Can you be clearer about your information? Who has informed you? Which Council? Who classified it as redundant land? When did Tesco make their offer, and to whom? Did you attend the meeting some three years ago in the Community College hall when Alan Connett said that Sandy Lane was not up for sale? He hasn't yet changed his tune and he is Leader of TDC.

It would have been logical since the Council offices and Committee rooms have to be paid for and presently (2008/09) cost the council tax payer £30,898 per year which the Town Council have the cheek to assume they get free of charge, and accuse the community users of being subsidised to the tune of £29,680. The figures don't coincide but they represent the same thing, the share of heat,light, ...

Because someone drew plans but didn't explain to the client what "Fence to detail" meant. Someone else didn't ask the question what it meant and so a stockade was erected and then everyone exploded in disgust/horror so the Town Council rushed down to have a look. Now there's rather a lot of surplus fencing timber and an extra charge on the contract for the altered enclosure. I would put all ...

Whether there was or not, The Town Council has completed and now owns 34 Park Road. Watch out for your council tax demand.

I believe there's some misunderstanding about the sockets between the paving along some sections of the sea wall, particularly between the viaduct and Boat Cove. The diamond shape sockets were to lock the limestone slabs together with molten metal, and were not the base of railings. If you doubt me, measure the distance between sockets and you will find that it varies greatly, and it's too great ...

The answers to your questions are: 1 I don't know what caused the disconnection. I know nothing. I changed nothing. 2 I eventually called in Blackboard Associates (free advert) and only after Ian Birdsey spoke to the call centre in Asia did they accept that the problem lay outside this house. 3 The service was restored within 24 hours

Thanks very much. I think I understand the gist of your technical bits. I have been running speed checks and it shows that my download speed is 160 Kbps on average and this seems quite low for a connection of 'up to 8 Mgbps'. Today I lost the connection again for about an hour and during that time the Pipex lady in the far east rang me. She asked me to disconnect everything and called back later ...

I recently lost my broadband connection via Pipex and when it was restored ten days later the speed was considerably slower (seems about a quarter the previous speed). Does anyone else have similar problems? Is there a different provision for broadband being made in Dawlish?

What a hornet's nest I appear to have stoked with a simple question! I found the Lawn full of happy people that day. It was a fairly magical transformation and much less damaging than the massive fairground installation. The PITP seemed to be the sort of event that might bring more visitors to Dawlish and its shops and cafes. Sorry that it has not met the standards preferred by Viaduct=Dullish.
