General Discussion
I was up at Oaklands Wood yesterday. Oaklands wood leads onto three fields that have a path running around them often used by dog walkers. These three fields are up for consideration for housing development. They are known as the Teignmouth Road site in the Local Plan review. Someone has placed some A4 posters where access to the fields can be made from the wood giving information about this ...
Fresh air is great. Virus ridden air ain't. Wearing a mask in crowded places and keeping your distance is not being sheeple. It's being sensible.
"It now seems that protective measures such as masking and distancing leading to lower exposure (getting a lower infectious dose) correlates with risk of death. So if you’re exposed to less virus the course of the infection is less severe. This has been long-suspected but the data is now supporting that.

I've just been reading a thread on Eyes of Dawlish concerning this Local Plan review. Quite understandably there are comments expressing concern about Grade 1 agricultural land being developed for housing and how this shouldn't be allowed to happen because this country should be more self sufficient with regard to food, and how it doesn't augur well for the future of the British farming ...
I'm guessing this is the revised planning application. It is being determined at next Tuesday's (20th July) TDC planning committee meeting. Officer recommendation is to approve. MAMHEAD - 21/00762/FUL - Land At NGR 294030 81786, Mamhead - Use of land for two gypsy and traveller pitches including two mobile homes, one day room and new driveway
This item is again on the agenda for the town council's planning committee meeting this Thursday (15th July) so now might be a good time to let councillors know what you think of the proposals. The larger sites are as follows: Dawlish North - land around the countryside park and both sides of the A379. Langdon Hospital - land around the hospital and Langdon farm area. ...
