Monty, the decision by TDC was nothing to do with what was reported by the then Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Dawlish. The facts are contained in this link: http://m.teignbridge.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=37146&p=0
LN, I know what the report says about it being a "quiet zone". 8 years on, I personally believe that we need to look at the success of the Teignmouth model, and create a play park to help continue stopping Dawlish from becoming a dead zone.
