Wishing everyone a peaceful Christmas and every happiness in 2015 for Dawlish and all of us lucky enough to live here
I'm going to be forever grateful for Dawlish.com, I'm sure you all have seen a lot of Margaret and I, and can form your own opinions about us. Returning to the matter in hand. I referred in a posting earlier in this thread to the questions I had posed to TDC about their handling of the Warren Farm / SANGS / Coastal Park situation. These are the questions I asked and the verbatim ...
Hi Lynne From my experience, that just isn't the way ot works. There has not been a single word from anyone (Politician or Officer) at Teignbridge to exercise any kind of influence on town councillors to keep quiet about Warren Farm. Rather the opposite, we have been left well out of any briefings and are no more informed than anyone else. So, hand on heart there is no question of ...
I think you need to look under the headlines Lynne and question how far each of these NPs has got in practice. For example, Teignmouth Councillor David Cox wrote these comments on Twitter (3 December 2014) "Dawlish Council well ahead on neighbourhood plan - putting Teignmouth Council to shame. #procrastination" and "Abbot'k legal challenge does not seem to have stopped ...
@Lynne Just to ensure we are all at the same point of understanding, these neighbourhood plans are still in the development process. As I understand it, none have been through a referendum yet (Exminster is likely to be the first as it has passed the Independent Examination stage). Dawlish has already had one Independent Examination, and was rejected because it had been produced before ...
Please everyone, this is going too far. That was an old message from Carer and since then he has written many polite and encouraging messages to me. You all know that Robert Vickery and I are partners, and I am more than happy to think that Carer's opinions have changed over the past couple of years. I do think that queer is an ugly word best consigned to history, whether intended ...
Welcome to Dawlish Paul there are various literary groups in town, if you google the open daw centre and find the contact details, their co-ordinator Angie runs a poetry group When in Dawlish, pop into the Manor House Community Centre. There is a regular book group loads of other activities in town, no excuse to be bored!
To be fair, I think all Dawlish councillors are concerned by this situation, and I doubt I am the only person asking pointed questions.
I think it worth adding to Robert's comments that this report was considered by the Town Council in March 2012 and was supported by all councillors present (Including Margaret Swift). It required us to fill in a lot of gaps about what TDC intended with a Coastal Park. Unfortunately, nearly three years on those gaps are largely unfilled. Hence Robert's criticism of the failure of TDC to invest ...
In all fairness Margaret, you should also have said that when we have had additional evening meetings, you've complained about these I totally get that your work commitments impact on your ability to attend meetings, and I've never criticised you for that. Nor do I criticise others who can't attend for other reasons. We are all people with busy lives, doing our best. I do think it ...
