The Indie publishes it's Happy List today In the style of the "Rich List" it celebrates 100 people who make life better for others This year it rightly includes Dawlish's own Caz Steffens.
@Lynne The rules of the Funding Scheme we are applying to state that we have to apply for Full Planning Approval at this stage. The council has done this, but is 100% determined that nothing will be done that is contrary to the wishes of the Dawlish public. We know that the consultation will provide many individual opinions, and there is no single scheme design that will please ...
The basketball area is an option, that could or may not be included in any final version of the scheme Assuming of course, we win any funding from CCF, and we expect there to be tough competition in this final round. It was mentioned in earlier posts that it is vital to include the younger population in the forthcoming consultation. This to my mind is vital. Do they want a basketball ...
Yes - our County Councillor will also be there. Sorry, should have made that clear

Obviously we are keeping tabs on this to ...

This is not a scheduled visit but as the countrywide tour has been blessed with good weather they are able to fit us into the schedule as requested by John Millin. It is intended that the replica ...
We have a busy weekend coming up on the Lawn, with events appealing (hopefully and weather permitting) to all ages Saturday is very much a traditional family day with children's entertainments such as Punch and Judy; and a street market. They fit very well to the traditional Victorian bandstand model. Sunday is a totally different kettle of fish with Party in the Park. A day of ...
@ALLEMS I understand your question, and the answer lies in the timing of the Coastal Communities Fund. It was suddenly announced in March that there would be an application round. Further that this would be the final round ever. The Secretary of State went further and said that priority would be given to storm hit towns. For Dawlish, it was too good an opportunity to pass by. BUT ...
It's a genuinely interesting question Carer as to whether the play park in Manor Park is little used. If that is the case, why? There is the small play park up near Third Avenue, but other than that nothing in the town centre. Do children not use play parks any more?
