General Discussion
The whole thing is another DCC mess up, when the cycle path was put in along the A379 that stopped there being enough space for traffic lights at the junction of Elm Grove Road and the A379. I have always thought that in this day and age of computers that a set of three way lights with pedestrian option for all traffic at stop in all directions could be put in. That would allow the removal of the ...
Just in case some who know this area of town might be thinking to themselves "Well, what about opening up Carhaix Way then?" I'll just point out that DCC Highways have said they have no intention of doing so. For those unware of the saga of Carhaix Way it is presently bollarded off half way along so that only pedestrians and cyclists have a through route from the Exeter Road side of Carhaix Way ...
STOP PRESS! STOP PRESS! READ THE LATEST INFO HERE Just 15 minutes ago I received this from DCC Highway's Dept. "We would look to monitor the situation before implementing any changes including the previously proposed “no right turn”. As the development is built out, along with the new link road, we will be monitoring the roads in the area to see if any capacity issues ...
This no RHT from Exeter Road onto Elm Grove Road proposal has been in the air since at least 2016. DCC Highways department say it will be needed because of the extra traffic generated by all the new homes being built up Gatehouse Farm way. Earlier this year I contacted DCC Highways department to see if they were still of the same mind. They are. Even if the link road were to be completely in ...
The following is an extract from the minutes of Devon County Council's Cabinet meeting held in July 2021. Note item B. To me that reads that no negotiations to puchase the land or, if necessary, acquire it via a Compulsory Purchase Order, will be implemented unless and until planning permission is granted for the bridge to be built. The Environment Agency is presently objecting to both the bridge ...
Yes folks, this is what DCC Highways department is proposing should happen. All traffic wishing to leave Exeter Road from the sea side of the A379 wanting to access the Elm Grove/ Gatehouse Farm area will have to do so via Sandy Lane and Elm Grove Drive. Some might welcome this proposal. Who knows? It would be interesting to find out. P'raps someone should ask the residents of Elm Grove ...
There is a letter concerning the missing link road on page 17 of the latest Dawlish Gazette (Thursday 17th March 2022). Letter is headed Get Used to More Construction Traffic in Dawlish. Please bring its contents (by word of mouth/other forms of local social media) to the attention of all those living in and using the Elm Grove area. That includes all those, many of whom have young famiilies, ...
It's a foregone conclusion
The request by Dawlish Town Council for this planning application to be decided by Teignbridge District Council Planning Committee (rather than a TDC Planning Officer) has been refused. Anyone fancy laying a bet as to what the TDC Planning Officer will decide?
