Sustrans are bidding for money to complete the cycle trail into Dawlish and work with local people to put heritage interpretation into locations such as the Strand Centre.

@BB Just to report back as promised We were told last night at Council that work started on site yesterday. I asked your question about the gender of the remaining swans. I was told that one has begun building a nest, checks will be made to see if additional females are required.

Given that he lives in Bovey Tracey, I can understand that he may not have been in Dawlish and seen the problems first hand, so it's good that Flo has stimulated this investigation.
