General Discussion
Sadly, the people of Dawlish have only been offered either a Victorian style bandstand of the giant woodlouse. There is probably something between the two that would meet the needs of the town and be aesthetically acceptable to the vast majority. Having said that, people may turn out in their droves to support the building of the new structure, the playpark, the basketball court, the outdoor ...
Well said FredBassett! At the Events committee meeting on Tuesday this week I suggested that we ask for evidence of the supposed level of trouble and the numbers involved because no one else seems to be aware of the scale of disturbance the police claim. This is being taken forward.
I don't think anyone is saying we should not be bidding for the funding or replacing the bandstand but what we do need to do is ensure the replacement bandstand and other changes to the lawn do not destroy the character of Dawlish. It has been stated that the whole idea of the Cultural Arts Pavillion is to attract more large events to the town, is this really what the people of Dawlish want? You ...

I can clear up Oberserver's concerns as to whether any law has been broken, it hasn't! This was an email sent to all Councillors not marked private or confidential. It was concerning the late item I brought up at the meeting on Wednesday regarding possibly linking with Minehead as we may have something to learn and help us with regenerating Dawlish. The email was quite dismissive of my suggestion, ...
Sorry Mrs C there was a need as scathing remarks were made about the posters on here in a cowardly and uninformative way. The person has not made similar comments in public about the posters on here and one wonders why. And when I talked about the posters on here being interested and informative I wasn't including you as I find you to be the rudest person on this forum with little of interest to ...
Michael was very supportive of my proposal and in fact was my seconder to the proposal. He had done his own research and thought a visit would be worthwhile. I have only started posting since I semi - retired in April and so have the time to read about what is concerning and interesting people in our town. In that short space of time I have found the people who post to be genuinely interested in ...
Sorry, I got the above wrong! It was well received by MOST Councillors. Since the meeting one Councillor sent a condescending email which was rather scathing about my suggestion and about the people who post on this forum. However, the Locum Town Clerk has written to Minehead Town Council and Vision group and hopefully the visit will go ahead.
The plans for the replacement bandstand can be viewed at The Open Daw thanks to a Dawlish resident who purchased a set of the plans and to Open Daw who agreed to have them on display for the public to view. There is to be a public consultation towards the end of June with a survey, available both on-line and in paper versions, for people to complete and have their say about what should be built ...
Have you ever been to the Bridgwater or Taunton carnivals? Everyone knows about the Bridgwater carnival but Taunton carnival is equally stunning and people come from all over to visit them. That could be us one day!
