Councillor Mary Mugford's Personal Blog
Welcome to my blog.†
My name is Mary Mugford, Conservative Member for Teignbridge District Council representing Dawlish Central and North East Ward, and Dawlish Town Councillor for Dawlish North East Ward, in South Devon.
The purpose of this blog is to try and keep you informed about my role and provide you with information and developments in the Teignbridge District Council Ward and our local Town Council Ward.
My Committee responsibilities with Teignbridge District Council include membership of Overview & Scrutiny Committee, Development Control Committee, Licensing Act 2003 Committee and Licensing Act 2003 Sub Committee No. 1
I will clarify my responsibilities in future posts....
The distinctive green and white Devon flag will soon be flying over the Manor House at Dawlish.
The concept of a Devon flag started a few years ago on a BBC website and the design by Ryan Healey has become a common sight across the County. At a time of change surrounding local government in Devon it is important to remember that every Town must take pride in our beautiful County and Dawlish will be flying the flag from the top of the Manor House as often as possible.
The flag is intended to emphasise the County's history, notably its Celtic roots. The green symbolises the fields,white for the sea and the China Clay industry, and a black edge to the cross to represent Dartmoor's granite mica.
The presentation of the flag will take place on October 16th at the Manor House Dawlish at 2pm.
The Flood Relief Plan was agreed at Teignbridge District Councul Executive meeting. Once completed, it should reduce the risk to the residents of Hazelwood and Beechwood Park.
More than 90 Residential and Holiday homes are on these sites. The last major flood event happened in December 2000 when residents were rescued by helicopter and boat.
The new pumping station will be constructed at no extra cost to the Council £28,000 will come from developer contributions held by Teignbridge Council and ear-marked for water course improvement within the Shutterton Brook catchment.
An additional £25,000 will come from the Environment Agency and £30,000 from the landowners of Beechwood and Hazelwood Park.
This is the beach at Dawlish Warren on one of the sunny days this summer. These days have been very few and far between but we are looking forward to an Indian Summer.
