Is it me or is there the usual messed up reporting on Devonlive, along with the councillors comments, sounds like everyone is talking about the new Countryside park but aren't the repairs just at the Warren car park. Clemens, Hockin, Mayne & Wrigley don't appear to know what they were commenting on
There are two separate projects. Devon Live has got itself mixed up, however despite appearances the councillors haven’t.
From the report it seems that Cllrs Clemens,Hockin, Mayne and Wrigley are talking about the countryside park.
Cllr Gordon Hook, Leader of the Lib Dems at TDC, seems to be the one who is confused as as he talks about the car park at Dawlish Warren.
It doesn't help that the article shows pictures of the Dawlish Warren car park.
As DM says - it's Devon live that has got its wires crossed.
Hook isn’t confused, Devon Live have taken an old quote of his about the inner car park at the Warren, and wrongly inserted it into this story about the car park at the Countryside Park.
I believe the pot holes are due to the weather which has been unexpected in the UK for the last 10000 years a spokesman said "wow who would have expected road surfaces to deteriorate" is there nothing interesting happening on this site!?
I wouldn't have expected the country park car park surface to have deterorated quite so quickly.
