Majorp - where was this confirmed please. Would be interested to read more.
When compared with a play park, a single purpose bandstand is most definitely for the few not the many. How often would it be used by local bands? And how many people will sit in deckchairs watching them? Where's the substance to your assertion please?
I wonder how many potential visitors are put off by all the negative posts on dawlish.com about a few drunks etc? A replacement bandstand for the few not the many is, by the logic previously used, also "same old, same old". The area of the Lawn that a new playpark would take up is less than 10%, not the laughable 33% made up off the top of the head of the previous poster. I'm ...
Majorp - who told you that the countryside park was a good place to dispose of old cars? And would you rather DCC leave fly-tipping where it is or collect it ASAP (even though they don't have to)?
Loads of two-legged and four-legged visitors had a great time yesterday at the official opening. And from what I understand, the feedback was very positive and enthusiastic - which is often the case when I speak with many people from Dawlish who have a healthily positive outlook to life.
Would I be right in thinking that there is a large sum of money that has to be spent on new facilities on the Lawn, by a fast-approaching date, else that money is lost forever? A new multi-purpose bandstand has been put to bed forever, and a single function bandstand would be for the few not the many. Meanwhile the imaginatively designed play park would be used by far more people year round ...
There is no furore. All it is is that there are few people who are unhappy about this, and it's the same old people who are always unhappy about everything that's ever proposed to improve Dawlish.
My take on the matter is that the assumption being made is that if you voted "No" to all of the suggested locations, then that meant that you didn't want a play park on the lawn at all.
The respondents were asked to declare whether they were Dawlish residents or non-Dawlish residents. So it should say "76.9% of respondents from Dawlish voted in favour...".
Thanks Lynne.
