Would I be right in thinking that there is a large sum of money that has to be spent on new facilities on the Lawn, by a fast-approaching date, else that money is lost forever? A new multi-purpose bandstand has been put to bed forever, and a single function bandstand would be for the few not the many. Meanwhile the imaginatively designed play park would be used by far more people year round ...
There is no furore. All it is is that there are few people who are unhappy about this, and it's the same old people who are always unhappy about everything that's ever proposed to improve Dawlish.
My take on the matter is that the assumption being made is that if you voted "No" to all of the suggested locations, then that meant that you didn't want a play park on the lawn at all.
The respondents were asked to declare whether they were Dawlish residents or non-Dawlish residents. So it should say "76.9% of respondents from Dawlish voted in favour...".
Thanks Lynne.
Thanks majorp for clarifying that.
Majorp - are you confusing the proposed play park on the Lawn, with the actual Countryside Park near Cofton?
Majorp - the children's play park will be used by children (local and visitors) for them to play on...
Are you talking about those concrete huts that everyone was moaning about for being unsightly drinking dens for the towns drunkards? Apologies if I've got the wrong location. PS I think the Strand is a vastly improved experience for pedestrians since it was upgraded.
I suggest that we build a big nuclear bunker on the Lawn...
