Dawlish News
Let's hope they go about it in a more intelligent way than their offering to Dawlish of an estate of Arts & Crafts inspired house types which got a torrid response from the Town Council Planning Committee. I'm waiting for them to market global cooling versions.
You have posted this 'news' on a Dawlish site, but I should make it clear that the site lies outside the parish of Dawlish and in the Parish of Kenton. The decision to make this application a decision delegated to an officer was not challenged by any district councillor for Kenton, but views were submitted by Dawlish Town Council Planning Committee. The assertion that "the site is well screened ...
Two arguments are confused here, speeding journey times and the need for electrification. Brunel's route took the railway westwards to link centres of population, Exeter, Dawlish, Teignmouth, Newton Abbot, Totnes and Plymouth, with a branch to Paignton and Torbay. Today that route serves a commuting function to the larger centres of employment and education. Long distance travellers have the ...
Deadline for material is normally lunchtime on Monday, so this material will possibly appear next week. The decision 'not to proceed further' was not taken as a result of the opposition, but because the feedback received from Coastal Communities Fund was that our bid did not hit the target objectives with high enough scores. We had been invited to meet Sustrans who have a different proposal ...
The grant to the Shaftesbury Theatre is well deserved, for they are putting on a production this week of "Oh! What a Lovely War" and it has a larger cast with more demands on costume than they normally encounter. This amateur production opens on the centenary of the Declaration of War on August 4th, 1914, and it is part of a continuing programme of events, exhibitions and commemorative services ...
How good it is to see a contarcor and house-builder putting time aside to help the students. I hope that the students from Ratcliffe School, and others for that matter, will also reflect on facts set out by Janet Street-Porter in the Independent on Saturday 2 August, on page 41. Semi-detached houses built in 1924 averaged 1,647 square feet (153 square metres, for the younger generations) while ...
Please be clear that Solstice Renewables have submitted an application at Ashcombe and you should first judge the impact of that scheme on the landscape of the Haldon Hills. It will be very signifficant and it is arguable that it should not be built in an area of such landscape value. Only after you have considered that question should you be willing to give prizes to Soplstice Renewables for ...
A massive Congratulations! from one who wouldn't know where to start in Octopush. So glad that the Town Council gave a grant to help you travel, earlier in the year. Obviously put to great effect. Marvellous.
Today''s Gazette carries the story on, but why? The Birmingham man who negotiated the deal with Brunel to have a lower path was dead before the railway opened. That length of wall has collapsed on other occasions and Network Rail now want to make it as strong as the rest of it. They will also most likely extend the concrete footing that they put in some years ago from Red Rock almost to the ...
