Save the play park on the lawn!
The Lawn in Dawlish IS the place for a new play-park in the town centre. The Lawn is a green space that is one of the jewels of the town, but it also has a wasted bit of land between the bandstand and bowling green (where most of the old people play a few times a month!!!) and are not currently enjoyed by the local YOUNG residents, their children and visitors alike. All of which bring in and will continue to bring in much needed revenue to the local shops and cafes and are so important to Dawlish's future (long after the rest of us older ones meet our maker!)
This IS the place for a new play-park to be built if Dawlish wants to compete with Teignmouth for much needed visitors and revenue!
So please vote and share!
Why is this important?
In July and August 2016 the Teignmouth and Dawlish Community Interest Company asked people in the street in Dawlish questions about plans to build a play park on The Lawn in Dawlish. (The idea is to build a park large enough to compete with the one in Teignmouth to bring more trade into town!).
The “consultation” concluded that 77% of Dawlish residents voted in favour of a play park on the Lawn, calculated from the results of 680 completed consultation questionnaires.
However it would seem that not enough old people were asked about it and as such the minority would like Teignbridge District Council to reconsider!
We, the undersigned, wish to record our absolute support for the proposal to build a play park covering the whole of the back Lawn in Dawlish and the sooner the better!
