General Discussion
Had e-mail back from Anne-Marie Morris who said that she had told TDC about this competition before it was officially announced so they've had plenty of warning. Interesting though that there's been no local publicity about it which suggests perhaps that TDC haven't done very much. With thinking cap on, what does Dawlish need? Sad to say, I tend to do much more in Teignmouth than Dawlish. Why? ...
Have heard from our local councillor that Teignbridge officer, Tony Watson, is on the case.
Given the tight deadline someone needs to pick up and lead this now. According to the article: "12 successful localities will create Town Teams, made up of the key players in their local community - such as the council, local landlords, shopkeepers and the local MP". So all these need to buy in to the idea and be part of the pitch. The MP seems to be the best place to start - without her support ...
Looks interesting doesn't it. Have passed details on to our local councillors.

@Don. Yes it was that famous thread "Drop in meetings for consultation on draft Dawlish Plan". What a thread that was. I remember it well. The myth of the housing projections was exploded, the Dawlish Plan was in tatters, peopel threatened to withdraw from this forum because it was getting boring. Yet the whole thread was core to teh future of Dawlish!! Don't know about nimby but you do have to ...
