General Discussion
One idea to incorporate into the costing of the project is directional speakers, integral to the bandstand/lawn. This would mean the people on the Lawn could enjoy the music/event, but without bombarding those living around the Lawn with amplified sounds. Just a thought.
@leatash - 'legal requirement', 'legislation'. darling, this is not north korea!
@burnside - I tend to agree with you. How many times have we heard those desperate words from those in power. 'If I get in for another term I will do this and that'. When will those in power realise that if they actually pulled their fingers out of their @@@@'@ during their term in office. More people would vote them back in, without the need for them to hold empty promises above their heads, but ...

@roberta - it's a shame you do not wish to vote as you see no one worthy to lead. if you were to play the long game with your vote you may actually see a positive change, although it may be several decades away for our little country.

@michaelclayson - i appreciate your reply and after reading your comments as to why this project was handled in this way. i understand that the council had to be more expedient than normal in trying to secure the funds for dawlish. I still standby my feelings that we should not be forced to disfigure Dawlish in a rushed attempt to gain funds from central governement. Dawlish should be ...
I feel that this planning application with a target date of the 24th June 2014 is starting to smell a bit like the Manor House fiasco. Why do I keep hearing comments about letting the people have their say as to what they would like. Well after money has already been spent on detailed plans, 3D images and planning already submitted awaiting approval. If, and I say if, the Dawlish people had ...
@webmaster , appreciate the reply.
