General Discussion
While it is clear that opinions of the Oaklands estate are divided, Teignbridge may wish to seize on the critical appraisal of the Redrow planning application by the Dawlish Town Council Planning Committee to buy themselves time to consider options. As I read it currently, no SANGS = no £700k = no houses at Dawlish. Something will have to give...
Enjoy the cirl buntings while you can Leatash. But I agree with you on barn owls - in fact many of our raptors are in jeopardy from habitat encroachment, environmental changes and from over-zealous estate management. Having assisted locally in the rearing of a brood of barn owl chicks (including the gory bits) I have a better appreciation for the challenges our wildlife faces in the race for ...
Absolutely right Ken. And if TDC Councillor Stephen 'Bad Boy' Purser gets his way, our cirl buntings won't even get that. Nor for that matter Dawlish its SANGS (Page 9, today's Dawlish Gazette). And few will be fooled by the posturing (SP's and TDC's) on Affordable Housing.

The role of Chief Executive is a full time appointment. Post holders are selected on merit, against objective criteria, following public advertisement. They are appointed by the whole Council. As head of the ...
Kaz, without a public written statement on this matter, we are shooting in the dark. In the meantime, notwithstanding the imminent Christmas holidays (which will undoubtedly be a very uncertain time for the Weeks) we should gird our loins for a continuing land battle.
Booted into the long grass by an unelected TDC exec?
Ruled unconstitutional? By whom?
At last... a Judith Chalmers tune we can all be happy dancing to! ;-) PS Some great train and plane related stuff also on this link - which reminds me, I must get hold of a copy of the 2014 Dawlish Airshow DVD for my non-PC dad for Christmas!!
