Do you have any particular interests? If you let us know that might help us give you some leads. Are you looking for paid work or voluntary work or both?
For those interested: this link should take you to the latest proposals to come out from TDC concerning how Dawlish should be developed over the next 20 years. http://www.teignbridge.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=31926&p=0 At a quick glance it appears to be essentially the same as the draft plan that was out for consultation back in September but although I haven't yet looked at in detail it does ...
@Nelson - as i recall dare were against dawlish having a new supermarket at all (dawlish now has one) and that given that it had been decided that a new supermarket was indeed what dawlish needed dare subsequently argued that that ladies mile holiday park was the better location rather than shutterton bridge. and where is the new supermarket located? shutterton bridge. hardly proof of a minority ...

It's not a big market by any means and the number of stall holders varies throughout the year but I make a habit of going along and buying ...
Who's moaning? Making a comment about a new business and its possible impact isn't necessarily moaning. It's making an observation. When is the next auction taking place?
Whilst I appreciate the point about empty properties being put to use that doesn't detract from the other point made that the type of business in question may well cause a traffic problem. Whether it does or whether it doesn't we'll all soon find out. I wonder what the owners of that sometimes open sometimes closed second hand shop found out at the garage (that's the garage almost opposite the ...
The Wholesome Hog at Duckaller Farm might be of interest to you. http://www.duckallerfarm.co.uk/Hog%20Roast.html
@wriggler - yes i thought the same thing. and the lorries delivering the items for auction, where will they park? presumably outside or near the building. traffic congestion problems? are there any parking restrictions in that part of high street?
