TDC is trotting out the same excuse they gave last year - they want to replace the cafe with something 'bigger and better', with running water and electricity. That's obviously good however they've yet to figure out how to do it due to 'budgets' and 'staff shortages'. If they ever do figure it out it will no doubt be delayed even further by planning applications and NR access restrictions. ...
You mean set the wheels of 'The Big Society' in motion? That would be a very strong message to TDC.
Bet it wouldn't have happened if it had been in Teignmouth, TDC care more about that place. How short is the insurance money? Maybe the Town Council could divert the 5k they will otherwise flush down the Carnival toilet. Rock Pool Cafe presents Dawlish far more positively.

Isn't that what'll happen anyway as part of their electioneering campaigns? I doubt you'll be able to escape from them. Edit - found this from 2010 election. Shame they're not still available. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00sb34t

Self publish as a beautifully illustrated book, donate some to local primary schools, sell in local shops, put it in the museum and hope it's still around for generations to come, or at the very least as a memento of a memorable year. ...
Just saw it on Spotlight (including the unfortunately captioned 'Breaking Wind'). Looked like the path splits into two at Lanherne, one strand running along High St to Costcutter. Be interested to see what they can do along that road other than install a green stripe. If if the seawall is not going to be sympathetically restored to a Victorian seawall, in the long term maybe they could ...
Ha, you're very kind Lynn, thanks:) How many banners will there be? The swans could bookend them, the mangled rail could even be a motif linking them all, but as JC said, they need to be dynamic. Is there anything historic about Dawlish that is not widely known to visitors - Dawlish being the main cultivator of Devon violets and the 'birthplace' of Nicholas Nickelby etc? I love the ...
