That was a commitment in the coalition agreement, but within months, both Steve Webb and Iain Duncan Smith were proposing changing women's state pension age for 2016.' Altmann says she explained to them in 2011 why older ...

@leatash , your last sentence says it all! at least when there was a proposal to build the slug on the lawn there was a full and open consultation with presentations in various places across the whole parish. people did know about the proposals and far many more than 680 completed questionnaires and voted not to build on the lawn.
Matt - Permission for a land train has been sought from individuals in the recent past and permission has been refused as has permission for various attractions on the beach.

Has anyone considered using a land train, a visitor attraction that is used in Torquay ( Ist Jan - 31st Dec ) This could be used not only as an added attraction for dawlish that I am certain visitors (and locals) would enjoy, especially if there was a drop off point at the Manor Play Park & lawns. Doing this, if it was cost effective, would save disrupting our lovely lawn, a ...
