Well maybe its time we consulted some of the old timers it could be they have knowledge of other old routes that could be reinstated. I am far from a expert in planning but if the road is already there maybe it would ease the planing procedures
Lynne there is always money most recently millions where found to go back to weekly bin collections. Divert that amount it would be more than enough to build a relief road of course as we have previously discussed it needs to be on higher ground but knowing our planers it wont happen until we are treading water. I was talking to one of our very senior citizens earlier today about this very subject ...
Saw a Taxi this morning taking kids to school on his mobile tried to get his number to report him but he was going to fast. Cab drivers generally have some really bad driving habits last week one overtook me on Exeter road they should be taken of the road and never allowed in a Taxi again
Most Horse Chestnuts in the area have Leaf Minor disease and looking at the blotchy leaves in the summer i would guess the ones on the lawn are affected. Although this disease doesn't kill the tree immediately it will weaken trees they can then get bleeding canker i have recently had to fell a large Horse Chestnut with the same problem. The chances are that there will be very few Horse Chestnuts ...
Lynne you are of course correct about the train moving inland but so will the road maybe there will be a connection between the two so if we except that to be the case the good people of Starcross whose homes will be under water will need to move. and keeping that thought some areas of Dawlish will suffer the same fate maybe we should be pushing the planners to look forward not 20 years but 80 and ...
I signed up on the River Cottage Land share scheme and had a offer within 6 weeks i now have a great veg garden in return for cutting the owners grass once a month try it you may just be lucky
Well Lynne i honestly dont know but they certainly wont be jobs in the locall area more likely to be people who work further afield who want the Dawlish lifestile but may work in London Bristol. I have a friend who lives here but works in the City four days a week he goes by train Sunday evening and returns Thursday evening his wife and children stay here he earns in excess of 100,000 a year and ...
When i first moved to Dawlish some 20 odd years ago it was a thriving town you could in them days buy most things you needed without going to Newton or Exeter a far cry from how it is today there is little left and part of that not all is due to the lack of expansion. Dawlish has stood still for to long the reasons are a small percentage of the population have stood against anything that is likely ...
How nuch space do they need to put in echelon parking i havent measured the distance from the wall to the trees but it has to be 15 feet or more. I would have thought that they wouldnt have to widen the Strand by more than 6 or 7 feet or am i missing something
Looking forward will we not need more homes in the next 20 years for our children who want to stay in Dawlish. I haven't done any research but i estimate there are about 1200 or more children in Schools at present maybe some of those will need housing when they fly the nest. As for the problems with traffic its going to increase its something we have to live with. To put it into context i recently ...
