I can clear up Oberserver's concerns as to whether any law has been broken, it hasn't! This was an email sent to all Councillors not marked private or confidential. It was concerning the late item I brought up at the meeting on Wednesday regarding possibly linking with Minehead as we may have something to learn and help us with regenerating Dawlish. The email was quite dismissive of my suggestion, ...
Sorry Mrs C there was a need as scathing remarks were made about the posters on here in a cowardly and uninformative way. The person has not made similar comments in public about the posters on here and one wonders why. And when I talked about the posters on here being interested and informative I wasn't including you as I find you to be the rudest person on this forum with little of interest to ...
Michael was very supportive of my proposal and in fact was my seconder to the proposal. He had done his own research and thought a visit would be worthwhile. I have only started posting since I semi - retired in April and so have the time to read about what is concerning and interesting people in our town. In that short space of time I have found the people who post to be genuinely interested in ...
Sorry, I got the above wrong! It was well received by MOST Councillors. Since the meeting one Councillor sent a condescending email which was rather scathing about my suggestion and about the people who post on this forum. However, the Locum Town Clerk has written to Minehead Town Council and Vision group and hopefully the visit will go ahead.
The plans for the replacement bandstand can be viewed at The Open Daw thanks to a Dawlish resident who purchased a set of the plans and to Open Daw who agreed to have them on display for the public to view. There is to be a public consultation towards the end of June with a survey, available both on-line and in paper versions, for people to complete and have their say about what should be built ...
Have you ever been to the Bridgwater or Taunton carnivals? Everyone knows about the Bridgwater carnival but Taunton carnival is equally stunning and people come from all over to visit them. That could be us one day!
@FredBassett , thanks go to both you and Lynne for passing on the information and the very useful links to the work of the vision group. I did raise the suggestion as a late item at last night's meeting and it was well received by all councillors. The challenge now will be to keep the focus strategic rather than operational at this point, but not everyone seems to understand that concept. It ...
The Town Council are to debate and decide on Wednesday evening this week how to consult with the people of Dawlish. Do come along to the council meeting and share your ideas about how best we can really reflect and represent your views and not the whims of Councillors. What happens in Dawlish over the next few months is entirely up to you the residents, we need to know what you think and what ...
Good point Huw. Fortunately the conservation officer who precided over Dawlish, Mr Bland, has moved on. In case you think I am joking re his name, I am not! But.....he did live up to his name! Along with one Councillor he was entirely responsible for the viaduct bridge being painted the awful colour we live with to this day, a colour that does not match any of the town furniture and is truly ...
