Its all about location and how we can get people in our town and staying within when the do arrive. A play park straight of the beach instead of on the Lawn would boost massively. Kids would be screaming before they go on the beach and after they come of it that they want to go in the park, parents will give in and stay within the town longer. Surely this is what we want! Then when the ...
@michaelclayson seeing the picture of the manor before the playpark was there and looking back at the history in pictures when the manor had big iron gates and was a proper park with gardens and a pond etc, it was much more attractive that we see today, it would be lovely to restore that. Dawlish has too many play parks in fairness, in fact my kids always used the Newlands ones opposed to the ...
@Robert Vickery dawlish as you will know is reknowned and has a few items throughout the year that without would kill of our town alltogether. by taking up more room with a play park on the lawn these few events that work incredibly hard will loose out and will no longer be able to be accommodated on the lawn, this will be extremely sad. on another note a water feature/play park on tucks plot ...
I must say though I think that Tucks Plot and the crazy golf is quite crazily a waste of a plot and should be tucked away. Surely would an idea not be to pedestrianize Tucks Plot and then have the play park where the crazy golf is currently. meaning that kids are safe from the roads and that parents can come straight off the beach and are persauded to stay in our town longer by their kids wanting ...
@Robert Vickery The joys of never remembering passwords, thank goodness for my little notebook with them all written down, even though they don't always work then! It's a shame that a public exhibition can't take place just yet, but it also good to know that in June it should be decided then and that we as public will be able to look in details and definition what we could see upon our lawn. ...
You know they have been there so long I drove by just now and didn't even notice they were gone.
@Margaret Swift i don't see anyone actually saying you did not support it. and it appears to view that you clearly do support it, which is great. you might think the above design is not correct for what this town needs. as well as i agree with @Chris that places like the "molly macs" are just as worse in need of re-development and some areas that have been modernised do clearly look out of ...
@Margaret Swift - ms swift or mrs swift whichever it may be. to who i am should not matter, for i am a person with a care, a passion and an opinion. like you are too. i am someone who takes my passion and interest and looks at a wide picture and hold an opinion without becoming opinionated. i like 90% of the people on dawlish.com choose that people do not need to know who i am for me to be able ...
It goes without saying, in the year 2000 we were promised a glass bandstand in replace of the old one. It never happened and people got on their high horses moaning, and people to this day still moan about the millennium bandstand never coming to light. This town is forever changing, the lawn will be the only bit of land we have left in a minute that has not got houses on it! We must learn to ...
@Andyasport is quite right, there is too much poo, it does not mean that you should not like the area or not visit Dawlish, because it's a lovely place to come and visit. And I'm sure most visitors will understand that dog mess is of a problem everywhere. I would say if any body can come up with some fantastic ideas to send them to our Council. I know that in Jersey they set up teams of ...
