Tree felling going on and what was the grassy cul-de-sac at the top of Carhaix Way is now a way into and out of the building site. Some 250 or so new homes to be built I believe. (and don't forget that all the new housing will provide lots more customers for that new supermarket just across the way............)
There's more about all of this in today's Gazette. See front page and page 3.
@Myrtle "In Dawlish town centre all you can buy is fudge and ice-cream". That isn't quite true, is it? On The Strand there is the Co-op, a butcher's, a green-grocer's, a couple of bakers, a shoe-shop, a florist, a toy-shop come bits and bobs shop, Boots, LLoyds, One-Stop (with post office).
