@Lynne - absolutely right. the papers have finally caught up with that long housing discussion thread here last year. at least the dawlish neighbourhood plan showed a reduction from its original figure of 2000 new homes to around 1300 - much more in line with forecast population growth
It's also a cirl bunting site. The original proposal was for 100 houses to be built here and adjacent land (draft Dawlish neighbourhood plan) which was downscaled to 20 when the housing estimates were shown to be over-egged. But once you're down to 20 it just doesn't seem worth it compared to the environmental loss of this open space.
There was even a song written about it!!!! ...................... It went away, like you and me It wasn't ours and it wasn't free In French they say le blanc doodie to the '70s.
Companies were banned from adding chalk as a bulking agaent to the food. Or so I've been told - seems as likely an explanation as anything else!
So coming back to Steve's original posting, everyone should go onto the AVaaz site and sign the petition - I did about 4-5 days ago and had an e-mail back today saying they're up to around 75000. They are aiming for 100,000 which I thin k is the magic number that officially represents public opinion in the eyes of the government.
Have used O2 here for at least the last 5 years with no problem at all. Perhaps a change of provider might help. O2's coverage in general is a lot better.
Interesting survey. I'd encourage everyone to respond & let's see what happens.

Well said!!!
So it looks like they have taken into account the original comments on the housing projections being way too excessive compared to forecast population changes. The numbers above in the Jan 2012 consultation look about right.
