Welcome! Hope you have a really restful Easter break. Willo's cafe is perhaps new since your last visit, and is great for a coffee and bacon sarnie after a bracing sea walk. Also there are really nice meals to be had at Jack Sprat's on the Strand. Doug and Sue are new too, and give a warm welcome in the Strand Cafe. Plus you should find some old favourites too. Have a great holiday!
11.15 @Brooklyn. I appreciate that must have been very upsetting to see. I've Just spoken on the telephone to Julian, the Duty Warden, who had only just returned from inspecting the site. He advises that the eggs are definitely infertile (10 days overdue) but the Swans are in no danger from the current high water.
Talking to Don (one of the wardens) today, they are very aware of the situation. Sadly those particular eggs are well overdue hatching, perhaps sterile? Anyway, the chaps will be doing all that can be done
@ZIGGY in answer to your question. I asked TDC to provide more information about their decisions at Sandy Lane and I think what's been said is reasonable. My personal opinion is that more open access facilities as described would be great. Realistically there is a financial challenge to overcome. I've asked for more detail of what's being considered to see if this might be an ...
I'm happy to ask questions at Teignbridge, and will let you know what I find out. It may take a few days though.
A request was posted on this site for a brief breakdown of the costs for the Strand project I undertook to pass on the question to Devon County Council, and have now received the following reply Works (Construction) Costs = 17% Materials = 60% Statutory Undertakers Work = 9% Street Lighting Work = 10% Street Furniture ...
I asked Teignbridge Council last week about the sarcophagus like structure that has appeared by the phone box. It is a temporary installation built by British Telecom to protect their equipment during the Strand works. It will be removed when no longer required and the ground re-levelled. I did suggest that a public notice be put up to explain the rather unusual structure in that location, and ...
@MRB to answer your two questions (1) The kiosk on the seafront. I have been told by Teignbridge Officers that it is a private contractual relationship between Network Rail and the tenant. I'm not aware of any power to enforce a private owner (Network Rail) or their Tenant to re-decorate the exterior of the building. (2) Teignbridge District Council have promised to consult the ...
Hi Huw, I am looking at the copy of the revised Strand plans that are on the Town Council website. There are steps and at one location ramped access to the Lawn, and these coinicde with the raised table connecting the two pavements. However the connection points are at the rear of the new Lawn Pavement and so there shouldn't be a problem. Given the duties imposed by the Equality legislation I ...
There are several crossing points in the design between the two pavements, and of course they are disabled friendly. The shops pavement is to be wider. Suggest anyone with questions contacts arron.carpenter@devon.gov.uk or rings 08451551004 as per the public information signs down on the Strand.
