General Discussion
Money towards its regeneration plus an input from Mary Portas so I guess a knock on effect could also be free publicity for Dawlish.
Well, some people got together on the Lawn, just, eventually, at the 11th hour (or so it seemed). Although to be fair to many who may well have liked to have attended, a Friday morning isn't a good time if you are at work Mon-Fri and it didn't help that the e-mail telling everyone about this photo-shoot and that it was going to happen today was sent out with less than 24 hours notice (I've seen ...
Just to point out that the Portas bid couldn't have been in place 12 months ago as the Portas scheme didn't exist then. It is a new idea.
You may remember that we had a discussion about Dawlish putting in a bid as a Portas Pilot town (see http://www.dawlish.com/forum/item.aspx?id=20678 ).). Well, as part of the bid, a video has to be made explaining why Dawlish should be selected. This video is due to be made tomorrow, that's Friday 16th March. Meet 11.30am at The Lawn. Lots of people needed. (Hope the weather isn't like it is ...
BBC local tv news programme "Spotlight" has a feature today concerning the prospect of a drought in the south west and the consequence increase in food prices (including basics like potatoes) should we continue with this lack of rainfall.

According to this week's Gazette, CAB are available in Dawlish on Wednesday mornings. That is incorrect. I have just checked with someone I know who is a CAB volunteer. Here are the opening times for the Newton Abbot, ...

No idea. Suggest you ask Dawlish Town Council.
Hosepipe ban. From my recollection of the article about this on yesterday's news this part of the country is not in line for hosepipe bans. That said, and yes I do know it rains in the west more than in the east of this country and I do recognise that we have had some very, very wet summers over the recent 3 or 4 years, we might have hospipe bans yet as I'm pretty certain that even in this part ...
As a lot of our Dawlish teenagers continue their education at Exeter College I thought it appropriate to post this on here. Well done to all concerned. (My daughter is very proud to be a student with you). http://www.exe-coll.ac.uk/News/Article.aspx?id=298
