Hi Ken. funnily enough I am also just sitting down to a stiff cup of tea! I am very pleased Teignbridge have listened to our concerns today, but it is the Dawlish public who should take a bow. Without their massive support - almost 600 on-line signatures and 200 more on paper - the chances of having our voices heard would have been far lower. While I am disappointed that the Langdon ...

If you know of concerned residents and friends who would like to sign a paper version of Alison Foden's petition instead of the online version, please see the attached file which can be printed out and copied as required. Happy to collect on Monday if you contact me by email by (say) 3pm - jitb2b@aol.com ...

Point taken BEE9 - and there is much more to be done to change the perception of the work current being done by Town Council members on behalf of the Dawlish public.

A very good link Lynne, good to see how Chudleigh are responding to the threat to their town. But best not forget the substitute TDC Planning Committee members from any lobbying list: Councillors Cox, Dewhirst, Golder, Haines, Hocking, Klinkenberg, Nutley, Russell and Thorne: david.cox@teignbridge.gov.uk, alistair.dewhirst@teignbridge.gov.uk, ...

I understand your frustration BEE9, but it would be wrong to lump Dawlish Town Council in with Teignbridge District and Devon County Councils. Leaving aside the differences in political make-up, since Teignbridge's Local Plan was settled, Dawlish Town Council and its Planning Committee have been fighting hard to retain our countryside and green open spaces, to encourage good design and higher ...

This latest report puts the uncertainty of bringing the link road forward via the separate development of each land parcel  into context in unusually plain English: 'Horses and water come to mind' it states bluntly in para 2.4. . 2. And this from an author who has yet to meet the parties involved. Interestingly, para 2.4.7 touches on the idea of 'compulsion' - but such a notion ...

For once, I find myself in agreement with The Portfolio Holder for Planning and Housing; Teignbridge District Councillor and Dawlish Town Councillor, Humphrey Clemens. If the Link Road is built by the developers (and there appears some uncertainty about that) then I believe as he does that "it would be some ten years before the Link Road would be completed". But while Cllr Clemens is ...

thank you for this link @Barbarawils68 . This document appears to spell out what many will have feared from the start - that despite all the concerns raised via the public consultation, in the press and at Dawlish Town Council, the building of the link road will be left to the various developers and not driven through by DCC or TDC. This will mean construction and other displaced traffic ...

Dawlish Water outflow & sea wall works update from Network Rail as below (my queries to NR in italics): I write in response to your queries concerning Dawlish works as I have received the following update from the Project Team: The [outflow] structure was breached at the start of the year following a succession of weather patterns which scoured abnormal quantities of sand from the ...
