General Discussion
This was at item number 14 on the agenda at the last full council meeting held on 1st July "14 Dawlish Warren Toilet Closure – To consider the implications of the closure of the toilet facilities at Dawlish Warren." As the minutes of that meeting are not yet online I have no idea what was discussed/course(s) of action agreed upon etc. So.....should anyone who was at that ...

For clarification - I was suggesting writing to the Gazette as well as posting on here.
A suggestion to all - re toilets at Dawlish Warren, Cockwood Residents' Association and anything and everything else. Why not write to the Dawlish Gazette about your grievances and concerns? I do not know the number of readers the Gazette has but it would be certainly considerably higher than the, I would guess, 50-60 individuals max who read the discussion topics on this website. Writing a ...

Dawlish Central and North East ward is a Teignbridge District Ward. It returns three District councillors. These were elected in early May. All three are Conservative and are Cllrs Mayne, Hockin and Price. Dawlish North East ward (which includes Cockwood) is a Dawlish Town Council ward. I believe it returns three Dawlish town councillors. Cllr Wrigley is one of those councillors. If you want ...
Just been reading through this thread. It's gone off topic (so what's new?) but would just point out that whilst I have no idea of who is what on Cockwood Residents Association, who it represents and why etc, Cllr Wrigley was democratically elected only 5 or 6 weeks ago to represent Dawlish North East ward (which includes Cockwood) on Dawlish Town Council. Did no-one in Cockwood vote for him then?
I have absolutely no idea what the pro and con arguments are concerning Cockwood breaking away from Dawlish but could well imagine the prospect of a reduction in council tax (if indeed that could be offered) might well persuade some people to vote for such a proposal. Anyhow don't people already pay different levels of council tax depending on the size and location of the properties they live ...
So.....people shouldn't stand for election to councils unless they have done years of meaningful service to their community? Just putting aside how 'meaningful service' should be defined, if we are talking years of it then I guess that would rule out many of the younger generation. What are you suggesting? Gerontocratic councils throughout the land?
P'raps someone should contact one of the three Dawlish councillors who represent Dawlish Warren on TDC? How about this one?
