@leatash = they dont have a plan, they just keep applying for grants off sustrans in order to destroy the road network arond dawlish. nobody gets a say about cycle paths they have just become a cash cow for local government. at the end of the day its still public money thats being spent and the public should have a say. DCC still havent got over loosing the vote on pedestrianising the Strand ...

Residents of the Warren need to write en-mass to the Department of Transport to object and report the road as now being unfit for purpose and dangerous.

It's hard to see the coherent strategy in this. Much work continues in Lanherne to channelling the track down to the station. I thought I had read that the station was the end of the track, at least until Dawlish to Teignmouth/Teignmouth to Newton route along the river had been resolved. Where does this new track come from/go to? And why?

@Warrior - what new road layout? where?

Well said Carer.

As many will know, Tuck's Plot mini-golf course is Teignbridge District Council owned and run. Last summer, proposals for a new cycle path crossing Tuck's Plot were shown by DCC to Dawlish Town Council members by way of consultation. At this consultation, suggestions for alternative uses for the somewhat dilapidated site allowing the area to be more attractively landscaped were proposed ...

Well unlike motorists cyclists require a perfect surface to cycle on but then for some reason that probably only God knows they return to the pothole ridden roads to play chicken with motor vehicles.
