Well the wording of her communication, (to which select group of people was this sent, I wonder?), leaves us in no doubt as to which side of the fence she sits on. My opinions will therefore be forwarded to someone on this working party who I'd have more trust in to put forward (rather than file away) my personal views.
I have received this: DTC LAWN WORKING PARTY A working party has been convened by Dawlish Town Council and which also includes representatives from other organisations in Dawlish. The aim of this group is to bring forward a vision for the future of The Lawn to bring forward to Teignbridge District Council, the landowners, for the long -term future of this much -loved green ...
People with dogs coming to our coastline is a big revenue earner and to ban dogs from all beaches, in my opinion, would be a very blinkered and ignorant act IF the council did implement such an economically disasterous action. As with most restrictions in the U.K. on freedom whether that be speech, movement or just living your life the way you want without negatively effecting those around ...
The sooner the Dawlish council can get over going into fever mode everytime some money pops up on the horizon to spend on a specific project. Which then ends up with a blinkered, fevered attitude to spend the money rather than let it go at the expense of anything and everything that then gets trampled on by the spend. IN MY OPINION.
It seems that there is a sum of £20,000 from GWR towards the cost of the playpark but this money is time limited to April 2019. (although September 2019 was also mentioned in the town council meeting). This sum is less than 10% of the total required which is in excess of £240,000. The town council already has a total of £120,000 funds that can be committed to the playpark project. The ...
@Willkiner - yes you are correct. There is indeed some time-limited money available. Issues concerning money were supposed to be talked about in part B of the last town council meeting but some councillors seemed to forget that (or perhaps they didn't ........?) and spoke about it in the open part of the meeting.
On Thursday this week, there were four families playing on the top section of the lawn in the afternoon ( two football, one rugby and one cricket) when I walked past in the afternoon. Leave it be. Most towns would love a superb space like this. If the playpark goes ahead, is there a chance that it would become a rusting hulk within a couple of years, with poorly maintained equipment etc? ...
There is a certain type of person that lets their dog poop anywhere and it doesn't concern them one bit. You will never get through because that's the way they are. They are cretins of the first order and have no consideration for other people or the environment.
In the past we had to have a dog licence to own a dog i would bring that back but make it £100 per year there are 10 million dogs in the UK and i wonder if folk had to pay that amount would everyone still want a dog.
Well, I saw a man who let his dog poo by the side of the path in the Manor and it was a big one (both poo and dog). I remonstrated with him and told him he could face a fine but he just looked blank and I don't think he really thought there was any problem. A child running along by the side of that footpath could easily step in it, plus anyone else. When you can't get through to people, what do ...
