Re: Play park on Dawlish Lawn. Mon, 25 Jun 2018 15:55 Cllr Martin Wrigley martin.wrigley@dawlish.gov.uk, Many thanks for your email. The Lawn Working group has been set up to look at the ideas about the Lawn and to see if we can find a consensus that the Town can endorse. No decisions have yet been made, and nothing is set in stone. We are currently working on a plan to ensure that we get a good ...
@Lynne , i read Bob Vickery’s letter and he is wrong, the survey did not produce a result in favour of a playpark next to the bowling green. the results were not clear cut at all, which is why a referendum on the issue is required.

Completely agree Flo, it was a great night at the Cove and I hope there will be many more. The cafe has brought the Cove back to life and it’s lovely going down there. Some people will moan whatever is put on!
hi @Brooklyn Bridge - try clicking on 'source' and pasting. i have problems typing sometimes on this site and have to move over to source. On other matters. There was a great evening last night at Coryton Cove with some chilled music and pizzas. Seriously the number of moaning minnies who didn't like 'the type' of music was unbelievable on Facebook today, The cafe actually ...
Webmaster... Trying to copy and paste onto this forum. I know how to copy and paste, however just can't seem to do it for this site. I have sent email to all Councillors with regards this topic. Could it be possible to send it to your email address if you have one and you could post it for me. Thanks
