General Discussion
@Lynne . i will happily ask questions and report back, but i anticipate hitting a confidentiality barrier if land negotiations are really involved. it's not an issue i've been involved with thus far, but i will enquire
Hooray! Work seems to have started on the wall at the bottom of Teignmouth Hill. I drove past a little earlier and they were busy on site. As promised, here below are the replies to the questions I posed to Devon County Council; so at least we all have hard facts about what has been happening and how long the work is expected to take (1) Who is responsible for mending the wall, Devon ...

@Carer All I can tell you is that representatives of the Carnival come along to the Town Council's events committee and have told us that their planning for Carnival is on track. Now that the Lawn is managed by Teignbridge all discussion about the precise details is done by Carnival with officers at Forde House.

@Fred It has been explained several times that your recollection of facts is wrong and misses out key steps of the consultation process. The previous Conservative/Lib Dem administration on the Town Council voted to support "Timed Access" to the Strand, which meant Pedestrianisation.

The Town Centre Manager does just that. For Councillors to duplicate that process would I suspect just cause confusion. The proverbial too many cooks spoling the broth. Speaking personally, I shop regularly on the Strand and talk to traders all the time as a customer. I'd like to think that Jen and others know me well enough to raise any concerns they have.
The traders on the Strand are encouraged to raise any concerns they have about the construction work directly with the Project Manager or with the Town Centre Manager. They can approach the Council for further help if they do not find this sufficient. I am not aware that any trader has complained about the service they are getting from either of these two people.
the plans for the Strand works are available on the town council website. You can also ask to see them at the Libray and I expect that they are still available on the Devon County website. I've just looked again to check my facts, and the narrowing of the Strand at the crossing points is as shown on the plans
