The town clerk is an employee of the council. She was not elected into post she was appointed. That the town clerk is commenting on all of this is not of concern to me, indeed it could well be argued that it is part of her job. However , it is what she is reported to have said that is infuriating me (the 77% nonsense).
OMG!!!!!!! Even the town clerk is now using this 77% of residents voted in favour nonsense! Oh. no. they. did. not. Gross misuse of statistics.

On top of that, the Countryside Park land, although paid for by developers, ...
As I understand it, the reason we had to have this new country park is due to environmental legislation that orginated from the EU. When we leave the EU what bits of EU legislation gets kept as UK legislation and which does not, will be up for grabs. So.........if it were to be decided that the environmental legislation that meant that park had to be created in the first place was to no ...

Is what happens (or not) on the lawn the concern/responsibility of the town council?
I'd say it was more a case of a Subway opening in Dawlish provided someone is prepared to take on a Subway franchise (as opposed to Subway itself definitely intending to open a branch in Dawlish). https://subwayfranchising.com/en-gb/franchise/opportunities-cornwall-devon-dorset-channel-islands
Unless it's been altered (and I don't think it has) the Local Plan for Dawlish shows that there is to be a green 'corridor' betweeen the Gatehouse developments and the development at the Langdon Hospital site.
