I don't know who these people are either. What's the big deal? Providing they are acting for the good of Dawlish and abstain from decisions that benefit themselves that's fine by me. We need people with commercial insight otherwise you end up with parochial types trying to hamper progress. If however Fred or Margaret are suggesting that there is a conflict of interest in how they conduct ...
No cycling - I get why it needs to be like that but I do think it's a shame - Dawlish would see more visitors if they could cycle in along the flat. Come to think of it, soon it'll all be on one level with a puncture-free concrete section, might even flout it myself.
So just clothes? Am surprised. I'm not their target market but I'd have thought better food concessions would improve the offering to visitors.

I agree with you Margaret, but it's hardly an insightful observation deserving of such self-congratulation!
Hope they take it to a vet who will know if it's microchipped.
Enforced absence? Was it at the pleasure of Her Majesty then?
Would be interested to know if any of our Town Councillors are considering standing for TDC.
The question is not what the issues are but why they weren't resolved as originally promised. The insurance shortfall is a smokescreen, if the money was there they still couldn't do it because they haven't organised it properly. Not long after the fire I read that the Holmans were pleased with the new plans so what stopped TDC - why wasn't planning permission obtained and the work scheduled? ...
