So much for public consultation
Can anybody confirm the rumour that there is a £50,000 penalty clause in the contract which is effective if the purchase of the new property does not complete.
Somebody just told me they intend to knock the new purchase down and rebuild, does anybody know if there is any truth in that?
So how much will it cost to make the new building fit for purpose? on top of the £140,000. I cannot remember which Councillor made that comment in the local paper - re meetings will be held at different locations each month - I would gues because the new building may not be large enough
They are going to spend I believe £140,000 to buy the new building, how much will it cost to adapt into offices for the staff?? Obviously the hidden agenda is solely my opinion - how long do you think they will tolerate having to meet in a different location every month, I believe when things have died down, it will emerge that they feel it is unsatisfactory and they will look to purchase another ...
I dont think you read my post correctly ' take it that you would be happy' I said' I wish the residents every success ' The council have stated that if and when they acquire the new premises they would hold council meetings in different locations each month, how long will they put up with that, is there a hidden agenda here?
It is amazing that when residents are really interested, they want evidence of residency, but when they wanted to install CCTV a thousand people made comments of which 200 were tourists and only 16 mentioned CCTV. It seems to me that the only time the council listen to the dawlish residents is when they -residents - use numbers to make a protest, and I wish them every success. Just for the record ...
Thats a bit strong - your comment - how many meetings have you attended that you needed to prove who you are?
Dawlish Man "I wouldn't be happy if non-Dawlish residents were participating in this" I think you missed my point, you will need evidence that you are a resident, so if you forget to bring that evidence and wish to speak you will not be allowed to.
And make sure you bring authentication that you live in Dawlish otherwise arrogant Town Clerk Winchester wont let you speak, he may even try to stop you entering
