Bump

Just to be absolutely clear, the Brook Lights are not being removed.   The suggestion is that they are replaced by modern LED versions that are more resilient to the rise and fall of the water levels, and will look more attractive in daylight than the Heath Robinson version of straggling lines that is currently there.    They will also be multi coloured, not monochrome as claimed in the newspaper

I'd like to think that an improved facility on the Lawn has many more uses than just a few large events per year. For example, just yesterday I went to see an amazing rehearsal by students of the Community College, Ratcliffe School and Oaklands Park School.  It was stunning, exciting music and a fantastic collaboration by the students involved.  The new facility would provide the ...

It's a fair question, but the police are not objecting to music events.   This is a very specific situation involving Party in the Park.  As Andysport says, we need to see what the outcome is.  There is a detailed discussion that needs to be had, and I would hope that "Draconian measures" never become the norm. i feel gutted for the Legion.  As a town council we have worked with them, ...

Dan Force and the team at the Brunswick are going to be heavily involved, and I know from the meeting we had with Carnival Committee that they are really grateful for this help.  It means a lot of work before and during the event to ensure that the race will go well. ...

The Town Council's Finance Committee approved a grant of £5,000 for the Carnival at a meeting today. Why did we do this?  A mixture of reasons.  We have always understood that Carnival week is an important week for local families, a chance for everyone to have fun and enjoy being part of a community.   We also know that events like these in the town centre are greatly prized by local ...

Nat West Dawlish

I'm interested to read about Minehead, and would like to know more about how it compares to Dawlish. One of the biggest challenges for our town is the sheer geography of our town centre.  Walking around the Strand and Brunswick, it is readily apparent why major name retailers would struggle to find premises here.  Where would Primark or Clark's Shoes find a home?  The comparison to the ...
