Good job you lot aren't in charge of the country then. Go on, tell me, cos I am intrigued. How do you know what you are claiming re TM,  the US president.and the US election.

That looks to me like the Langdon Hospital land that received planning permission earlier this year. It would seem that those who own the land are now selling it off now that it has planning permission and its value has therefore increased by X amount courtesy of said planning permission.

Perhaps the points made by Barbarawils about access for all should be made known to Devon County Council and to our Dawlish county councillor,  John Clatworthy? I also can't see how the proposed route down the steps will be of any use for those cyclists who have a trailer behind them with a kiddywink in it.

Any info on where the access points will be?

For what it is worth I think the Dawlish Gazette is very Dawlish focussed as its name implies (Dawlish Post though is another matter). I buy the Gazette every week. rarely buy the Express & Echo or Herald Express. I guess that as it is so Dawlish focussed, and has to be produced every week, then it follows that some weeks it may be more interesting than others. @monty - have you thought to contact ...

and/or raise the issues with our recently elected town councillors to see if they can help bring them to the attention of the local police? http://www.dawlish.gov.uk/memberlist.php

Have just re-read the email from officer at TDC and note that it says the SANGs is available to be used now. So I've just e-mailed back explaining my experience of yesterday (see above) and asking how the SANGs can be accessed. I'll post the response on here.

Thought this might be of interest. It is an excerpt from the minutes of the Dawlish Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group held 7.6.16. Mrs Pujol is a TDC officer concerned with housing and health. "Mrs Pujol advised that the Government had recently passed the Housing & Planning Act with regulations still to follow. It was suspected to include the definition of starter homes as affordable housing. ...

I was waiting for a train to go to Newton Abbot yesterday. The waves were spraying up and over the seawall walk way. People were still walking on the sea side of the wall (and getting wet) instead of taking the more sensible route nearer the wall. I also saw a child standing right near the edge of the seawall with parents seemingly totally unconcerned. My heart was in my mouth. Looking the other ...

Just had an e-mail back from the Beeb saying okay to put contents of the email they sent me on websites. So here it is. "Teignbridge Council have passed on your details to us as the BBC has responsibility for arranging on-site catering facilities at Radio 1’s Big Weekend. The event is being managed by the BBC’s Popular Music Live Events team, who run a wide range of events and festivals across the ...

Anyone know what this is to be used for?

And also of course should there be a care home (or two) built amongst all this new build housing then that will more than likely mean doctors having more call out visits. I think I caught something at the last TDC planning committee meeting about local GPs expressing concerns about this extra workload but that NHS Devon (or some similar body) could envisage no problem.

So what happened to those 8 benches?

I do have concerns about housing being built on grade 1 agricultural land. I also have concerns about housing being built without the necessary infrastructure being in place. I have concerns about not enough Affordable rental Housing (AH= rents of 80% or less of market level) being built. And I have great concerns about the impact of the 2016 Housing and Planning Act and how that will negatively ...

Hope  you're right MV.

Provided the volunteers know what they are doing and are not well intentioned but ill-equipped/ill-informed amateurs.

Should someone tell TDC?

But the visitor centre will still have the effect of encouraging people to visit the Warren. Not that I am particularly bothered about that it's just that itstrikes me as being contradictory given what the SANGS is supposed to achieve. Actually I'm all for lots more educational visits to the whole Warren area - geography field trips, marine biology, oceanography, botony etc etc. I've often thought ...

Re my post above. According to the advert at the bottom of the front page of today's Gazette they are on sale at Marine  Stores and Cofton Holiday Park.

Do you have a particular location in Dawlish in mind for the restaurant or are you just putting out feelers to see what demand there might be? If it does come off make sure the holiday makers at the campsites know about it. I've just told some that I know about what you are proposing and they expressed quite a bit of interest.

Yes it's (what was) the toilets in the outer car park. We had a long long long thread about it all some 12 months or so ago.

And I also noticed banners around the Republican convention hall saying "Make America Great Again". But just like the Brexiteer slogan of "make Britain Great Again" there was/is no definition of what 'Great' means.

Just to point out that whilst the country voted to Brexit nowhere on the ballot paper did it say what Brexit would look like. Just as the Remainers may have voted to remain for different reasons so too, I strongly suspect, did the Brexiteers have differing reasons for wanting to leave. So, when those differing reasons aren't met? or get compromised? I wonder how the disaffected, disappointed, and ...

Well, the difference between government and the opposition is that the government has the power. An opposition can be as strong as whatever but it will always lose to the government because the government has more MPs. I don't have a problem whatsoever with a party changing in order to get elected. I see it as a pragmatic thing to do from that party's point of view. T. May came out with some ...

Hope you have a great holiday Stephen (and that you've brought some sunshine with you!)

Remainers are entitled to their say http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-36742691

The reason I asked about crutches and foot stools is because I have some here. They are in the garage (I keep forgetting that they are there. This thread has reminded me)   I see similar items for sale at boot fairs. Please could someone explain (hazard a guess?) as to why it is hospitals provide these things but seemingly have no provision to take them back. I ask because I did phone the local ...

Yes I agree there is a dilemma between complete freedom of speech (as, say, put forward by Article 19) and what is allowed in practice. For example, in this country we have the laws of slander and libel and laws relating to promoting terrorism and incitement to racial hatred. Freedom of Speech is not quite as straightforward a concept then, as might at first be thought?

Absolutely agree that it is austerity and cut backs to public services that has caused and is causing lots of problems Still........when we have our new (even further to the Right) Conservative government I'm sure lots of money will be pumped into our public services. They'll even publicly fund flying lessons for pigs. Oh what sunny uplands await us all.

Why are they planning a new visitor centre at the Warren when I thought they had to have a SANGS at Warren Farm so that people didn't visit the Warren. Anyone?

Would have been nice if there had been a plan though, don't you think? Or even several plans for that matter - then we could all have seen what the options were. Which reminds me I must email Anne Marie Morris. On the Sunday politics show the other week she swore there was a plan. Anyone seen it yet?

It says that the Bill has no power of enforcement. It's just empty rhetoric.

You don't  mean, shock horror probe, that he was taking tax payers' money but not doing his as an MEP?

Perhaps we could export water (rain). After all it is a natural resource that we seem to produce in abundance.

Conservative MP for Central Devon, Mel Stride has a very interesting article on page 10 of the Dawlish Gazette. He campaigned for Remain. I never thought I would say this but.............I do so agree with what he says. More than that. I have e-mailed him telling him that I agree with him. (!). Do read the article.
