Hear hear Ziggy. Spot on.
I found the carnival a bit disappointing to be honest. Not much in it at all, what was there was good, really good some of it but not many taking part this year.
They were grounded in Bournemouth. They were going to do a display there before coming to Dawlish. Bournemouth had terrible weather with their airshow cancelled and the Red Arrows were grounded.
What a shame the weather cut it short. But as usual well organised, good displays. Well done Air Show Committee.
Thanks Lynne, I am aware that DTC are consultees only regarding planning issues. As for why Cllr Vickery is still so keen on that project - perhaps kudos, pet project whatever but I think it's time to move on.

These projects will have little or no impact or benefit on the life and livlihoods of the ...
I don't know Lynne, I consider myself quite ordinary and average. Not university educated, not earning loads of money, just normal. I've tried having a voice and an opinion but I've been the only one sometimes. Perhaps part of the problem is that those who most need to speak up are to busy getting through the day to day grind of everyday life...
Doh!
I find it incredibly frustrating that small groups of people that supposedly represent us, the residents of Dawlish, are making decisions about the future of our town without full consultation or even fully informing us. But one of the things that wind me up no end is that repeatedly the same people with their own views are constantly on these 'steering groups', I'm not confident that they ...
