General Discussion
Does anyone know what the plans are for this building? It's been all boarded up for some time now.
Seemed ok to me. Had a good time, but I guess didnt stay till the end so I didnt see any problems. Amazing to me that the police are imposing draconian rules. This doesnt seem to apply to the pubs in Dawlish when they are open till 2/3 am on Friday and saturday and you get punters in the streets singing, beeping cars, swearing and fighting when they kick out? This happens nearly every weekend and ...
What do you expect from a right wing rag? Its purpose is to keep us voting conservative and to keep us busy by preying on our anxieties. Within days of the general election win, the right wing papers started turning its guns on people on benefits, immigrants and the disabled, as a ploy to move the spotlight away from big business and MPs stealing from us. The more we are worried about people on ...
I agree the current bandstand needs to be replaced but am unsure on whether traditional or modern is preferable. Both have their merits but the scale of the new structure seems to be a concern to many. An example of a modern 'bandstand' can be seen in the Manor Gardens in Exmouth . If you get the chance to go along to their festival next week you will see what our town could provide to ...
Try looking on the Surfers against Sewage website Hollie. They regularly organise beach cleans and may have some advice/information

@Brookyln Bridge. I agree completely. Seagull chicks are waking me up every morning but unless all my neighbours agree to 'bird-proof' their roof tops as well, there is little point me doing so. I did spot some seagulls perched on our lovely new lampposts along the strand this morning. I do hope the council and the new town manager get some expert advice and maybe negotiate a discount for ...
Just had a look at the planting of the 'mud banks'. I'm no gardening expert but it looks like some of the plants are likely to grow to 4-5 ft thus replacing our stone wall along the Strand with a 'green' wall instead! They've chosen to plant the tallest shrubs opposite the trees on the Lawn so when they grow taller they will probably 'meet' the lower branches. Also, none of the plants appear ...
@FredBassett - i understood that the signal box was going to be unlisted as its no longer safe? not sure why they couldn't repair or move it to another location as surely when they dismantle it , that part of the platform will still need to be sectioned off. If you want to see what the conservation department do approve of, have a look at the plans on their website for 34 Park Road!!
So its probaby a 'waiting game' for the owners. If the building continues to deterioate then TDC will have another application for its demolition in a few years time .......In that case, what it the point of having conservation areas and listed buildings? no one seems to be interested, unless of course its a new housing development of boxes. Sorry folks, rant over!
