On the issue of last year's information/consultation project. The latest playpark design (which should be in the Gaz tomorrow) is smaller than the design that was shown to the public last year and therefore it doesn't have the space or the facilities that the public were originally shown and asked to vote on.
@Diana Mond - it will be decided when the people of dawlish have a questionaire on the subject that is not totally loaded to having a play park on The Lawn, with no way ,other than in the comments section, of saying no to a play park on the lawn. This whole project has been railroaded past the Dawlish people. It seems when ever large sums of money are involved, those representing us, seem to ...
In my post of 8th October 13.40 I left out the financial restrictions that are being felt, and have been felt for some time. by public sector workers, eg NHS staff, school staff, police, armed forces, fire service, My apologies to you all. Public sector pay was frozen for two years in 2010, except for those earning less than £21,000 a year, and since 2013, rises have been capped at 1% - ...

I’m not going by to get drawn into an argument with you Margaret Swift. You’re clearly reading more into my comments than there need be. My point, that was clearly too subtle, was that a number of people within a certain demographic have previously stated on here and on Facebook that they think it’s unlikely that people in Dawlish take their kids to Teignmouth to use the playpark facilities there. ...
When this latest Gatehouse development planning app goes to the town council planning committee in a few weeks time, I wonder if the number of under 8 year olds it might bring to the town ought to be a planning consideration given that the reason for the proposed new playpark for under 8 year olds on the lawn is premised on the argument that the under 8 year olds' parents who live in all the new ...
Just read Mrs Cs post again, and yes, it is nasty!
There is indeed an application in, but they also want to add a Cafe to it! Why! Does Dawlish not have enough Cafes, we could be a Charity Shop there aswell.
