I would like to know who (landlord or tenant) is responsible for the repair and maintenance of the beach cafe by the Viaduct now known as the Pirate's Chest. Also, does anyone have an uptodate picture of it they could post on here?

Here's a suggstion Annother46 given that this topic seemingly causes you so much angst. Why not write a letter to the Gazette about it? Up to them whether or not it gets published of course but if published it would bring the issues you raise to a far wider audience then you get on here and might even generate letters in response. I don't know what the freehold/leasehold arrangements of ...

Cynical, yes I agree.. But I suspect you are not the only one thinking along such lines. I would have thought all this negative energy could be more usefully and positively exercised by helping the Pirate's Chest (by the Viaduct) get a much needed face lift. Also, the potential for customers I would have thought is greater there (by the viaduct) then further along at Coryton Cove as there is ...

Let us say Teignbridge District Council still had a housing stock (been transferred to Teign Housing now). But let us say it was all still in TDC's ownership. If one of the TDC houses burnt down, howsoever the fire was caused, wouldn't TDC, as landlord, be responsible for all sorts of things concerning the resultant mess? And I imagine TDC would build a replacement house just as it plans to build ...

A question. Quite possibly a naive one but a question nontheless. Why don't all those who are so supportive of the Pirate's Chest (that's the one by the viaduct) do something a tad more positive in terms of helping those who run it by, for example, doing something to improve its appearance?

Just saw a notice pinned to the bus stop up by Marina Garage. Thought at first that it was in relation to the accident in that area earlier today but when I phoned someone up I knew would be using that road this evening they said they already knew of the closure because there had been signs up for some time saying that is when road surfacing would be taking place. Still, thought I would post ...

(yes I know there is an earlier thread about the present town manager resigning but it is a long thread - I've just looked at it - so I thought I would start this one). Teignmouth and Dawlish Town Centre Development Manager Salary: circa. £25000 to £30,000 p/a Term: initially 2 years Teignmouth and Dawlish are beautiful seaside towns on the South Devon coast.  An ...

Okay, slight tangent but still relevant to this thread (I think). Was down in the town the other day and took a look along the seafront.  Now, unless work has been done on the Pirate's Chest (that's the Pirate's Chest by the viaduct just to be clear) between then and as I type this, it is still looking one all mighty mess. Who is responsible for its maintenance? TDC? Network Rail? or the ...

Re young people. I understand Dawlish Community College raised the proposal with their year 10 and year 9 students (year 11 students, having completed their exams, were no longer at the college). Think the students also completed a survey. Don't know what happened to the results of the survey though. Leatash do you know? PS for those who don't understand school 'new speak', here is a ...

TDC Planning Department - here's the link I gave on the original post concerning this issue. If you click on it you should be able to access the comments lodged with TDC. http://docimages.teignbridge.gov.uk/Planning/lg/GFPlanningDocuments.page?org.apache.shale.dialog.DIALOG_NAME=gfplanningsearch&Param=lg.Planning&viewdocs=true&SDescription=14/01275/FUL
