General Discussion

Could it be that Dawlish recycling centre was closed to enable Sainsbury's a back entrance for their delivery lorries off Shutterton estate?

Apparantly Sainsburys are not allowed to bring their main delivery lorries in through the general public access off the main road. In a recent converastion with a Sainsburys contract worker over a pint of beer one night in a Dawlish pub he became very cagey when discussing this possible option of coming in through Shutterton and refused to say any more on the matter.

Maybe I like a few others in Dawlish are cynical about this whole process, and a few underhand (or dare I say backhand) decisions have been made without public notification? Maybe Sainsbury's, like Nightfreight, have bought access through the private road on Shutterton, we know the council are in need of financial help now dont we? Maybe they will invest this money in sorting out the road on Shutterton so I dont have to worry about buying a new tyre every time I make a visit to Crockers!

Just a thought . . . . .

There is without doubt a whole load of agreements between Sainsbury's and the three levels of council which the general public and business owners are not being informed about.

Anyone who has spotted that Sainsbury's appear to be doing exactly as they please, flouting planning laws, advertising controls, road traffic laws etc, and have bothered to question this with the authorities will probably be still waiting for answers.

There is a very guilty vow of silence which proves the points Fronteraman made on here earlier in the year. There is definatly a hidden agenda behind this development.

Ask your district councilors one simple question. At Tesco's juditial review regarding their planning application for Ladys Mile. Why were Sainsbury's allowed to have a barrister present to cross examine Tesco's ? surely the appeal against planning was between Teignbridge D C and Tesco's and had nothing to do with Sainsbury's.

I can only guess that as our elected Town council has now fallen appart That Sainsbury's actually run the town now

As the Tesco challenge to the TDC decision re Sainsbury's was heard by a judge - hence its being a judical review - I imagine Sainsbury's had a barrister asking questions of Tesco because they were legally entitled to do so.

If anything legally untoward had happened at that judical review don't you think that Tesco/Sainsbury (delete as appropriate) would have made a fuss?

Seems to me that the presence of a barrister acting on behalf of Sainsbury's was nothing to do with the district councillors and everything to do with the law of the land.
