Monty, I couldn't agree more with your post. I myself have had an ongoing problem many, many times with groups of screaming drunken yobs disturbing my sleep between the hours 11pm-2am. I often make an assessment of the situation before calling the 101 number as at one time we were all young, I normally give it until midnight before i call. Now I know what you are going to say that it's a waste of ...

LN, the same 2008 report also states that the land between the unsightly bandstand and the bowling green is "something of a dead space". In my opinion, the proposed play park would bring it to live. And with it retain and gain business within the town. To compare the little playground at the manor with the fun play park in Teignmouth is frankly like comparing chalk and cheese. Hopefully the ...

So..........let's just say, for the sake of argument, that a play park on the lawn was a non starter but that there was still a demand for a playpark in the centre of the town - somewhere. I have heard the site of Tuck's Plot mentioned by others. Now here's the thing. We all know that it is where there is a crazy golf amenity. But is it cost effective? Might the site be used for other ...

@Lynne - i belive they erretced all those stainless steels signposts around the lawn after this document was originally posted. i would have thought that those were visual clutter. as to the play park on the lawn, if parents are to lazy to walk a couple of hundred yards to the current playpark. they certainly should not be rewarded with another play park on the lawn to reward them for their ...

@monty - i was on my way home, some time ago,  from work at 02:30hrs and as i came up to the landsdown i was confronted by at least a mob of 20-30 screaming yobs. they seem to be filtering out of the landsdown towards some bloke who was running straight towards me. i made a quick exit to the left in my car and put my foot down. god forbid what might have ensued if i had been walking or on a push ...

Why when Dawlish is trying to encourage families to Dawlish, do the licensing commities allow pubs ie. the landsdown to have a late licence, despite numrous complaints to the police about abusive behaviou.Vomiting, urinating screaming foul mouthed abuse , fighting etc all in a residential area. It is like the Wild West on a Friday night. Drugs are rife and yet nothing is done. I understand the ...

Just been up East Cliff Road to do a job, and seen 14 No Parking Bollards outside of homes. Plus an Old Boat that's been in the road for years, if it was a Car it would have been moved long ago.

on 13TH Aug. on another thread which had wandered onto the subject of the playpark Gary Taylor posted this (but my emphasis in red bold): "This is the relevant extract from the Sainsbury's S106 town centre developer contribution document: £200,000 towards "projects aimed at sustaining the vitality and viability of Dawlish town centre and including works to meet objectives ...

Does anyone else think that this might be connected with the crackdown on unsocial drinkers/druggies, the reasoning being that if you take away all their gathering points, the problem might cease to exist. Once again, it seems that everyone else has to suffer inconvenience for the actions of a few, or am I seeing conspiracy where there isn't one?
