Just thought I'd post a reminder that the latest version of the draft Dawlish plan plus the draft plan for the whole of Teignbridge (aka The Core Strategy) will be available for inspection this coming Tuesday (24th) between 2pm and 8pm at the United Reform Church. Might be a thought to have a think about how the proposals for Dawlish not only affect Dawlish but also places near to it and equally ...
