See below extract from minutes of full Dawlish Town Council meeting held last week (6th March). A letter had been received from Teignbridge’s Planning Department regards the preliminary enquiry to the suggestion of siting a playpark near to the Tourist Information Centre on The Lawn.

Thanks. I'll ask one of our district councillors for an explanation then.
No idea - but it would appear that Teignbridge has allocated funds for a play park which would suggest they believe one may be coming forward in the not too distant future?
@maki1 - is this £75k (S106) money the amount that is presently left from the £200,000 S106 money that Sainsbury's handed over to TDC to be spent on things related to Dawlish town centre as part of the planning permission granted back in 2008/9?
Teignbridge have approved an allocation of £75K in their recently approved budget for 'provision for Dawlish play space flagship provision (S106)'. Bid44 - top of page 4 of the below link https://democracy.teignbridge.gov.uk/documents/s3342/Report%20app%207%20Capital%20Programme.pdf

Again! Just give us the HSTs decommissioned by GWR!
I suspect it’s all gone quiet as those councillors who want the playpark also want to be re-elected but wouldn’t be if they were to speak the truth about their wishes and plans. I suggest you don’t vote for anyone who has not spelt out very clearly what they propose to do for the town.
