Went passed it again today. See there is a sign saying it will open on the 22nd (tomorrow, Friday) at 12 noon.

Hmm now.........a sewage pipe that can't cope? I could have sworn residents have been pointing out the problems with sewage disposal for some time now. Perhaps I imagined it all. NOT.

This thread is running on Eyes of Dawlish. Thought I'd place it on here. ‎ Dawn Marsden ‎ to Eyes of Dawlish 1 hr · Accident Waiting to Happen !!!!!! Sorry I don't usually post (and hope this okay) but today I feel the need to rant ! As a parent of children at Gatehouse school I am growing more and more concerned around our childrens safety. Once again this morning and yesterday morning the ...

I asked the above because try as I might (and I know others have tried as well) there is a resounding silence emanating from TDC with regard to the identity of the successful tenderer. And as is the way of things when there is an absence of information the rumour mill takes over. I've even heard it said that TDC has awarded the tender to...............wait for it..............TDC!. (shurely not. ...

Saw this last night at the Shaftesbury Theatre. Excellent production. Well done to all involved.

There is also this TDC document dated March 2010 concerning whether  the land at Langdon Hospital is suitable (or not) for development. http://www.teignbridge.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=24890&p=0

note agenda item 9 http://www.dawlish.gov.uk/edit/uploads/1696.pdf

For an idea of how much properties have sold for on the new Strongvox, Bovis/Cavanna and Barrats (The Buntings) developments since 2014 click on this link and then scroll down to page 23, Appendix B https://www.teignbridge.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=46830&p=0

I see from page 9 of this week's Dawlish Post that TDC have adopted the following projects for the next 10 years: * Providing more, better and affordable homes * Keeping the district clean * Investment in town centres * Providing well-designed quality neighbourhoods * Improving helath and well-being * Creating jobs and wealth * Improving travel options * Opportunities for healthy life styles * To ...

@roberta - who was it that they had to pay that money to?

Praps one of the new housing developments could have it as a community art feature

Right, so............that is a plan, as I understand it, giving dates when it is anticipated certain decisions should be made. So....... now the anticipated decision date (17th May) for the DA2 Development Framework DA2 SPD ain't gonna be met. And it ain't gonna be met because the TDC planning committe on Tuesday just gone decided that it had to be deferred and looked at again because of the link ...

Thought these dates might be of use for some: (from TDC website) Planning - 5th April Exec - 12th April Planning - 6th May Exec - 17th May Planning - 1st June Exec - 14th June Planning - 28th June

A TDC councillor responds : A neighbour emailed all the TDC planning councillors and the substitutes and received this back from one of them "I am in full agreement with all your views and I have been voicing this for some time. YES, we must have this link road built before any houses are started. Please ,all who are concerned keep writing to us and I do hope we can help  Best wishes"

Think there might be some agenda items of interest on Weds. Take a look. AGENDA 1 Apologies for absence 2 To receive and consider requests for dispensation 3 Devon & Cornwall Police - To receive the report of the Devon and Cornwall Constabulary for the parish. 4 Minutes - To approve, sign and adopt the minutes of the Town Council meeting held on 2 March (attached). 5 Minutes of Committees for ...

So what happens if parcel 3 does not get developed? What might need to happen in order for that to be achieved? What would be the consequences if it wasn't developed? This is covered from 2.4.2 through to 2.4.11 of the report.

Yesterday someone told me about this cycle. Have a read of this for instance http://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/blog/18-year-property-cycle/ which was written a couple of years ago. So.......if we are approximately in the middle of the latest housing boom/bust cycle then if that link road doesn't get built NOW whilst the market is bouyant, then come a few years time when the market falls the ...

No

Well dbad all will be revealed in a few days time won't it for all to see - so I guess that after that time none of us will have to er........guess anymore. Who and where are these other people like me? I'm intrigued. Do I have doppelgangers in the town then? Holding Dawlish back? All I'm doing is raising questions, and putting information in the public domain and as there will be a public ...

URGENT INFORMATION Builders’ vehicles and more traffic to go along Sandy Lane and Elm Grove Drive! Devon County Council and Teignbridge District Council are proposing that a right turn from Exeter Road onto Elm Grove Road should be prohibited and that right turning traffic should instead use Sandy Lane and Elm Grove Drive. This will increase the amount of traffic along those roads and will include ...

@ken re your first post above - yes i agree. it does seem that the proposed traffic usage of 'secmaton avenue' is completely contradictory but i think, from what i have read, that it will be okay for buses to use it as a through route but not cars. So how will that be enforced then?

I've just read the full article about the carnival in the Gazette. 'ave a read. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

Lovely up there isn't it and with lovely views I agree. For the first few years that I lived here I used to wonder to myself what on earth it was that people meant when they talked of the Mamhead Obelisk. Then, one day, by chance we decided to take the dog for a walk up Haldon Hill way and idly following the paths we came across ..........Mamhead Obelisk and that super view. I've always thought ...

Yes FB I think you are right. I've tried phoning around a few places and also asking in some of the charity shops here and in T'mouth but no-one wants them. Thanks for the offer of a machine to play them on but we've got one, kept so that daughter can play the videos of herself made when she was much younger. We are in the process of converting those videos of her childhood to dvds. I've still got ...

Well maybe the law cannot be enforced because the law enforcement agencies, like other public sector services, are being starved of cash = fewer officers.

and here are the walks Dawlish Walking Festival 1 – 10 April 2016 Those taking part in a walk will be able to get a token towards a cup of tea at a local cafe.  Look out for Destination Dawlish walkers welcome signs! Friday April 1st The Walking Festival is launched with: Two performances of The Dawlish Dawdle of April Fools Bring along a picnic to join us at lunchtime. 10.30am – 12 noon and  ...

As there has been talk on here about the narrowing of the A379 main road in Dawlish I thought I would start a new thread about the above. The road at Countess Weir, because it needs widening, will be reduced to single lane traffic for the next 62 weeks so that the necessary roadworks can take place. That road is always nose to tail at rush hours throughout the year and on Saturdays and bank ...

It's what was James's Plantation

Well it's free in the same sense that pensioner bus pass fares are free, and over 60 prescriptions are free, and state schooling is free, and NHS treatment is free (but not dental), and lollipop school crossing patrols are free and so on and so forth. Tax payers money being used to provide a service that not all tax payers will use or are necessarily eligible to use. (note to self - now await the ...

Last time I went through Teignmouth I saw quite a bit of new housebuilding. Other than making a comment about planning applications neither Dawlish or Teignmouth Town Councils have any clout when it comes to what gets built or not in their respective towns. That decision making is the perogative of TDC councillors who sit on TDC's planning committee BUT BUT BUT what decisions they make are ...

@Daverc - as these houses are open market ones i'd say the answer to your question is in the term 'open market'.

That last link you've given includes a planning app reference (16/00540) which I've just typed into the TDC planning portal and it comes back as nothing found. Are you saying that 16/00540 will be this planning application's reference number?

Just came along that way in a car - windows fully closed. A tanker was at the pumping station (why would that be then?) and the stench even managed to permeate the car (which is how I knew it was a stench). Gawd knows what it must be like for people living around there. Do you think Sainsbury's might start kicking up a stink (sorry) sometime soon about it all?

and if you are a woman born 1950-1955 you might want (need?) to read this http://www.theguardian.com/money/2016/jan/09/state-pension-inequality-cost-women-20000-campaign

For those interested in how the changes to the definition of Affordable Housing and the contents of the Housing and Planning Bill might impact on what type of housing gets built and where in Dawlish, suggest take a read of the document by TDC Housing Services that has been placed online (Friday 12th Feb) on the planning docs page of the above (see very first post) planning applications.

The delay might have something to do with the Housing and Planning Bill that is presently going through Parliament. As what it contains when it becomes an Act of Parliament might well impact on Local and Neighbourhood Plans perhaps TDC is holding back from making any decisions re DA2 until they know how DA2 might be impacted by this new Housing and Planning legislation.

So.....if the police are short staffed (or any other public sector workforce for that matter) it is not that workforce's fault. Some might say it is the fault of the government for its continual financial cutbacks in the funding of the public sector. Others might say it is the fault of those who voted in the government
