Margaret Swift is a town councillor. Margaret Swift is one of the six councillors sitting on the new Neighbourhood Plan steering group. Margaret Swift was at the stall today helping to collect signatures for the petition against TDC's proposal and Warren Farm. So.......if Margaret feels free to do that why don't any of the other town councillors? For if Soul of Dawlish is right then there should ...
I've just come back from the Christmas market helping Richard and family with their petition. People were queuing up to sign and at one point someone had to nip off somewhere fast to get some more petition forms printed off such was the number signing.
Richard Weeks along with some of his sheep will be at the Dawlish Christmas market today. You'll find him (and them) outside the URC on the Strand. If you haven't signed the petition yet this will be an ideal time to do so.
@Kaz my response in red: "Let me put it this way, any councillor (what type of councillor do you have in mind? Town? District? both?) who is on the neighbourhood parish plan will have signed or will sign to say they are in favour of the Plan Teignbridge, else Teignbridge would not accept working with them on it.

All: for info - I've just sent this: Dear Town Clerk, I understand the town council is now seeking 6 citizens to sit on this group. I imagine that how to apply to become one of these 6 citizens will be advertised in the local paper as well as on the town council website.

Also, as this is about the future of Dawlish, how can our young people be involved?
@David Cox - and will 5 councillors request that this be considered by O&S committee?
Can I amend your last sentence Margaret so that it reads - joined up sensible and thought through thinking is urgently required. (and yes it is me that's been pointing out this mixed message nonsense. It makes an absolute mockery of TDC's argument that Warren Farm should become a SANGS in order to reduce visitors to Dawlish Warren NNR. I'd be doubled up laughing if it wasn't that it has such ...
What site? Where?
I sent out the e-mail below to our 5 Teignbridge District councillors (Cllrs Graham Price, Ted Hockin, John Petherick, Rosalind Prowse and Humphry Clemens) at 10.00am this morning. As I type this I have yet to receive any response. Should any responses turn up in my in box I will post on here. Here's what I wrote; Dear Cllrs, You are no doubt aware of the controversy attached to the ...
