Dawlish Discussion

Fairly new to town, so can anyone tell me what's what with the shed like shop on the water front? Does it just open in summer or is it closed permanently? Is it privately owned or Council owned etc?

Opens in summer, no point in winter. Private business. it may be council property someone on here will know.

its leased from the Council not sure if its a yearly thing tho

A new lick of paint, colour coordinated to the railway bridge, wouldn't go amiss.

Who leases it and which council are we talking about?

TDC they used to ask for people to tender, dont know if they still do it like that

Thanks for that ..... posted for two reasons, it seemed run down / derelict which is a shame plus "retirement" is getting boring & looking for some work or a little venture. Where would one look / keep an eye out for the tender? Online or local newspaper?

Try contacting the people shown below. If they can't help they should be able to tell you who can.

Thanks for that Lynne, most helpful and greatly appreciated (=|:-)

It was very well run last summer, with attractive tables and chairs set out overlooking the beach. I used it a number of times. The people running it paint it before opening for the season. It must be difficult to keep it looking good because of the battering it gets from the sea in winter.
