General Discussion
Thanks Lynne, but already done all that. All my ideas on the Strand thread where sent in a letter to the Conservative led council in 2008 as an alternative use for the Shutterton site. The promised response from a certain Mr Hockin never materialized and so it was passed to the Gazette for another waste of time. To be honest Lynne I think Wondering is right leave the place as it is to rot in ...
Remember the wood huts down the warren and the number of people who used them, nows there's the real answer to shopping in a holiday town enviroment. You could get virtually anything there and the atmospehre was second to none. (a certain Conservative councilor who shall remain nameless sailed his fellow traders down the swanny on that one) replacing several small so called eyesores with the three ...
@Lynne . Your comment just about sums it up. Same Old Same Old. This is about something new and ways to move foward to ensure the area prospers, not about the old school moaners that probably wont surrvive the next 25 years anyway, they can move to Eastbourne with their pensions and wait for god there in peace and quiet. This town needs to move on or curl up and die with the moaners, why should ...
Probably driving up Brunswick and down the Strand looking for somewhere to park before naffing off to Teignmouth. Or maybe they where videoing the drive around Town in case they need to show someone what fun it used to be before the looneys banned cars. Ha Ha Ha. I'm off to WILLOS to hide in their tent and have a brew, maybe ill borrow someone's blue badge and park my lorry outside Baily's thatll ...
The key will certainly be to provide value for money for everyone that visits town. My thought would be a move from retail shopping to entertainment. As money gets tighter and harder to earn people will do more of their shopping on line in an effort to control what they spend, its so easy to get carried away in a big store. After that they are going to want some fun in their lifes without having ...
@Andy Mac Simple lets all arrange to meet at the manor house one evening which we as electors have a right to do, stop hiding behind this faceless forum and get these ideas down on paper. Lynne has opened a thread for this on here but I don't think anything constructive has been posted. It really is going to be a difficult job as the town Centre structure is so fragmented with major influences ...
Thanks to reports by myself and action taken by councilor Clatworthy the road along by the site has now been cleaned and swept for the weekend - THANK YOU
@wondering With all due respect you really dont seem to have a clue how ruthless major retailers like Sainsbury's really are in relation to competition in the market place. They without doubt pose a threat to every retail business, not only in Dawlish but everywhere they choose to raise their ugly heads. It dosen't end with just the retailers either, you need to be aware of how they treat their ...
Just ignore and carry on as normal. If Teignbridge want to waste our money on forcing you to remove it then let them go ahead. Assuming that your lease or land registry, permit you to use the outside area as an extension to your business and your public liability insurance dont have an issue. Best of luck. Failing that tell them your a subsiduary of a major supermarket and you can do as you ...
Good thought Smokey thats exactly one of the back stabbing tactics these Supermarket Giants play. I really despair with the local people who think Sainsbury's will be good for our town, their only goal is to get people into their store at any cost. The local traders like myself have no chance against them and they certainly wont play fair. They will only release the money promised to the town ...
