From the press release: Funding for the project has come from: £1.3 million from the Coastal Communities Fund £89,000 (section 106) developer contributions from development in Dawlish £10,000 from Dawlish Town Council Land, from Teignbridge District Council.
Uh oh, here comes the cavalry. OP said ' Hopefully the selected photos will be more than the usual tired clichés such as Black Swans on the brook'. More than doesn't exclude them. You and your sister seem to struggle with the English language. It's a fair point. Lovely as they are, Dawlish should have more to celebrate than just the swans.
I'd read about it but wasn't aware of the location. I just had a quick look at the planning application - pages and pages of documents but sorry to say it passed me by at the time. Maybe when it's not on your doorstep it holds less significance, then it's too late. I hope as they say it will be out of sight, it would be a shame if it scarred such a beautiful vista.
Yes, your paranoia seems to be leaping off the screen at us!
Actually Burneside, I think you're putting the cart before the horse. Mrs C's real identity would inevitably be revealed if your allegations of libel were to be pursued in the first place. It is possible to defame a pseudonym but it's a complex area where in the final analysis damages awarded would have to make it a worthwhile case to bring.

Lynne when you say 'much to the amazement etc' do you mean a third party applied for and was granted planning permission on Mr Weeks land without his knowledge or consent? Is that possible? Or do you mean it was done with his consent but he was just surprised it was granted?
Their answer to Question 2 effectively says it's not within their power to draw visitors away from the Warren reserve. So why on earth are they even attempting to do it? What a nonsensical position to be in.
Just your opinion Burneside. In my opinion the comment was quite clearly in the context of 'nowt so queer as folk' directed at you and your sister for your petty argument with JC over the main route into Paddington. You're cynically contriving it oherwise because, let's face It, Dorian has taken Margaret to task over her behaviour as a councillor and this is your way of settling the score. Now ...
