General Discussion
@Mcjrpc & @Lynne not saying i don't disagree with either of you, because i do. still it's different to have passion and care for others and thier opinions then to introduce sniggers in your comments to items that put down others. not needed and no called for. I was asked to point out what I felt was Dirty Laundry by the person I felt was pushing it too much and I have. On course what I ...
"It is not for Councillors to indulge their whims and decide what is best for Dawlish". = Airing Dirty Laundry "I am a truly independent Councillor. I had to resign from Voices for Dawlish because some in that group did not like my independent thinking and my independent views being voiced and they still don't! I don't need or want to garner support I simply speak my mind". = Airing Dirty ...
@Margaret Swift - well i'm sorry but it is certainly they way it's coming over, airing of dirty laundry is something i'm not in favour of as a person. from what i read it's not exactly not "hunky dory". i know a lot of people who love the idea, and i know some that don't, i know others who wish to find a happy medium. it's not right and it's not wrong, its personal preference. something we should ...
the small line concerns me the the most there @Margaret Swift , whether people or fellow councillors agree with your "independant thinking" or not, this nor public is the place to display dirty laundry. However I am inclined to believe that it does look like a giant woodlouse. However it by a large margin better than we have at the moment, however I do not like it's size and it's ...
@leatash To some extend you are right, but you are so right you have forgotten something that is just as important. In this time some things are already established, well established such as the Air Show. If you replace the lawn and reduce it's size by including the likes of a play park within in it then companies and hard workers such as the Air Show, British Legion and Party In The Park are ...
From what I read, many are in favour of seeing the old Bandstand go and something new in it's situ, does it have to be so big, does it have to have an arts description inside, toliets etc, I don't think it really does. What I do think is that those working on this are doing an extemely hard job and they are not going to please everyone, they might not even please this generation but they might ...
Its all about location and how we can get people in our town and staying within when the do arrive. A play park straight of the beach instead of on the Lawn would boost massively. Kids would be screaming before they go on the beach and after they come of it that they want to go in the park, parents will give in and stay within the town longer. Surely this is what we want! Then when the ...
@michaelclayson seeing the picture of the manor before the playpark was there and looking back at the history in pictures when the manor had big iron gates and was a proper park with gardens and a pond etc, it was much more attractive that we see today, it would be lovely to restore that. Dawlish has too many play parks in fairness, in fact my kids always used the Newlands ones opposed to the ...
@Robert Vickery dawlish as you will know is reknowned and has a few items throughout the year that without would kill of our town alltogether. by taking up more room with a play park on the lawn these few events that work incredibly hard will loose out and will no longer be able to be accommodated on the lawn, this will be extremely sad. on another note a water feature/play park on tucks plot ...
I must say though I think that Tucks Plot and the crazy golf is quite crazily a waste of a plot and should be tucked away. Surely would an idea not be to pedestrianize Tucks Plot and then have the play park where the crazy golf is currently. meaning that kids are safe from the roads and that parents can come straight off the beach and are persauded to stay in our town longer by their kids wanting ...
