General Discussion
For various reasons I couldn't see the procession on Friday but have seen it on the facebook page - looked great. Having spoken to someone on the committee it's interesting to note how few councillors went to any of the activities and that the town centre manager was also absent all week
I heard that the vote was in favour of the play park, but don't know more than that. It was 4 -3 in favour. Those in favour were Cllrs Clemens, both Fennes and one other that I can't remember. Against were Cllrs Wrigley, Lowther & Almond I believe
DTC are caving in to pressure from the Chamber of Trade who want the play park under the impression that it will bring more business. The Town Centre Development Manager is pushing for this too.

The new(ish) system means that if you phone on the day for an urgent appointment you get the duty doc, if you phone wanting an appointment with your GP in a week you have to also phone at 8.30 - which I think is bloody stupid, everyone phoning at the same time!

Out of 300 million people the best they can come up with is those two. Probably time for a meteor to hit, wipe us all out and start again......
The Town Council are organising it this year, the first weekend of December.
On Monday 27th (tomorrow) at 7pm there is a meeting for volunteers to attend at the Royal British Legion Club. A chance to support the week of events even if just for a few hours. If you can get to the meeting brilliant, if not and you still want to help then email dawlishcelebratescarnival@outlook.com
