Did you find anything relating to Dawlish events in the review of 2010 in the Dawlish Post? Was there a mention of the uproar and referendum over the proposed closing down of the Manor House, the visit of Princess Sophie to open the amazing youth facility of the Red Rock centre, Sandy Lane, or the rescue of two girls from the sea wall by young men of Dawlish? I couldn't find them, but I did find ...
Please keep UKIP off these boards.
1 The new centre is being equipped and got ready for September use. 2 The centre will be 'opened' officially on September 10th 3 The building will be open to the Public on September 11th, Saturday, when you can satisfy your curiosity, use your imagination and suggest how you'd like to see it contribute to life in Dawlish. I think eyes will boggle and faces outside the town will turn green with ...
But it's not going to vanish. It's going to get BIGGER and that terrrible orange fascia isn't going. Do look at the plans and see that they want to build a permanent enclosure right out to the edge of pavement.

There's a real danger for all of the low price merchants because they are going to be the hardest hit by a supermarket. Does anyone remember John Lord presenting the 'yellow book' proposals at the Shaftesbury Theatre, when he told us that Dawlish needs to broaden its appeal and for shops to become more specialised or move up-market to avoid direct competition with Tesco or Sainsbury? It's a really ...
If you want to be involved in Dawlish don't expect it to come voluntarily from the Town Council. Some of us have asked to be involved in drawing up the brief for a 'feasibility study' which the Town Council wants to run on whether to keep the Manor House. We think it ought to start with the (hardly ever publicised) Parish Strategy which intended to build 'New Municipal Offices' (wot! like Exeter ...
And now you won't have to, unless they are successful with their appeal to be heard in May by a Planning Inspector. Here's where we all have a part to play, to object to the grounds for their appeal and to reinforce the argument that only one store is justified for Dawlish at this size (by the way, the figures quoted for floor space in other mailings are on two different bases, one for nett sales ...
