I have started this new topic as I think it deserves a place of it's own. It is showing me once again how LA's can lie with impunity and think they can get away with it. And that goes for smaller outfits such as a Town council. There is some knowledge of this from the topic, Playpark on the lawn. I started to investigate what was happening to Berry Head car park when someone cried for help ...

FOLOLA ,work it out.

I believe part of the decluttering of visuals was the over abundance of signs. Although since this doc was originally created it has increased signficantly rather than decreased. Next will have signs in town directing vistitors to where the nearest sign is.

I and others have mentioned a bandstand similar to the victorian styled one in Newton Abbot.

Planning application 08/01472/MAJ I have been looking at the S106 agreement concerning that planning permission. Part of that permission involved certain undertakings one of which concerns a £200,000 town centre contribution by Sainsbury's ...

Dear Councillors, There has been a lot of publicity with regard to locating a play park on the Dawlish Lawn. Some of your meetings have been conducted in closed sessions with very little transparency for the residents of Dawlish. You had conducted a survey that was in some way skewed in favour of this play park. First, it was decided that the play park be located between the bandstand and the ...
