Dawlish Town Council is deparate for cash. Despite raising council tax, the Council ignores that the public are also cash-strapped, given we're in a cost of living crisis, instead encouraging us all to start gambling! With Council tax is going up even more, they're now getting inventive in how they extract yet more money from us all, so in this case we can retain our library, air ambulance and run ...
Lib Dem voters in Dawlish really ned to reflect on who they elect as Councillors. Dawlish NE Councillor and Cockwood resident Martin Wrigley, who since May 2023 has been Leader of Teignbridge District Council continues his anti-democratic campaign of misinformation forcing changes on Newton Abbot's Queen St, that the vast majority of residents and traders do not want. On Tues 27th February ...
Dawlish Town Council propose a Market in the town, or at least a trial. They require residents and traders to complete surveys but mention there is limited time. If you're aware of the controversial Queen St, Newton Abbot changes planned by Teignbridge District Council that face overwhelming opposition from local people and traders who were furious with the sham consulation that ignores their ...
@Ziggy Well done, that's fantastic. Thank you for the link. Your update also resulted in the deletion of your opening line, after I'd pointed it out; "We need your help! We need your views!" It's clear you're a Councillor. It's clear which one in particular. You don't want to discuss my reply to this topic you've posted in the Discussion section then? Or any replies ...
@Ziggy Is this an excerpt from the Dawlish Town Council website or their social media? Could you please provide a reference. Is it written by a Town Councillor? Or did you write it? I ask as it reads; " We need your help! We need your views!" I'm not aware of any Cllrs or Council staff called Ziggy. I doubt any staff are working on a Saturday morning. Wouldn't it ...
Were you aware that Dawlish Town Council has Town Councillor Surgeries? Every 2 weeks - Saturdays 10 a.m. until 12 p.m. In 4 different locations; Dawlish Library Holcombe Village Hall, Cockwood Village Hall St Mary’s Hall Dawlish Warren It is a “...surgery system, similar to those operated by many MPs, where any concerns within the parish may be raised.” and “Councillors ...
@Ziggy if you don't want to discuss the Manor Gardens bridge why don't you post your news item and updates in the News section? And please reference the quote (the paper or website, etc), otherwise why should anyone believe this quote was from Cllr Dawson? Why can't the bridge be constructed from wood? It is a renewable resource, cheaper than metal and it only has to bear the weight of ...
@Ziggy And where was the quote published? Why not provide the source? And what are your thoughts on that update?
@Ziggy Where is the update from? Who met with Teignbridge Officers?
@Carer Then you'd presume wrong. Your comment is actually pretty flippant. My posts so far have covered the lack of Councillor integrity, wasting taxpayers money, ignoring local people,etc. Discussion/ debate tends to focus on topics where there's disagreement, difference or the need for improvement. If you're not interested in discussion, then why not scroll past those listings? I am ...
