Mcjrpc, I did not think it was a wry dig at Burneside, I thought it was a biased and prejudiced comment. For clarity, I have no on-going feud with any Councillor. If wanting the best for Dawlish, and endeavouring to make sure correct information about proposals for Dawlish get into the public domain, is being perceived as a feud then the perception is inaccurate.
Well I did not miss your slanderous comments, which I believe have been passed to those concerned.
As a Councillor I do need to point out the error in Councillor Vickery's post where he says the cost of Councillor time is not repaid, Councillors are volunteers, they do not get paid for the time they spend on council business so there is no financial cost.
Mcjrpc, I await the answer to your question with bated breath! As a Councillor I do not know the answer as I have heard several different answers to the same question.
I am a bit perplexed by Robert Vickery's post at 17.42 today as he is the Councillor who has led on the proposals for the Cultural Arts Pavilion, the sole aim being to bring big events into Dawlish on a regular basis, ie tourists, yet his post indicates that he would like to ban tourists!
So you have finally come out of hiding Judith! I'd be very very careful what you say in the future! And NO, Phil Bagshaw does not live on Riviera Terrace, but I think you already know that don't you?
Thanks Andysport, no wonder it is empty!! I would have thought it better to drop rent and rates and have the building used than to have it sitting empty!
I agree with both Lynne and Fred, it really is this sort of creative thinking our town needs!
Brooklyn Bride that is exactly what happens in Dartmouth now! They have a beautiful bandstand in their town centre gardens, which is entirely in keeping with the historic town, and bands play weekends throughout the season to large crowds.
Thanks Lynne. As already stated by others, this appears to be the obsession of one particular Councillor, but at the yellow book stage I believe the concept of the cultural arts pavilion was deemed to be flawed and thrown out so it does beg the question why we are being presented now with a flawed plan?
