For those that are interested. In addition to making requests on this thread for the town or district council to provide proof that they own the land known and referrred to as the Lawn, by simple way of a tittle deed. I also sent a pesonal message to councillor Clayson asking what the problem in obtaining such a document was. Quess what folks, totally ignored, which goes a long way to proving ...

@ burnside They havent got a clue, the whole project was rushed through at the last minute when the prospect of funding was discovered, and has subsequently cost us thousands thats without planning permission or a brick being laid. Imagine what the continuing costs are going to be.  All this I suspect being funded by the money they got for the sale of Park Road without any public consultation ...

@michaelclayson Once again your beating around the bush. As a freehold land owner myself I have a simple two page document known as a tittle deed which clearly shows the name and details of the land owner. All we ask is that you or TDC provide a copy of this document refering to the lawn. If everything was checked and above board as recently as 2010 why is it proving so difficult to provide ...

@michael Hear and understand what you are saying but as always you provide nothing to back it up. Tarmac or grass an area designated as being unsuitable for development due to the high risk of flood by the environment agency, remains unsuitable unless major work is done to elieviate the risk. In this case that work has not been done. As to ownership again whillst both the town and ...

Super facility just in the wrong place. Needs to be either on the Warren or part of bigger development of Shutterton. When it comes to mass public entertainment the Warren is ideal good parking, toilets, open space, the sound system can be oriented out to sea so less noise impact. It could also be more easily accessable from town if the re-development of the sea wall is more carefully planned. Why ...

Just been down great job guys, keep up the good work. Noticed a couple of theiving car booters there helping themselves, still I suppose it counts as re-cycling

A similar thing happened a few years back with the carnival day procession which neariy had to be cancelled when the police refused to cover without the committee paying for extra cover. Not sure but didnt they have a moan about the pram race as well. Carer you maybe right

@Robert Vickery So just to clarify the land gifted to the people of Dawlish was taken from them and given for free to Teignbridge district council by the Local Government Act 1974. Now the same district council want to rent it back to us. This means we  lose out twice. I think that before this fiasco goes out to public exhibition which in itself will incurr even more costs, you and the ...

@ken No miss-understanding your spot on. The whole thing is just another load of pie in the sky and is costing us thousands, just like the Strand project did. The council have yet to mention how much extra on top of the 1.75 million grant and Sainsbury's money they had to chip in to get that job finished.

@Robert Vickery As you were kind enough to point out when ownership of the lawn was transfered ie 1974, perhaps you could now complete this information with who sold it to TDC how much did the people of Dawlish get for it, and what was that money spent on. The other point of clarification brought to light by your post is that it sounds like DTC will need to lease the land back from TDC to be ...
