@Mcjrpc - are you feeling entrepreneurial? you could always sell those screenshots at say, a £1.00 a go. (PS Welcome back - have missed you
Well, unless all details concerning what TDC were looking for in deciding to whom to award the tender are made public we shall never know why they decided what they decided, will we? Was having to be a local trader part of the tender criteria? I imagine TDC had to award the tender to the business they felt best met their requirements. Their not awarding it to a local business possibly ...
PS - It is recognised that both Gatehouse and Westcliff primary schools will need to expand.
I wonder just how much of the housing to be built will have the 60+s in mind? Dawlish has quite a number of folk in that age group (have seen figures somewhere but can't remember where right now). Anyhow, a 60+ population will have a demand for housing that will suit them in their later years. Like single storey accommodation (for when going up and down stairs become an impossibility) ...
I was idly wondering to myself why the urgency re this informa, sorry, consultation exercise and then I remembered that before even one of those Redrow houses can be occupied (first houses ready for occupation late 2015/ early 2016 I understand) the required amount of SANGS has to be in place, somewhere. I was wondering therefore if this 'somewhere' might be where the temporary SANGS is ...
On the other hand, if TDC has its way there will always be the Coastal Park SANGS at what is presently Warren Farm. That'll be an amenity. Well, according to TDC it will be. (wonder if it will have public toilet facilities?) Oh hang on though. It's meant to stop people visiting the Warren, isn't it.? That is its sole purpose for being. So not an amenity to benefit the Warren after all ...
Thank you. Would I be correct in thinking that this recommendation will now go out for a 6 week or so public consultation period? Or would I be more correct in thinking that this recommendation will now go out for a six week or so public information period? ( but under the guise of consultation). Cynical? me?

Re the call-in. Perhaps the confusion is as follows: The exec decision was indeed called in by the Cllrs I name above (that is a matter of record). I was not at that O&S meeting so I did not personally witness which councillors voted in support of the call in re the toilet closures and which did not. However, I have been told by someone who was there and who did indeed witness who voted ...
The decision was called in. Cllrs Brodie, Connett, Dewhirst, Fry, Lonsdale, Petherick and Purser called it in. See TDC Overview and Scrutiny Committee of 8.10.13. http://www.teignbridge.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=39015&p=0 Note that Dawlish Cllr John Petherick was one of those who called in the decision.
