This will effect families in Dawlish. “Asked in April by a concerned young mother whether the Conservatives would cut tax credits for families with children, a nervous David Cameron , chasing votes on the BBC’s Question Time special, sounded clear enough before the general election. “No, I don’t want to do that,” Cameron said. A sceptical David Dimbleby wondered if he could ...
SOCIAL CARE U-TURN: In July the government announced it was delaying until 2020 plans to limit bills for residential care to £72,000 – a key measure to protect people from huge bills. The Department of Health said it was still “firmly committed” to the cap, but questions are now being raised about whether the policy needs rethinking. Impact: Currently those with assets above £23,250 do not get ...
@A Frame - Have you had a response yet from TDC re the e-mail you sent Nicola Bulbeck about this matter?
@Andysport -The issue that is in dispute is that councillors at Dawlish Town Council were under the impression that all the toilets in that block would be kept open this summer pending the award of the tender and the consequent development of the block into 2/3 toilets and a commercial premises (cycle hire). However, as we all now know the toilets in that block were not kept open by TDC ...
When is the public consultation due to take place? I read that TDC were urging that it should take place as soon as possible (like starting early this month) but it is now the 8th and I haven't seen any publicity at all. Was this matter discussed at the town council planning committee at its meeting on Thursday? If so, and it was discussed in the public part of the meeting, could someone who ...
@Woodcock Alternative SANGS - the issue as far as I am concerned re Warren Farm is that Richard Weeks has made it clear to TDC that he has no wish to sell his land. It may be that another farmer or 'farmer' some where else may not have that problem. Or indeed that alternative SANGS land is land that is not used for farming (is the land around Langdon Hospital used for farming?) or that ...
I scan read the TDC online info concerning tendering. I was getting bored with it all and like I said I scan read it but I'm pretty certain it said, somewhere, that unsuccessful tenderers would not only be informed that they were unsuccessful but also why. So if I am correct in that, Bob B should have been informed why his tender was unsuccessful (which doesn't help him at all I know, but ...
@flo b) means, as I understand it, that the proposed community centre which is scheduled to be built somewhere within the new build housing developments will now be scrapped and instead it is proposed that money to the tune of £1000 per new dwelling will be provided by all the developers towards keeping the Red Rock Centre going.
Well given that that the TDC procurement officer told me that the contract etc was presently being sorted out with the successful tenderer and it was hoped that all would be sorted by the end of the summer, unless that successful tenderer has subsequently dropped out then yes, I would imagine that it is too late for this matter to be given further consideration. Blimey what sort of council ...
I do not know the way people voted, or why, any more than you do. All I know is that the two Lib Dem candidates (who are now two Lib Dem town councillors) , vote wise, appear to have swum against the electoral tide. @All - anyone still reading this extremely long thread? I'd be amazed if you are.
