And people still do that Leatash. And sometimes there's nothing wrong with wanting things to stay the same, change for the sake of change is pointless. Preserve what is worth keeping - the open space, the green areas to play and picnic on. Enhance what needs to be enhanced - the bandstand. Playpark in the corner by the Ugly Duckling or where the Piazza is would be great but not taking up ...
I remember there was a plan to do that as well Margaret but from what i remember there was some negativity from the powers that be as there was with the proposed road train from the Warren. There was at some point a plan from someone in the marina business to extend the sea wall/breakwater at boat cove and dredge it to provide summer moorings on pontoons again lots of negativity. Now my ...
I might have got this wrong but, I thought the plan was to extend the jetty at boat Cove so the small ferries from Brixham, Paignton and Torquay could visit here. They ply an amazing amount of trade between the three towns mentioned and if they could visit here it would bring in a lot more tourists. I understand the sticking block is that the jetty is owned by Network Rail, that is what I was told ...
Lynne there are plenty of great marinas west of us Brixham, Dartmouth, plenty around Plymouth but nothing here. The Exe has plenty of moorings but can be very dangerous at certain times of the tide and is not simple to navigate, Teignmouth again very fast tides but no Marina.

Margaret dont take life so seriously it was a bit of fun and in the past i have taken my fair share of nasty comments but hey it would take more than anything that happens on here to upset me its only banter at its worse
No, to wasn't fun and you know it! It was reminiscent of past times when a particularly nasty poster used to make similar comments. They are not needed and not wanted.
I was speaking to a resident yesterday about the play park and Dawlish in general and a comment was made that said it all. It went like this "i used to holiday here 20 years ago sit in the sunshine with my kids on the lawns feed the ducks and enjoy the peace and quiet and i want it to stay like that i dont want anything to change"
A little fun come on Margaret its not exactly caustic is it, any way i will be of walking the northern hills and mountains in a few days but will be back for Christmas.
This forum is descending into what it was before a certain person was banned! You know, none of us could voice our own opinions without caustic comments like the one above from Leatash. I can guess who agreed with them - the banned person using yet another name!
Well, it's worth a try! It's a while since I did an FOI, the last one was about the closure of the toilets at Dawlish Warren!
