Congratulations to Shirley Fewings from the Volunteer Bureau on being awarded the MBE. Another Dawlish resident to be proud of!
I agree Fred that some things aren't suitable for the Lawn e.g. The Muse concerts held in Teignmouth but equally the Warren isn't suitable for lots of the things your suggesting should be held there. They can't get through the tunnel under the railway lines!
My grandchildren love being read a story from a proper book, with colours and pictures and sometimes things that move too! they also love using computers, iPads, parents phone apps etc. but that is often a solo activity or too stimulating before bedtime. My elderly grandmother who doesn't have Internet access nor does she want it uses the library regularly, it's a lifeline for her, books and ...

Leatash - I don't have knowledge of all the industries you list but you are wrong about car manufacturing, as a fairly recent Top Gear programme proved when they filled The Mall in London with British made cars, heavy plant, motorbikes, tractors and formula one vehicles. Britain is a country of entrepreneurs, small industry and business is doing reasonably well. But how are our young people ...

They want time with their friends, they want to leave school and enter the adult world, they want to push boundaries and they want a future.
