On a not unrelated subject (ie play parks) see this minute from the meeting of the town council's Civic Amenities Committee held last month. My italics in bold. PLAY PARK AT CARHAIX WAY The Clerk advised that he had made enquiries of Teignbridge District Council who had confirmed they would no longer be taking on a maintenance role for any newly constructed play parks across the ...
@DEEDOODLE 1. Have you sent your thoughts above to any/all of those who sit on the new Lawn Working Party? 2. The police and councils (and any other bodies that are funded from the public purse - eg the NHS) can only do what their finances allow them to do. If their finances are cut back then so are the services they can provide.
".......... initially we are seeking YOUR thoughts and views. Later there will of course be a Public Consultation however, right now we need to know what YOU think. "
Although ........on reflection...........and given the amount of rain we've had and how sodden the ground is .....perhaps the Lawn should become a post Brexit paddy field.
Not being defensive in the least. Entirely up to people whom they contact (if they choose to contact anyone at all). As and when I get information on this subject I will post it on here.
Given that the sender makes a point of requesting that the text be shared - see last line- who it got sent to originally is not relevant. It is doing 'the rounds'. That is why I posted it on here. I could just as easily not have done so. Why not send your opinions to them all if you are so worried.
I have received this: DTC LAWN WORKING PARTY A working party has been convened by Dawlish Town Council and which also includes representatives from other organisations in Dawlish. The aim of this group is to bring forward a vision for the future of The Lawn to bring forward to Teignbridge District Council, the landowners, for the long -term future of this much -loved green ...
It seems that there is a sum of £20,000 from GWR towards the cost of the playpark but this money is time limited to April 2019. (although September 2019 was also mentioned in the town council meeting). This sum is less than 10% of the total required which is in excess of £240,000. The town council already has a total of £120,000 funds that can be committed to the playpark project. The ...
@Willkiner - yes you are correct. There is indeed some time-limited money available. Issues concerning money were supposed to be talked about in part B of the last town council meeting but some councillors seemed to forget that (or perhaps they didn't ........?) and spoke about it in the open part of the meeting.
