General Discussion
Given that Cllr Taylor's name was mentioned in the above press release I thought I'd see if I could find anything by googling his name. Found his facebook page. There is a recent thread on there concerning the latest proposals from network rail to revamp Dawlish station.

So I asked the town clerk if Dawlish Town Council had any policy concerning this matter and this is what I received in response. PRESS RELEASE 5 June 2020 Network Rail - Coastguards to Colonnade Plans Network Rail have recently published their rail resilience proposals for Coastguards to Colonnade and will be submitting their plans to the local planning authority, Teignbridge ...
