Right! Before Mcjrpc or Mrs C or whoever comes back on here to respond to Carer's post above, can I just ask that one of you start a new thread. Call it " The Bickering Thread" or something similar and go and have your bickers on there. I'm not usually 'precious' about any threads I start or post on having to keep religiously to the original topic. It is the nature of discussions that they ...
Extract from letter dated 1-4-14 from NR (Patrick Hallgate, Western Route Managing Director), Network Rail, to Newton Abbot MP, Anne Marie Morris. “With respect to the future improvement in resilience of the railway between Exeter St Davids and Newton Abbot my Route Asset Management Team is currently commissioning a major engineering feasibility study. This study has been initiated by the Route ...
So.......to return to the subject of this thread. Anyone any thoughts on what might be an appropriate piece of art?
Suspect NR will also have had a big say in what colour the viaduct should be as I believe they own it. Anyhow, for anyone who wishes to pursue this with the TDC Conservation officer these contact details might be useful. Design & Heritage Section Teignbridge District Council Forde House, Brunel Road Newton Abbot, Devon TQ12 4XX 01626 215705 ...
Consult the TDC conservation officer? oh my gawd! Didn't someone say (Margaret S?) on here somewhere that the reason the viaduct is the bland colour it is, is because the conservation officer said that it had to be so? Think I'm right on that. That's why I was promoting the idea of public opinion maybe swaying the Conservation officer's mind with regard to the viaduct being painted green with gold ...
It's the idea that I think should be promoted in the first instance. That company doesn't do Holly Green? What about another shade of green then? Are there other companies that also produce marine proof paint and who do a Holly Green? Clive, do you know?
Just a suggestion. See my thread about Artwork in the Town. Could someone officially make this suggestion about the swans and the colours etc on the viaduct, to the town council for them to pursue with NR? And (and I know I say this a lot) write a letter to the Gazette suggesting the idea. Mcjrpc perhaps? I think it was your suggestion. That way the idea gets a wider audience and if more people ...
I thought it was The Anchor at Cockwood not The Ship (at Cockwood) that is run by the same family as runs the Mount Pleasant. And isn't it The Anchor not The Ship that specialises in seafood?
and along the same theme. I see that mugs commemorating the work of the Orange army are on sell today on the lawn - 10.00am - 2.00pm. £10.00 for 2.
Just been looking at the town council's website. See that an agenda item for this coming Wednesday's Civic Amenities Committee meeting is: Artwork in the town: to consider the positioning of a statue or suitable artwork within the town to commemorate the recent storms.
