Independent Examination, and was rejected because it had been produced before ...
Please everyone, this is going too far. That was an old message from Carer and since then he has written many polite and encouraging messages to me. You all know that Robert Vickery and I are partners, and I am more than happy to think that Carer's opinions have changed over the past couple of years. I do think that queer is an ugly word best consigned to history, whether intended ...
Welcome to Dawlish Paul there are various literary groups in town, if you google the open daw centre and find the contact details, their co-ordinator Angie runs a poetry group When in Dawlish, pop into the Manor House Community Centre. There is a regular book group loads of other activities in town, no excuse to be bored!
To be fair, I think all Dawlish councillors are concerned by this situation, and I doubt I am the only person asking pointed questions.
I think it worth adding to Robert's comments that this report was considered by the Town Council in March 2012 and was supported by all councillors present (Including Margaret Swift). It required us to fill in a lot of gaps about what TDC intended with a Coastal Park. Unfortunately, nearly three years on those gaps are largely unfilled. Hence Robert's criticism of the failure of TDC to invest ...
In all fairness Margaret, you should also have said that when we have had additional evening meetings, you've complained about these I totally get that your work commitments impact on your ability to attend meetings, and I've never criticised you for that. Nor do I criticise others who can't attend for other reasons. We are all people with busy lives, doing our best. I do think it ...
How we set the Budget for Dawlish Town Council In May, the committees of the council were appointed. There is a particular sub-committee that deals with the early detail of the budget, simple grunt work such as looking back over the past experience of the year to see how much we need to spend on on current commitments and looking ahead to understand what new costs need to be provided for. ...
The budget setting meeting is at 7pm on February 5th. The timing of meetings is increasingly a complex issue as work patterns change. Margaret has described her own problems in attending evening meetings due to working away. Some of our other colleagues have employment that stretches into evening shifts. Other colleagues have Carer responsibilities that are even harder to adjust ...
