Judith, I can answer your question. We will know by mid-July if we have got through the first hurdle. If we have, we then have to submit even more detailed plans by October. The final outcome will be announced in February 2015. If DTC are successful at that stage then work has to commence by September 2015 and be completed by the summer of 2016. Let us all hope that the work carried out is in line ...

To ensure the Town Council present an unbiased view then people also need to make sure they view the planning application for the Cultual Arts Pavillion submitted to Teignbridge Council as this then provides a rounded picture of the scale of the proposed Pavillion. I am sure both sets of documents will be on view during the consultation process so everyone can view all documentation related to ...

It will be great to see them back! Good luck, and I hope it is a great season for them.

PS Mrs C, everyone knows who I am therefore I don't need to use the title of Councillor, just as Michael Clayson and Bob Vickery don't need to use their title of Councillor. However, at least I do use my full name and do not hide behind anonymity.

There would have been consultation but it would have been rushed through before people fully realised what was happening and had time to really appreciate the full impact of the proposals.

For the record Councillor Vickery, I DID vote for the funding in April and I DID vote for the scheme on May 14th. I voted for the scheme on May 14th because Councillors were reassured that if the people of Dawlish voted not to have a large arts pavillion built on their lawn then the scheme would be modified. My views expressed during that meeting were fully reported in the Dawlish Gazette the ...

The basis might be based on consultations 10 years ago and isn't that the very point? They are hopelessly out of date! And isn't it a fact that the notion of an arts pavillion has twice been deemed as a flawed concept and thrown out at the Yellow Book stage and at a later stage so why suddenly is it a viable proposition now? The fact remains that the planning application put to Teignbridge Council ...

Well, I hope you are sitting down Mrs C as for once I absolutely agree with you!! And it not just on our beaches but on our pavements and on the lawn area! Why do people not pick up after their dog? The worst culprits are those that do pick up put the pooh in a plastic bag and then throw it into the hedgerow or side of the road etc, where it will not degrade for at least a 1,000 years!! At ...

As a point of accuracy, all town Councillors are available to be on hand for the consultation period, that includes those who are promoting the proposal and those of us who remain neutral and would prefer the people of Dawlish to decide what is built (or not built) on the lawn. Re the attraction of more events - please see Michael Clayson's post under the NatWest thread  on the 30th May at ...

I think the letter in the Gazette this week aptly sums up the plans for the lights over the brook. OK, they will be coloured but the stunning beauty of the lights at night as we currently see them will be no more. In a meeting last night led by Councillor Vickery, he stated  that the current lights look ugly during the day, this is an entirely personal point of view. The author of the letter in ...
