A thread was running on Eyes of Dawlish earlier today concerning child minders in Dawlish. It seems we now only have two childminders in Dawlish and two in Starcross. All four are full.

DCC/4333/2023 - Dawlish Community College, Elm Grove Road Location: Dawlish Community College, Elm Grove Road, Dawlish Proposal: The demolition of an existing teaching block to be replaced with a new teaching Applicant: Ms Paula McCree Web Link: https://planning.devon.gov.uk/PlanDisp.aspx?AppNo=DCC/4333/2023&cuuid=AD18F2D7-5638-41EE-B3E9-069D5E5887EB

Text of Cllr Gary Taylor's report to DTC Full Council meeting to be held Weds. 1st Feb. 2023. There will be no additional housing allocations in Dawlish, Holcombe, Cockwood or Teignmouth in the new draft 2040 Teignbridge Local Plan. Having considered all of the sites that came forward, the selected 'strategic' allocations are all expected to be clustered close to Exeter and Newton Abbot - with ...

Despite Dawlish Town Council's request that this planning application be decided by TDC planning committee this did not happen and the planning application has recently been given approval by a TDC planning officer.

The site is at Mowlish Lane, roughly 1.5 miles west of Starcross and 3 miles north west of Dawlish.

A scheme has now been launched by the government to hold bus fares at a maximum of £2.00 per single journey for a period of time next year.

The number of lodges had been reduced from 24 to 14. However, the planning application was refused by 9 votes to 1.

Assumes the buses will be running when they are supposed to.

Yes I know you did Linda, I watched the youtube video of the meeting. But as I feel sure you know as well as me - when push comes to shove it isn't what local people want it is what planning policies dictate and the number of houses each district has to build that trumps everything.  And anyway the site was allocated for development in the present Local Plan so if it wasn't that particular ...

No wonder landowners are so keen to have their land identified for development. Just look at the increase in value! “Whereas agricultural land has a value of £8,000 – £12,000 per acre, the same land with a residential housing consent can achieve 30, 40 or even 50 times that value.” https://www.fwi.co.uk/business/planning-for-housing-on-farmland-6-steps-to-success

Venue has now changed to The Strand Centre every Thursday

The building of the bridge is scheduled to start in 2023 ( and hopefully the front end of 2023!). It will link the Persimmon side of Shutterton Brook with the Secmaton Farm side (which is scheduled to be developed for housing but as I write this has no planning consent).  A road will then be built across Secmaton Farm up to the boundary with Gatehouse Farm even without any of the houses ...

See the thread concerning the Secmaton Farm development planning application 21/02674. It seems that Devon County Council (the highways authority) and the owner of Secmaton Farm must have come to some kind of 'arrangement.' as it now seems that the link road across Secmaton Farm will be built before the land is developed for housing. Development Area 3 = Secmaton Farm "The local highway ...

Today's Sunday Telegraph's cartoon has a tourist guide telling sightseers in London: "You can see Changing of the Guard in the morning, and Changing of the PM most afternoons."

The building of the bridge was given planning permission a couple of months back in August. Work has to start within 3 years. Wonder if it will be in place by 2025?

No idea. BUT...... the more GPs that go private then logically the fewer there will be working in the NHS = longer waiting times to see a NHS GP.  If longer times to see a NHS GP (and/or get that NHS hospital appointment/operation) the greater the argument becomes that the NHS is, by default, denying health care to its patients. Not the NHS fault btw.

Happened to be in Exminster this lunchtime. Thought at first that I was hallucinating. Then realised I wasn't. Two, yes two, number 2 buses travelling towards Newton Abbot were travelling through immediately one behind the other! Did both leave Exeter bus station at around the same time?! I left Exminster in a car a little while later. One of the buses was whiling away time in a bus stop in ...

Hi BB. I thought that in the case of windowless bathrooms that extractor fans are obligatory. Might be worth checking out? With regard to the pong emanating from the water treatment works along Warren Road - when the options for land put forward for house building were made public last summer one of the sites was Warren Farm (where the car boot and other activities are held). The blurb ...

Planning application approved. (Btw - this bit of land was also submitted to TDC as a possible site for new housing. Outcome of the Local Plan consultation showing what land has been selected for development and what not is scheduled to be made public Jan 2023).

According to a sign on the site the care home is to be called Claremont Manor and will offer luxury care accommodation. I wonder how much that will cost per week?

Was at Sandy Lane playing fields yesterday, first time in weeks. Noticed that retractable bollards have now been placed in front of the gate where the lock was broken and entry to the fields was then made by the travellers.

from the town council's website: Dawlish Town Council has organised and managed a core events programme for a number of years. The Council also provides support (via its events budget and grant programme) for events run by other organisations. The council also loans out equipment to community groups for events. In 2022 Dawlish Town Council collated, printed and distributed the Events Guide for ...

Subject to the weather being okay (and it is due to change) the last car boot at Warren Farm will now be next Wednesday 7th September. Please check the link at the very beginning of this thread to check whether or not it is running the day before/morning of Wednesday 7th September.

and here's another children's indoor play facility, in Newton Abbot, that I know Dawlish people go to. Again, like Ibounce, it seems this business likes industrial estates on which to be located. The point I am making is this - we are having increasing numbers of new houses in the parish which will inevitably bring with them young families. If we have young families we should have the ...

Just been talking to a local Mum who was extolling the virtues of Ibounce. She and others regularly travel to Newton Abbot to take their kids to it. These families all live in Dawlish. So I was thinking to myself how great it would be to have something along those lines in Dawlish. Seems Ibounce locate themselves on industrial parks. And where's the industrial estate in Dawlish? To the north of ...

If you, or someone you know, needs to change the hours you/they work because of childcare responsibilities you can make a request for flexible work. Your employer has a duty to consider your request in a reasonable manner and your employer must not discriminate against you. more info here Child-friendly working hours - Maternity Action

Sometime next month those with children turning 4 during this coming academic year will be receiving application forms concerning choosing a primary school. For those families with a parent or parents that go out to work whether or not the schools offer pre school and after school childcare may be a deciding factor. I've done some research. Cost: breakfast club =  circa £5.00 per session and ...

DTC's planning committee decision: Decision: Resolved that this Council recommends refusal to the application due to a lack of information as noted by Devon County Highway’s concerns.

Update: the three childminders who offer year around child care are: Jacqueline Kay and Louise Jones both in Starcross and Shari-Lynn Lamkin in Dawlish (Warren). The other child minders offer term time only.
