Apologies to Smokey for going off the original subject (The Strand) but really would like to know from Fronteraman the reasons for his application being rejected. Fronteraman - as it seems you are wanting to stand as a candidate for one of the main political parties are you prepared to tell us which one it is that keeps rejecting you? Why not stand as an Independent candidate? I believe others ...
Whilst having my own thoughts on our councillors (not all negative by the way) I'll refrain from making any personal comment. However, and as I have said on other threads recently, we have local elections in May when ALL the Dawlish Town Council seats and ALL 5 Dawlish seats for Teignbridge District Council will be up for grabs. I will be extremely interested to see the names of those standing ...
Amosite, I couldn't agree with you more. So, most definitely agree that public monies should not be spent on it and if it was a choice between a wealthy benefactor wanting to spent her/his private money on restoring it OR donating their money to something along the lines you mention above then I would wish that they should do that.

Don't know about anyone else but at the moment I just get the impression that the Big Society is treated as just one big joke by many in the country. On a more serious angle, I am ...
Perhaps a railway society somewhere could give it a home? You know, the ones that run steam engines on disused rail lines. Pete Waterman (record producer) is a steam train fan from what I understand and I believe has his own line/has his own steam engines. He was on the tele the other day bemoaning the fact that he couldn't get skilled workers to restore the engines he had bought. Anyone thought ...
Perhaps those who were councillors back in 2002 could throw some light on this matter?
@wondering - yep you are not the only one to have experienced this gross overcrowding. there was a letter in the gazette this week complaining about the very same thing. this link should get you it http://www.dawlishnewspapers.co.uk/Letters.cfm?id=4734&headline=Not a first class train I usually plan my travelling times to avoid Saturdays but for some reason on a Saturday last summer I decided ...
