and I shall be in double trouble cos............here is a link (shock horror probe) to an article from a housing magazine that is about er.......well, I'm sure you can imagine. If you read it you will see that it concerns both the Right To Buy issue and the provision (or not) of Affordable Housing. http://www.insidehousing.co.uk/development/familiar-feeling/6518245.article
I live here now in case you hadn't realised(!) but also remember the cafe from when I used to holiday here. Didn't it close in 2007 or thereabouts? Such a shame. Such a lovely location for a cafe. Anyone know why it's not been re-opened as a cafe again?
Well said Don.
I take your point(s) totally Flower about preservation (or not!) of the landscape and TDC's pie in the sky vision. Don't have a problem with the Luscombe Estate staying as it is and not having new houses on it provided the parkland were to be open for public use! Now there's a radical idea!

After all, the estate does have low level land near the town ...
@neilh As I see from another thread that you've recently been along Long Lane, and as Leatash (see above) suggested it as an alternative route in and out of Dawlish, I wondered if you'd given any thought to that suggestion when you were up there?
@Wordonthestreet : I wasn't turning this thread into a political debate. What I was doing was asking Neilh a question given that he had been along Long Lane because Long Lane, on a different thread, had been put forward as a possible alternative route in and out of Dawlish. But of course if it bothers people that I asked that question about Long Lane on this thread then I could always start a ...
