@leatash - you seem to be missing the point that not one question asked if anyone wanted a play park on the lawn. I am in favour of true democracy, but the basis for this play park is on a one sided set of questions that did not let those who took part answer that they did NOT want it. I and several others who DID take part catagorically put in the comments section of several questions ...
What i would like to know is how many Dawlish residents use the lawn on a regular basis now i have been here 33 years and have spent no more than 1 or 2 hours on the Lawn yes it's a nice green space and visitors love it, and it's used for a few events but most of the time it's just there empty and green. It strikes me that these days folk are not happy with any result that involves a vote Brexit, ...
This makes the 1hour and 50 minutes I was sat on a plane (it having missed its take off slot due to delays) at Bristol Airport the other week followed by the 1 hour sat on a plane at Palma de Mallorca airport when coming back pale into insignificance. And bear in mind that such delays are more than likely to increase when we have left the EU. ...
Anti-pollution campaigners, Surfers Against Sewage, (SAS) sent out real time text alerts through its Safer Seas app warning people that the sea may pose a risk to their health in some areas.

F&GP met about 10 days ago to discuss, amongst other things, possible funding streams for the the building of the playpark. I have no idea which of the councillors below attended the meeting but if anyone reading this post wants to know the outcome of the committee's deliberations then ...
I see two faces in the picture shown in that link of people who are presently councillors. Recently elected Cllr Mawhood and elected wef 2011 (I think) Cllr Terry Lowther. Try them? I have no idea where either of them stand on the playpark issue. Or you could try the National Association of Local Councils http://www.nalc.gov.uk/contact-us
Anyone know how to intiate a parish poll. If the only way to put a stop to the nonsense of the play park on the Lawn is to start this process I would like to know what is involved and how it can be initiated. It certainly worked on the issue of the Manor House !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have checked on the internet and am no wiser. ...
Thanks for sharing that about Tucks Plot. IIRC, this is confirmation of what was mooted earlier this year or late last year. Hopefully a business will take on the lease and create an Adventure Golf course like the excellent ones at the Warren and (dare I say it) Teignmouth.
On page 72 of this week's Dawlish Post there are lots of public notices one of which states the following: Local Government Act 1972 Section 123 (1), (2A) Disposal of Interest in Open Space NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN under section 123 (2A) of the Local Government Act 1972 that Teignbridge Distict Council intends to dispose of an interest in two areas of open space at the ...
