of many town residents. Tesco is considering putting
forward planning application to build a supermarket there.
A group of residents set up Dawlish Against Developing
Sandy Lane (dads) in September are trying to stop plans going forward.
Tesco held a public consultation at the Langstone Cliff Hotel in December
where they put their proposals to the town and asked for feed back.

he said the meeting became "rather heated" and others who attended
the consultation both in support and in protest confirmed this opinion.

establish wether or not the town wants another supermarket.
