General Discussion
For those who are unhappy with what is being proposed you might find some recourse by way of a Parish Poll . I believe this is what was instigated when the saga of the proposed selling off of the Manor House was on the cards back in 2009/10. To find out more, just type in Parish Poll and hit the search button. Then it's over to you what you do (or not).
I have no strong feelings either way on this matter so when I say what I say below I am not saying it necessarily because I am on the 'we want a playpark on the lawn' team. A referendum was held. People had the choice to vote or not. Of those that voted the majority chose to have a playpark on a certain part of the lawn. The people have spoken. Some people don't like the ...
But the cabinet isn't saying we won't leave the EU. What the agreed line appears to be (and it seems that arch Brexiteers Johnson, Fox and Davies agree with this) is that it is in the country's interests for there to be a softer economic landing by way of leaving the EU completely over a period of time rather than leaving the EU completely on March 29th 2019. If you disagree with that ...
It was entirely up to the UK when Article 50 got triggered. Theresa Mayhem went for March 2017. Twas the UK that started the clock ticking. Tick Tock.
and here are the minutes of the full council meeting held on 6th July last year when the play park issue was debated and voted on http://www.dawlish.gov.uk/edit/uploads/2092_577481209.pdf and these minutes (see below) of the full council meeting held 14th July last year have more info (including why the playpark couldn't be built on the site of the piazza - it would cost too much). ...
I think the cabinet are listening to the voices and concerns of business people and the negative economic impact they (the business people) believe a hard Brexit would have on many in this country. There was no timetable on the ballot paper as far as I remember.
I heard (so its hearsay!) that last year, when this issue was raised at the town council meetings, it was almost as though the issue had been predecided (to have a playpark on the lawn) by certain councillors and that on top of that discussion of this topic in the council chamber was curtailed. From what I heard (again hearsay) there were councillors for and against the project. And the divide, ...
Funny (as in co-incidental) that you should say what you do about the T'mouth playpark and vandalism @JD2017 as I was wondering to myself only yesterday whether or not it (the T'mouth playpark) is subject to vandalism or not. I imagine it would be very easy to find out.
Does anyone know the outcome of last Thursday's F&GP meeting where how to fund the proposed playpark was on the agenda.
Dawlish Town Council's planning committee will be meeting this evening. Amongst the other planning applications on the agenda is this one. https://www.teignbridge.gov.uk/planning/forms/planning-application-details/?Type=Application&Refval=17/01654/MAJ&MN=Y
