Dawlish Central and North East ward is a Teignbridge District Ward. It returns three District councillors. These were elected in early May. All three are Conservative and are Cllrs Mayne, Hockin and Price. Dawlish North East ward (which includes Cockwood) is a Dawlish Town Council ward. I believe it returns three Dawlish town councillors. Cllr Wrigley is one of those councillors. If you want ...
Just been reading through this thread. It's gone off topic (so what's new?) but would just point out that whilst I have no idea of who is what on Cockwood Residents Association, who it represents and why etc, Cllr Wrigley was democratically elected only 5 or 6 weeks ago to represent Dawlish North East ward (which includes Cockwood) on Dawlish Town Council. Did no-one in Cockwood vote for him then?
I have absolutely no idea what the pro and con arguments are concerning Cockwood breaking away from Dawlish but could well imagine the prospect of a reduction in council tax (if indeed that could be offered) might well persuade some people to vote for such a proposal. Anyhow don't people already pay different levels of council tax depending on the size and location of the properties they live ...
So.....people shouldn't stand for election to councils unless they have done years of meaningful service to their community? Just putting aside how 'meaningful service' should be defined, if we are talking years of it then I guess that would rule out many of the younger generation. What are you suggesting? Gerontocratic councils throughout the land?
P'raps someone should contact one of the three Dawlish councillors who represent Dawlish Warren on TDC? How about this one?

"Meteoric rise to become district councillors" Do you mean like one of the Dawlish Tory councillors who was elected last month to both TDC and DTC and who, to the best of my knowledge, has never been a councillor before? I have never understood this knocking people who are politically ambitious - whatever party they represent. Of course they are ambitious - to be politicians and to see ...

Want to put that in a letter to the Gazette, Fred? Also - try contacting Humphrey Clemens. He is not only a Dawlish Teignbridge councillor (albeit for Dawlish South West ward) but was chair of TDC planning committee 2011-2015 and is now an executive member of TDC council with the portfolio for housing and planning. So will be for him to make sure the required amount of SANGS for all this new ...
Just out of curiousity I typed in What Do They Know Peter Harry and clicked on search. And sure enough it seems PH is still at it. Last FOI request/correspondence involving PH seems to have been but only earlier this year with North Yorkshire Police.
