General Discussion

I suppose the question is now the fair has albeit disappeared who will have to pay to put the lawn right, council tax payers probably, I walked down there yesterday and it looks trashed, it seems pretty obvious if you drive heavy goods vehicles on wet ground its going to sink, the fairground people seem to be oblivious to this. I cannot help but think this town is going down the pan at a geometric rate and the so called town council do nothing!

The fair pays enough rent to the council for the lawn to be re seeded etc.
Whats wrong with having the fair its been coming for years.

The Fair pays money to Teignbridge Council for the use of the Lawn - it would be interesting to know how much goes back into the repair of the Lawn or even if any of it comes back to Dawlish at all.

It really annoys me that if you want to hold a charitable event on the Lawn there are loads of conditions to be met, including no burger vans etc yet a commercial venture like the fair can do what they like.

So as usual the lawn is destroyed at the busiest time of year, the first week of the school holidays and families can't use the biggest part of the lawn and can't afford the extortionate prices of the rides. Great idea.
