Going through passport control shouldnt be easy thats one of the reasons we voted to leave every person entering any country should be very carefully scrutinised. I remember the days when if you drove across Europe you had to show your passport at every border and have your car checked before entering that country and thats how it should still be.
You have to remember we have lost 50% of the parking in the Strand and if TDC get there way with the cycle path we will lose more spaces in Brunswick Place above the bowling green bridge, parking is at a premium in the summer but hey Sptember the 6th will soon be here and things will revert back to normal. Another car park but where would you build it how about a multi storey on the Barton Car ...
More folk want to holliday outside of the UK so it stands to reason that the more who want to fly the more delays will happen and burneside you are so right the UK has so many great places to visit. Take a trip to Gairlock miles of sand amazing mountain scenery and wildlife from Eagles to Humpback Whales crystal clear water friendly people and great food and not a deck chair in sight, and of ...
Idylic features? The Lake District has idylic features, as do the Highlands of Scotland, Dartmoor and the South West Coastal Path, but the Lawns, that's stretching things just a bit. Then there's the Lawn environment it's an area of grass, its not even well maintained. Now 30 years ago it was a sight to behold, well maintained wonderful flower beds, with a team of gardeners who took pride in ...
What i would like to know is how many Dawlish residents use the lawn on a regular basis now i have been here 33 years and have spent no more than 1 or 2 hours on the Lawn yes it's a nice green space and visitors love it, and it's used for a few events but most of the time it's just there empty and green. It strikes me that these days folk are not happy with any result that involves a vote Brexit, ...
Population about 15,600 give or take 600 so if thats the case about 3.7% of the population found the time or had interest in the new playpark and a referendum came about we would have the same result because nobody cares.
The point is the people voted and for Dawlish 570+ votes is not bad, about the same as the vote for work on the Strand what the low number of votes says to me is the people of Dawlish dont give a monkeys whether it goes there or not and lets be honest only a handfull of folk are interested one way or the other.
I would have thought that a play park in the town centre would be less of a target for vandals than the one at the Manor and yes kids get up to no good but the same applies to lots of adults i witness it every Friday and Saturday night.
I would rather the Lawns be made into a nice car park with free parking for town centre residents.
Thats no argument TDC are a business their car parks are profitable it stands to reason if they allow free parking they will not be prepared to lose revenue so will charge extra for something else well I can't carry on with the discusion as I am off to walk the Pennine Way, back in 10 days people.
