Just been looking at the proposals for Dawlish in particular and Teignbridge in general concerning how it is proposed Dawlish and the wider Teignbridge district will develop between 2013-2033. I see that under strategic policy S13 Town Centres is written: "There are no proposals for additional retail provision in Dawlish".

Not sure if the 'you' is aimed at me or  is a general 'you'.

I made that posting above as every now and then there is a call from some in the town that what Dawlish needs to get it going and get it regenerated is more shops etc so that it can compete with Teignmouth.  I disagree with that argument.

Now everyone knows though that they can call for as many more shops as they like - but it ain't gonna happen.

Dawlish is different from T'mouth. And it needs to play on that, imho, in order to help attract tourists/regenerate itself.
