Have you wondered why there's a lot of negativity on this site? Maybe it's because there's not a lot to be positive about.
Searching the web and found extract from a Core strategy document, looks like it relates to this post: Whilst the Northern Extension accounts for only about 20% of the total housing provision we consider that due to the Councils poor track record in delivering housing sites that, additional greenfield land within the Area Settlements such as Dawlish should be released immediately.

Sorry no, but a trip to Newton or Exeter market would at least determin if they would like to set up here, mind it would be even better if it was an all round marker like Newton then you get an assortment of stalls, but i guess then the town traders would be upset.
Just a suggestion. Before nagging the MP and Council. Giveb that it failed, would it be an idea to actually ask the people ay the Farmers market in Newton or Exeter if they would like to come to Dawlish. If they all said no there would be little point in you doing all the work to get one going. You could ask seek what they consider to be a good rate for the table on the lawn. Just an idea.
Yes you got it. As long as its advertised in Starcross around etc. Cream on the top is the hoilday trade, but to be fair you cant expect them really to walk around with meat, but eggs and jams etc would be fine to buy. Leaflet drop and advertise free on BBC Radio Devon local whats on. A4 in EVERY pub, libraries and tell EVERY farmer within ten miles. Word of mouth is best. Whatever you do do ...
It's simply the fact as said before on here, people living in Dawlish will not buy or support. Fact that their Farm eggs and meat are cheaper than the supermarkets does not seem to play a part.

There were a few mentions on here about Betfred not needed. I guess it is used though. No complaints that HSBC Bank left Dawlish and as you know Barclays Bank pulled out ages ago. By the way is good Boots do 'Midnight Pharmacy' they had a right battle to get prescriptiosn didnt they.
Homeless. Seems impossible to have a sensible discussion on this website as you see.
You have 'relocated' or simply moved here. The West Country is obsessed with the term 'incomer' or 'outsider', move to any other part of the UK the words are not used.
Its just that many born here are not very uk/worldwise and do not know better. They do not appreciate what they have though you do what you have found. Welcome.. but please dont call yourself an 'incomer'.
