General Discussion
@ALLEMS Negative, or vacuum, statistics take the preferences and subtract from 100 to get opposition %ages., thus 80% DIDN'T want the bandstand left as it is, just tidied up, 64% DIDN'T want a Victorian style edifice, and 56% DIDN'T want the proposed solution. So, where do you go from there? Hit your head against a brick wall? As there were three options for the bandstand question and ...
@FredBassett you refer to "the secret closed session they always have after every council meeting." i don't know if you attend town council meetings, or even see the agendas, but everything that can be discussed in public is. anthing that relates to employee personnel issues and their own personal financial position, and anything that is confidential of a financial nature with contractors, ...
Ok, let's get one thing out of the way. It was not an error, just clumsy phrasing. Town councillors are elected but receive no salary or attendance fees, unlike District and County Councillors. I have no issue with that, but there are members of the public who sometimes imagine that we are paid for our time like first and second tiers of local government. @Mcjrpc If we are invited to ...
@Margaret Swift . ref 13 july 0032, i wish that you would not misrepresent what i say in open session to the town council, or in presentations to the public, about the proposal to create new visitor interest on the lawn. There is no "sole aim ...to bring big events into Dawlish on a regular basis". You have referred to me elsewhere in Discussions as "this appears to be the obsession of one ...
@Merlin228 I am a Town Councillor and have the figures from our Town Council meeting of April 2, 2014 which can also be seen in the published Minutes on the Town Council website. A proposal was put to that meeting to consider submitting a bid to the Coastal Communities Fund (CCF) by April 30, 2014 (The closing date) which required that a Planning Application had to be submitted to the ...
@OhCoralina - exactly right. ignore the old grumps like burneside who probably don't use our beaches anyway.
Fred, I have an answer for you. Next April there will be new elections to town and district councils and I will probably not put myself forward again. (That should make you happy). So, put your nomination form in and get on the town council and then you can pass your hours chasing useless information instead of getting others to do it for you. What really puzzles me is what you will do with the ...
For anyone who has missed seeing the proposals and has the time to come to St Mary's Hall in the outer car park at Dawlish Warren, we will be there tomorrow Tuesday from 10am -5pm.
@Judith Chalmers We who organised the displays chose three consecutive days at the end of a week, with one (friday) staying open till 8pm for those at daytime work, and the last one (Staurday) 10-5pm so that anyone working away five days could still get to see the material on Saturday. Hope that helps. Of course, however one tries to advertise and publicise there will be some who miss'open ...
@Margaret Swift . your 2207 requires an answer from me? do you not understand that the only plans that are in circulation were drawn by our architects and not a fabrication by me? the same drawings were submitted for planning as those we are displaying. if you don't believe me.....i give up. i think that you are trying desperately to create a smokescreen to confuse other members of the ...
