General Discussion
When I logged on this morning I found myself in receipt of a roundrobin email asking me to sign the petition FOR their being a playpark on the lawn. Here's how I responded: "How can it possibly compete with what is on offer at T'mouth when the latest version is, I'd say, at least half the size of what is on offer at T'mouth. T'mouth playpark is also for up to 16 year olds. The one ...
This is an extract from the town centre manager's report to the Civic Amenities Committee meeting held in June 2016. (my emphasis in bold) Many members of the public and traders have asked for a play park in Dawlish on a similar scale to Teignmouth . Currently Dawlish residents travel to Teignmouth to use their play park, which is used extensively all year round to the benefit of ...

Yes I've heard the same thing (about the Clerk having resigned - there was a Part II (ie in private) discussion about staff vacancies at the last town council meeting. ) http://dawlish.com/thread/details/45786 Although I've also heard that she is retiring. But same outcome.
@majorp - Yes, I forgot to say that I also noticed the large number of car parking spaces not only on the road but also at The Point car park.
I notice there is no correspondence from the town council in today's Gazette in response to the letter in last week's paper querying the figures that had been (still are being) banded about by some concerning last year's consultation.
I had to go over to T'mouth this morning so thought I'd pay their playpark a visit. Yes, I agree, it has lots of nice play equipment including a water fountain area. Very attractive. It is, however, I should guess at least the size of the area behind the bandstand on the lawn in Dawlish. It might even be a bit bigger. Point is, that what is now on offer in Dawlish is only half the ...
See today's Gazette and see below the wording of the petition FOR there to be a playpark on the lawn. Note its claims, amongst other things, about 77% of Dawlish residents, the size of the playground that should be built, and the claim that such a playground would add to the town centre economy. "The Lawn in Dawlish IS the place for a new play-park in the town centre. The Lawn is a ...
To return to the topic of this thread - the country side park. It has been suggested to me that great as it presently is, it could be even better if some outside exercise equipment were to be put on it. I thought to put that idea on here. http://www.freshairfitness.co.uk/our-products
Okay, so, let's just say, for the sake of argument, that a consensus is now emerging amongst those of us who post on, and read this website, that the proposed playpark is such that it would not act as a draw to entice others into the town from the likes of T'mouth and Paignton. But what it might do, arguably, is stop Dawlish residents taking their (grand)children to the playpark in ...
