Okay then. Working on the basis that this government's "we have no money we are all in this together" mantra isn't quite the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth (governments lying? heaven forbid!)) why would it be prepared to spend any of this money that it says it hasn't got on a relief road for Dawlish?
So where would the money for such a road come from then?
Not my calculation Rainbow1 - someone else's. Tell you what - you do the maths for as you yourself say "even my math is betta dan dat!!!!"
Putting the route of the road to one side for the moment. Can I flag up that such a road would need to be funded for some where (and we are talking millions here). So........where would such money come from? I can only think it would come from the Community Infrastructure Levy and New Homes Bonus income generated by the building of the new houses.

I know I've mentioned it on this website before, but as I see that a relief for Dawlish has also been referred to on The Eyes of Dawlish website as something that will definitely happen in the future I'm going to raise the issue here again. Let's just say that all these proposed new homes do get built. Then it follows does it not that all those living in those homes will have cars. At least one ...

Neil - Gawd knows how TDC ended up with that figure. I've since been told that the Steering Group decided on it but based on what info & figures I don't know. Have you tried asking Simon Thornley who is TDC's Service Manager, Spatial Planning & Delivery. Simon.Thornley@Teignbridge.gov.uk I've presently a load of information that people have sent me (and others) that I need to plough through ...
