Good news and good luck to them! Why is it called 'Red Rock Cafe' when it's located under Langstone Rock? Red Rock is at Boat Cove. This could be why people were getting confused between 'Red Rock Cafe' and 'Rock Pool Cafe' at Coryton Cove on another thread.

All looks good to me ..... except (there's always one isn't there!) the play park equipment which is fine for a rural setting but will look cheap and unfinished in a town centre location. I think that needs a re-think.

Big companies can move into Minehead, build new stores, adapt old premises etc. They can't do that in Dawlish because of the vast size of the Conservation Area. There is no way that Dawlish will attract the big players to the existing Victorian/Georgian/Regency premises on offer - they are too small. So it really depends on what you want - lift the conservation orders and allow development ...

I like it! The bandstand is long overdue for replacement and this, though modern, does not look out of place. I shall call it....The Woodlouse.

"No trick or treat"
2 Nov 2013

American import - not Halloween but Trick or Treating - don't like it. It does frighten some vulnerable people. Perhaps instead of putting signs up saying 'No Trick or Treat' reverse it. Put up signs/stickers (whatever) to indicate that you want to participate so that it can become 'tradition' to leave the rest alone. As for Halloween being an excuse to get drunk - Well, I use any excuse ...
