General Discussion
Biased and prejudiced against what - grumpiness? Anyway, thank goodness you're here to set the record straight and save us from those councillors who obviously don't want the best for Dawlish.
@Margaret, I'm surprised you're surprised. It's a big gripe for Dawlish retailers that business rates are disproportionately higher than in Teignmouth and it has a hugely detrimental impact on the Dawlish economy. Perhaps the Town Council could investigate further and lobby TDC about it. Alternatively we could just settle for another charity shop.
If the bid to CCF went to Stage 2 and was eventually successful, could the plans be amended to take account of the submitted survey forms? For example, if the pavilion was not wanted but a new bandstand was, could the funds still be used for a bandstand and the surplus given back to CCF or is it all or nothing?
I think we all know it was a wry dig at Burneside not a manifesto for Dawlish, don't we? What perplexes me more is why you would use it to promote your ongoing feud with a fellow councillor. It degrades Dawlish.
Exercise equipment is a bit old hat, it was done on the continent years ago. The novelty would quickly wear off and it'd soon become another white elephant. If people want to exercise in public places they could be out doing Tai Chi on the Lawn.
Thanks, Webmaster, have emailed it. These two links are interesting. A 'masterplan' by Dawlish Community Trust from 2008. Haven't read it yet but see page 53 for plans for the Lawn then. Also a history of the Lawn - I'd like the 1906 bandstand back please! http://www.dawlishhistory.org.uk/articles/newsletters/Newsletter2011Jul.pdf ...
Webmaster, how could I attach a PDF so that anyone and everyone can see this document?
No Fred, I wouldn't overlook that given I don't like the look of the plans. It doesn't detail any restrictive covenants, it refers to rights assigned. Where did you get the information about building restrictions? Happy to email it if you would like to see it, but as mentioned anyone can get it for £6. Even so, I thought your point was that TDC is not the registered owner?
Great to see they'll get some use this summer, back in February I thought that might not be on the cards.
I wasn't suggesting that you and Annother46 are one and the same, I was struck by how your own threads indicate bad blood between the Pirates Chest and Rock Pool Cafe. It was never alluded to on this forum so if your intention was to defend your friends against gossip or rumour elsewhere, you and Annother46 are making it worse by hitting out in similar snide ways.
