Lynne's Posts

Anyone else notice the unfortunate timing (for Tracey) with regard to the future of her post. I say unfortunate given as she appears to have been the main driver behind the having a playpark on the lawn policy  and I suspect that some who are not happy with that but who otherwise might have signed the petition above might now not do so.

In the latest Dawlish Post, in the public notices section found on page 72, can be found the following; " Notice is hereby given etc etc that TDC intends to dispose of an interest in two areas of open space at the following locations: Pavilion at Forde Park, Newton Abbot and Site between Brunswick Place and Dawlish Water, Dawlish (approx 284 square metres) by way of a 5 year lease for use as ...

I've been away for a while and have had restricted access to emails which may account for the fact that I missed reading this response from an officer at TDC sent to me the day after my letter was published in the Gazette. Here is part of the TDC email response. It gives answers to my questions of 1) who owns the countryside park and 2) who would be paying for its maintenance. It seems that TDC ...

So if it is so few who are making the fuss then they would have posed no threat if they had been asked on the consultation questionnaire if they wished there to be a play park on the lawn or not.

Just over a year ago and on the original playpark thread I posted this: "on 13TH Aug. on another thread which had wandered onto the subject of the playpark Gary Taylor posted this (but my emphasis in red bold): "This is the relevant extract from the Sainsbury's S106 town centre developer contribution document: £200,000 towards "projects aimed at sustaining the vitality and viability of Dawlish ...

As you say jc, rumour. The Lawn, Sandy Land playing fields, and other bits of green land in Dawlish are designated as part of the Green infrastructure of Dawlish in the Local Plan. As long as they remain designated as such they cannot be built on. The new countryside park is also in the Local Plan (it was originally going to be on the the sea side of Warren Road -remember the fuss about the ...

Not me.

@tom said something about vehicle drivers breaking the law. I have lost count of the times I have seen motorists on their mobile phones whilst they are driving! Didn't that get made an offence relatively recently? My latest experience of this was on Saturday when I saw a van driver (white van man it was) exit East Cliff road to go on to the Exeter road. He had one hand on the steering wheel and ...

Course it will @Flo , of course it will. Silly me!

But the point is that with the free movement agreement between the RoI and the UK, the UK will not necessarily know who has entered the UK and who has left it. We may know, courtesy of the Irish border authorities, who has entered the Republic via their official passport controls,  but how will we know whether or not those people have consequently travelled into the UK? And remember that a lot of ...

I don't know to how many generations back it applies but certainly to some extent if you can trace that you are descended from an Irish citizen you may be able to claim a Republic of Ireland passport and then have dual British/Irish nationality. And it certainly seems that if you were born in a certain part of the UK, namely Northern Ireland, that not only can you presently claim dual nationality ...

They voted Leave so that this country would leave the EU but now they are thinking of moving to a country that is within the EU. It is their thinking that I don't understand.

Famous? mini golf course

And don't forget the time it takes to shop around and the availability of supermarkets. Not everyone has the time. And not everywhere has a selection of supermarkets in close vicinity to choose from. Until recently we had a dearth of supermarkets in this area. No option but to travel to Exeter or NA. Now there is a Sainsburys in Dawlish and a Morrisons in T'mouth.  Plus some co-op outlets. And a ...

@Dil - many thanks. i've found it now. Looks like it's a franchise opportunity https://subwayfranchising.com/en-gb/franchise/opportunities-cornwall-devon-dorset-channel-islands

Is what happens (or not) on the lawn the concern/responsibility of the town council?

Two large white vans parked on Iddesleigh Terrace pavement (just down a bit from where the estate agent is located) this morning when I walked into town.

I'd say it was more a case of a Subway opening in Dawlish provided someone is prepared to take on a Subway franchise (as opposed to Subway itself definitely intending to open a branch in Dawlish). https://subwayfranchising.com/en-gb/franchise/opportunities-cornwall-devon-dorset-channel-islands

I thought it might be 'old' news. I've not been in town for the past couple of weeks so haven't read the last couple of Gazettes. But as I couldn't find anything about it on here I thought I would post the info.

Well I've often thought that you must have some kind of alert system when it comes to my postings because as I say it is usually nanno second stuff in terms of your responding. I was beginning to think you might have been stuck in a very long queue at a passport control somewhere..........

On page 72 of this week's Dawlish Post there are lots of public notices one of which states the following: Local Government Act 1972 Section 123 (1), (2A) Disposal of Interest in Open Space NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN under section 123 (2A) of the Local Government Act 1972 that Teignbridge Distict Council intends to dispose of an interest in two areas of open space at the following locations: Tuck's ...

I heard (so its hearsay!) that last year, when this issue was raised at the town council meetings, it was almost as though the issue had been predecided (to have a playpark on the lawn) by certain councillors and that on top of that discussion of this topic in the council chamber was curtailed. From what I heard (again hearsay) there were councillors for and against the project. And the divide, I ...

But the cabinet isn't saying we won't leave the EU. What the agreed line appears to be (and it seems that arch Brexiteers Johnson, Fox and Davies agree with this) is that it is in the country's interests for there to be a softer economic landing by way of leaving the EU completely over a period of time rather than leaving the EU completely on March 29th 2019. If you disagree with that proposal I ...

Dawlish Town Council's planning committee will be meeting this evening. Amongst the other planning applications on the agenda is this one. https://www.teignbridge.gov.uk/planning/forms/planning-application-details/?Type=Application&Refval=17/01654/MAJ&MN=Y

I can't find anything about this on St. Gregs website. Fete on the Lawn usually takes place in July. I was out of town last week and the week before. Did it happen then?

.......from age 67 to age 68. But I'd watch that space if I were you (I am after all a WASPI) - as no doubt it will be increased again. And whatever you do - do not assume that you will be informed officially about any increases!!!!

I think it will have put paid to any ministerial (no matter how junior) ambitions she may have had.

I hear what you say Margaret. Amendment accepted. Tourists use it? P'raps not. But I think dog walking locals will (but not during inclement weather.) I

Unless it's been altered (and I don't think it has) the Local Plan for Dawlish shows that  there is  to be a green 'corridor' betweeen the Gatehouse developments and the development at the Langdon Hospital site.

Any thoughts then on what Dawlish town council might do bearing in mind its limited range of statutory powers and finances?

Who (as in which organisation - NHS? TDC? DCC? Other?) gets the  revenue from the surgery/hospital/pharmacy car park?

Just a tad! Who is responsible for keeping the Hedgerow trimmed back? Anyone know?

and the traffic chaos then continued after Little Mix performance. http://www.devonlive.com/little-mix-traffic/story-30441781-detail/story.html

For those interested in seeing the 2 x objections and the festival organisers response click on this link and scroll down https://www.teignbridge.gov.uk/media/4924/reports.pdf That was all I was asking to have sight of. As it happens this wasn't made available to the general public until earlier this month. @roberta - the postings from Flo and Scapegoat have drawn my attention to the posting you ...

Okay, so........nominations have closed and .......... there is only one nomination for Central Ward so that person is duly 'elected'. But two nominations each in North East ward and South West ward which means there will be elections in those wards ( end of this month I think).

Any chance of some examples of these illegal things that upstanding members of the community apparently get up to? Are we talking speeding? Dropping litter? Smoking things they shouldn't be smoking?

Women born 6th July 1953- 5th August 1953 will become eligible for their state pension next month on 6th July. This means that wef July the state pension age for women will be 64 years. But this age will rise again wef 6th November 2017.

Could amending ambiguous wording on Open Daw's website be defined as back pedalling?

For once (!!!!!!!), I am in agreement with Burneside.
