Tesco for Dawlish? NO! NO! NO!
Oh yeah? And what about our kids?! Our Kids?! You mindless moron. Our kids play there. Our kids walk to school across that area!!!!!
Apparently Tesco want to build on the land that Dawlish United presently play on as well as that presently occupied by Dawlish Town AFC.
Not such a small store after all then.
"Great location"???? There's NO such thing as a great location for any Tesco store - except at the bottom of the sea! Either that's a very funny ironic comment, or you've been paid to say it. So, how much was in your brown envelope?
Dear 007,
What I think some of us are extremely concerned about is the PROPOSED LOCATION of the supermarket.
Will parents PLEASE tell their kids it's not safe to play football in the sandy lane car park.
There are many people fighting to save the park opposite. Maybe it's the banging of the ball against the toilet doors and walls that gives them most pleasure.
You just hit the nail on the head.....Kids walk across there to school....nothing about playing there! Also wouldnt Dawlish rather have a new level football pitch where the ball doesnt roll away rather than the sad excuse for a pitch they have to use at the moment!!!!
Yes kids walk across the rec to school but they also play there. Indeed I think I'm right in thinking that a Youth Club and skate park are due to be built there in the very near future.
NOT the place for a supermarket. Plenty of other sites I feel sure.
Well, this is just the problem isn't it? Any supporters of the new store who live here are subject to some right heated verbal rubbish. DADS you are getting quite a bad reputation as I have been finding out quite recently. Some of your members are quite frankly verging on abusive. Stick this on your website! You will get no one on your side if you carry on in this way. Mind you, who cares? I'm all for it.
I went to the tesco consultation at the langstone cliff hotel and felt quite sorry for the tesco representative's .
I could't beleive how calm they kept and handled the verbal shouting and behaviour of some of the older generation, shame on them it was like watching a lot of children fighting in the playground to get their own way.
Ahem! It doesn't follow that those persons are members of DADS only that like DADS they don't want a supermarket built at Sandy Lane
I see in the Dawlish paper someone is trying to scare people into thinking that as Tesco own the Post Office, if they open the Supermarket they will relocate the PO there! What people will do to try and convert people.
Tesco postings are getting a bit tired now,
is time for a new subject.
At the end of the day it's all about NIMBY, at least the holidaymakers are not being picked on for a change.
I agree it was like fighting in the playground, but it was Tesco's that were doing all the bullying. I don't think there's much wrong with the little 1st former trying to hold his own against the big bad bat-wielding 6th-form bully - do you? Or should we all just lie down and let them walk all over us.
Tesco's were totally out of order at that consultation - they were rude, nasty, and antagonistic. And they were supposed to be trying to impress us!
I dont know what consultation you went to, we went to the Langstone for the Tescos consultation and we found all the representatives very helpful whether people were for or against it. Maybe if you went in with the same attitude you are writing with, you caused your own problems as soon as you opened your mouth!
Hi Ziggy, did you also notice how many of the older generation were watching over your shoulder, trying to see what way people were voting, as we did when we were filling in our forms, i was quite expecting a lynch mob waiting for us outside!!
Which playground were you in?
It definitely wasn't the same one as me.
I did not once see any tesco representative act the bully.
perhaps you were one of the bullies.
