Hi Paul. Good luck with your fundraising - your efforts at drumming up support are really admirable and should be a lesson to others. However, whilst I cannot claim to be speaking for others, I myself suggest that you might do even better if you posted about your fundraising on just the one thread, rather than five different ones at the same time. I'm not having a pop, honestly, just trying to be ...
The first mention of "PCN's" on Willo's thread, was by you 10 or so mins ago. I was only trying to seek clarification. Ultimately, we need rigorously enforced parking limits - which I'm glad to see that we have.
But, with all due respect, you are again confusing the matter by referring to "parking ticket income". Do you mean income from bought tickets or from issued tickets?
Surely the fact that its not self financing means that enforcement works?! Or would you prefer to see an extra £600K a year in fines for illegal parking?

Although it will need enforcing and will ...
It's £600K on parking enforcement, not on parking per se. Without enforcement, it would be a chaotic free for all - ANARCHY!
Good luck Paul.
@jabdc5 . did you visit the auction during your recent 'break' here?
Did you go into Baileys and ask them? Or did you phone up the bodies you mentioned?
Is there such a thing as 'Friends of Dawlish Station'? Or would that involve people getting off their arses instead of moaning all the time?
'Awesome' on Queen Street has everything that a sk8tr boi (or grrrrl) could wish for. It also sells a wide range of scooters - sorry Ethel, not mobility scooters, but the two-wheeled variety for kids of all ages. A belated welcome to Dawlish.
