I keep being told by those who went to this 'consultation' that there was no means by which comments about what is being proposed could be left at the time. No recording of who visited and how they could be contacted. In fact no written records of any kind were made. Is that right? In which case can I urge all those who have comments to make on these proposals to do so directly to TDC ...
And why was this, whatever you want to call it, held in the busy reception area of the leisure centre when literally just down the road is the Red Rock Centre, a community building remember(!), whose ground floor is no longer used? Surely the ground floor of the Red Rock would have been so much more of an appropriate location for such a public event?
There is a town council meeting this coming Wednesday. Item 14 on the agenda concerns the town council's response to this consultation. http://www.dawlish.gov.uk/edit/uploads/1608.pdf It will be interesting to see what the town council has to say.
I was out of town when the 'consultation' took place. However, I have asked some who attended what they thought of it. Lots of words beginning with 'f' (eg fiasco, futile, farcical). And the letters page of this week's Gazette seems to confirm that impression.
Any chance you could do a similar 'for posterity' photo shoot over Secmaton/Gatehouse way?

Looks like it will be a Cavanna development. http://www.cavannahomes.co.uk/developments/dawlish
and can you just imagine the media frenzy if he hadn't turned up? (I can!)
In which case I'd say that might just say it all about TDC and its future planning abilities.
So.....if Jeremy Corbyn is an atheist and a republican it makes sense to me that he didn't sing. He stood respectfully silent. If he had sung that would have made him a hypocrite. And we don't want politicians who are hypocrites, do we? Perish the thought!
