Local Economy
OUR dear Mayor surely?
Also, one of the reasons being put forward that Dawlish 'needs' a supermarket it that there is a lot of leakage of money with people shopping at the supermarkets in Exeter and Newton Abbot. Thus, goes the logic, Dawlish needs a supermarket to stop this happening and thus it will be beneficial for Dawlish. Sorry, that's weird logic to me.Surely all having a supermarket in Dawlish will achieve is ...
Yes, a supermarket will stop the trek to Newton or Exeter but it will also bring more cars to us here, in Dawlish. Swings and roundabouts if you ask me. Money will go out of the local economy and into Mr Sainsbury's pockets. 1. From the tourists and 2. From those who live here. Jobs? I have an open mind on how many and how well paid etc. However, let's see if we can guess where a lot of that ...
That the supermarket is getting a lot of attention shows exactly what an issue it is. Better that than complete and utter indifference. Whilst I suspect that the opening of a 3rd betting shop might also cause quite a few comments its presence in the town would have nowhere near the impact that a large supermarket will have - for better or worse.
Have just voted. Please can lots and lots of people do the same. Not only would it be great for Rock and Sole if it won but if it did then that could generate lots of free publicity for Dawlish and maybe lots of extra visitors wanting to try Rock and Sole chips. (and, of course, whilst they were here they might visit a few of the other shops as well.......) United we stand, divided we fall.

And a Farmers' Market in Dawlish could help out perhaps? Alternatively, and until and unless that happens why don't you get your fruit and veg delivered by a local, organic, supplier?
Do you have any contact details?

Okey dokey then here is what we do first of all: LOBBY, LOBBY, LOBBY, our Teignbridge District Cllrs (cc the Dawlish Town ones) asking them if they would be supportive of a Farmers' Market in Dawlish (like Teignbridge District Council not asking an extortionate amount in hire fee for being able to use the lawn). Someone might want to run the idea past Dawlish Chamber of Commerce? Also lobby our ...
