Planning permission granted.

I think she was also very active in the campaign (started circa 2013) to stop Warren Farm being compulsory purchased by TDC to provide a countryside park (which is now located out by Sainsbury's). Don't know what her stance was on the location of the Dawlish supermarket battle (circa 2007/8/9). Which isn't to say that she wasn't involved but just that I can't remember her being so. I was. History: ...

To return to the original subject in the first post of this thread - how can we support the NHS? I imagine that means how can we, as individuals, help support, right now, in this present time, the NHS? Well, how about doing whatever we can to avoid becoming a Covid patient? Here are some thoughts (and no apologies if it sounds preachy - the question was asked and I am giving some answers). 1. Get ...

The government announced late last month (Dec. 2020) that it will not now be proceeding with these proposals.

See my very first post on this thread - last sentence regarding owners building an extra storey on properties. Just been looking at an Appeal document submitted by planners at TDC  regarding this issue (see https://dawlish.com/thread/details/47069 ) . This is what they say: (my emphasis in bold). "A (enlargement of a dwellinghouse by construction of additional storeys) of the Town and Country ...

Pre Jan 1st 2021 stockpiling anyone?

@Epicurus & @Don Pearson And there was I beginning to think "Can I be arsed anymore?". Praise indeed. Lovely to see both of you making your rare postings on this site. I for one would love to see you post more not least because I do feel a little 'lonely' on here sometimes.

What was causing it? Sounded like something was being rhythmically bashed against something else by waves.

Dawlish Town Council's planning committee came up with the following suggestions: Following discussion, suggested names be provided as follows: ·         Bewick’s ·         Trumpeter ·         Whistling ·         Whooper ·         Calm Waters ·         Cygnet

Mayoral Christmas Hamper Nominations Christmas is a time for giving and thinking of others. This year has been a difficult year with many people isolating and having spent a lot of time on their own. To spread joy in the local parish Cllr Alison Foden the Mayor of Dawlish has decided she will be giving away 20 Christmas Hampers this year. All those receiving the hampers will have been nominated by ...

more info: Dawlish Virtual Santa Dawlish Town Council wanted to make sure that children in the parish did not miss out on meeting Father Christmas this year. As we cannot have the normal face to face meeting as part of the Festive weekend, we are working with Waggle Events so children living in the EX7 postcode area can have an individual virtual meeting with the very special Dawlish Santa. Be in ...

Not at all sure what you mean by that expression. So I googled it in case it is an idiom of some kind that I had never heard of. Seems it is, but I'm still none the wiser as to what you are trying to say.

Donations to Helping Dawlish Helping Dawlish is a collaboration of 12 organisations including the Town Council working together during the Cov-id 19 pandemic. Their website is at www.helpingdawlish.co.uk . Donations for Helping Dawlish are managed by the Town Council. If you are making a donation towards Helping Dawlish please put Helping Dawlish in the reference. This means the funds only go ...

Just to add that as well as the town council recommending refusal, it (the town council's planning committee) also wished for the application to be decided by  TDC's planning committee rather than a TDC planning officer if the planning officer was inclined to agree to the planning application. However, it seems that as the request for the planning app to go to TDC's plannng committee was not ...

Don't know if anyone will be at the Sally Army premises in Brunswick St, T'mouth wef from tomorrow. Went along there today and the building is in the process of being refurbished, No-one from the SA there and notice on door directs callers to their Newton Abbot premises. Is any organisation in Dawlish collecting Christmas gifts for local needy children? If so, please post on here.

Dawlish Community Larder Helping Dawlish is aware that some people are self-isolating or are still being impacted by the effects of the lockdown on their finances, families, businesses, mental and physical health and may require support. The food bank (which operated until July) has become a community larder which can support people in immediate need of food whether due to a medical need or social ...

Only a couple of weeks ago the government whipped its MPs to vote against extending the free school meal scheme in England during the school holidays up to and including the Easter school holidays 2021. Now it seems its changed its mind. (again) "The DWP confirmed the £170m worth of winter grants would be administered by councils in England rather than schools. The funding will be ring-fenced, ...

Just a reminder that the boot fair will be running today - Thursday 17th September at Warren Farm, Dawlish Warren. 1-4pm

Just been told that my NHS dental check up has been cancelled. Only emergency treatment available. So I asked if that would be the same if I was a private patient. Told "No, if you were a private patient you could have a check-up". So I said "Nothing to do with health and safety then, all to do with money". Receptionist said she appreciated how bad that sounded but NHS dental guidelines is that ...

So I asked a leader of a local council what the situation was/is with regard to these new fangled Street Marshals given as I am led to understand that local councils will be responsible for them and this is what I was told: "As you appreciate, the Government made its announcement late last week. As far as I am aware there is no Government funding for Covid Street Marshalls. The new 'gatherings of ...

On the subject of house building numbers. This is from the December 2019 Conservative party general election manifesto: " we will continue our progress towards our target of 300,000 homes a year by the mid-2020s. This will see us build at least a million more homes, of all tenures, over the next Parliament ".

Saw an interview with the editor of the Lancet yesterday. And Jonathan Van Tam on tv this morning. Both saying more or less the same thing. Seems it is young people who are spreading the disease now but not only amongst themselves. For when they go home they then spread it to other, older, members of their families. I think it was Matt Hancock who recently used the phrase "Don't kill your ...

Planning permission has been granted.

That the man has been arrested shows that he is not above the law.

@Daverc I think the bit of seawall path that will be closed for five days is the length that they have been working on for the past months but which they opened for the tourist season but then will close again in order to finish off the work. That's the bit that runs from the viaduct to Coryton Cove. Then there is the next piece of the work running from the Colonnade (where the pigeons roost) up ...
