Is it presently agricultural land? And what do you think it may end up being used for? Housing? Employment? other?

The article in the paper mentions other Cllrs who have resigned during 2017 including Linda and John Petherick who "resigned in April following an alleged dispute with a fellow councillor". Remember these threads? https://www.dawlish.com/thread/details/45560 https://www.dawlish.com/thread/details/45506 https://www.dawlish.com/thread/details/45520

It isn't rate payers money! It is money that has come from developers. Part of the planning agreement for Sainsbury's to be built was that it should give an amount of money (£200,000 I think it was) for use in the town centre. This money has to be spent within 10 years of the commencement of the building of Sainsbury's. So we are looking at it being spent by 2021/2022. If the money isn't spend by ...

Missed it. What was it.

This is an agenda item for TDC's Executive meeting to held on Tuesday 5th December. Agenda item 10 https://www.teignbridge.gov.uk/media/6132/2017-december-5-agenda.pdf

@elvis presley You left out cyclists cluttering up the footpath or taking up too much room on the road outside.

I thought this info might be useful. The following are the grounds on which planning permission is most likely to be refused (although this list is not intended to be definitive) : • Adverse effect on the residential amenity of neighbours, by reason of (among other factors) noise*, disturbance*, overlooking, loss of privacy, overshadowing, etc. [*but note that this does not include noise or ...

Actually if the world warms up then our climate could well become colder. Why? Because if the Gulf Stream is disrupted (and it is the warmth of the Gulf Stream that keeps our climate as temperate as it is) then we will have a much colder climate in this country.

Very fortuitous you mentioning benches Leatash because I have just come back from a few days in Falmouth and noticed whilst there (couldn't miss if truth be known) that their public benches by the beaches have been brightly painted in primary and secondary colours in a gloss like paint. Looked very attractive. Also the doors in the public toilets at Gyllingvase beach had also been painted using ...

See bottom page 4 in this week's Gazette for more info on the extension of double yellow lines in the areas I have mentioned above.

That link takes you to a document dated 2007

Try Private Eye - see if they are interested in your findings. email address is: strobes@private-eye.co.uk

@DEEDOODLE - Yes you are correct you didn't use the word offensive you used the word abusive. But I still find it contradictory  that if you find it so abusive that you then publish a picture of it. And I am sure such word and others of its kind are to be found all over the country not just around here. What is it that you think I am trying to make this thread into? I was merely making an ...

I thought the financial mess of some 10 years ago (but still with us now) started over Stateside with the advent of sub prime mortgages. There is a very good film (well I think so) that covers this time in the States. If those interested in how the US financial whizz kids caused all this I would highly recommend watching The Big Short. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Short_(film)

If all this wasn't so potentially serious and dangerous it would be hilarious. It strikes me there's some kind of weird and wonderful 'Alice in Wonderland' logic going on here. (the road is narrow in some places already therefore it is okay if we make it narrower in other places as well). Where's me whacky baccy?

Oh and did you know that back in 2013 the starting starting salary for a police constable got cut back by £4,000. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-21027176 Look at the pay scales on this link. https://www.policeoracle.com/pay_and_conditions/police_pay_scales.html Note the differences in salaries between those joining the police service prior to 1.4.13 and those who joined after that date

Bump

The town counci's Finance and General Purposes (F&GP) committee meets tonight. Amongst other things on the agenda is this: 11) Items from Civic Amenities Committee a) To consider a request from Civic Amenities Committee to investigate the cost of renewing the Skate Park

Have been told that the powers that be are aware that more dog poo bins are needed and that getting more of them installed at the park is underway.

Low pay/not having enough money to pay bills etc is indeed a subject to be taken seriously.* But bear with me if now I sound frivolous on the subject. So........... all these low income families in Dawlish are going to spend their spare income (what spare income?!!!?? ) in the shops in the centre of town when they come into town in order to take their under 8 year olds to the proposed playpark. ...

Some info here re the closure of Daw Vale care home and the provision (or lack of) of elderly residential care in Dawlish. https://www.dawlish.com/thread/details/34205 http://www.itv.com/news/westcountry/2014-11-03/in-full-the-20-devon-care-homes-facing-closure/

Back in 2008 a report was published concerning how Dawlish might be regenerated. click on this link to read it https://sites.teignbridge.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=33319&p=0 Chapter 10 is of particular interest as it is concerned with transforming the heart of the town.

There are two things that are annoying me about this. 1. How the figures were, and still are, being spun by some (for example 77% of the people in Dawlish voted for a playpark and/or the Dawlish public voted for their to be a playpark on the lawn). Actually 77%  of the just over 500 who answered the questionnare did so. and 2. The absolutely fallacious argument that having a playppark on the lawn ...

I thought it was still open. When did it close? Ah! Just remembered - I think it is now called the Funky Frog or something similar. Click here for more info http://www.funkyfrogsplaypad.co.uk/ (Does T'mouth have anything along the same lines? )

This is an extract from the town centre manager's report to the Civic Amenities Committee meeting held in June 2016. (my emphasis in bold) Many members of the public and traders have asked for a play park in Dawlish on a similar scale to Teignmouth . Currently Dawlish residents travel to Teignmouth to use their play park, which is used extensively all year round to the benefit of families, shops ...

Just noticed this on the town council website Vacancy - Town Clerk 27 Oct 2017 Vacancy - Town Clerk & Proper Officer - Full time ... More >> Download document (pdf) Vacancy - Administration Officer - Part Time 27 Oct 2017 Vacancy Part Time Administration Officer... More >>

On the other hand, and thinking of this specific location - those parents with under 8 year olds who live in the new homes (which are, with each new home built, getting further and further away from the town centre) might well decide to use the play facilities nearest to them. Why go into the town centre to spend money when there is the new Gerald's mini supermarket (and a very nice shop it is ...

Just to suggest that all the cut backs in what the police do (or don't do), as with delays in ambulances turning up, and much of the deterioration in other public service delivery (NHS?) is due to cut backs in funding which are caused by central government policies. So blame central government not local government or the NHS or the fire and rescue service etc etc

Okay, so,   let's just say, for the sake of argument, that a consensus is now emerging amongst those of us who post on, and read this website,  that the proposed playpark is such that it would not act as a draw to entice others into the town from the likes of T'mouth and Paignton. But what it might do, arguably, is stop Dawlish residents taking their (grand)children to the playpark in T;mouth. So ...

So why not ask our county councillor, John Clatworthy, to answer the question?

Questionable figures again ?

Here's another recipe for you Deedoodle. http://notesfromthevegpatch.com/cow-pat-cakes/

Even though only 680 residents responded, given what is being claimed from that figure (that 77% of Dawlish residents are in support of there being a playpark on the lawn) I think it is important that we have a breakdown of how those 680 residents answered the questions. For example, if I had participated in the questionnaire and had voted  Yes to question 1 and Yes to question 3 would my opinion ...
