Winter arrives with a vengence

What a glorious half term week we have enjoyed.
Dawlish Warren was buzzing with lots of families enjoying the wonderful weather . The trees in their wonderful Autumn colours have been execeptional this year.Caravans were leaving one after the other on Friday making  their journey home. Most of the camps are now closed as we settle into the quiet time of the year. 
 
The rain and gales have arrived today with carpets of leaves everywhere. 
 
Dawlish Town Council are looking to Regenerate the Town and Dawlish Warren.Details of the scheme will be on dispaly at The Shaftsbury Theatre on Nov 11th. Members of the public can visit and make their comments.
 
Why can't the bus drivers be allowed to park in the Barton Car park for free.
 
 At present they park in Piermont Place and discharge their passengers. then  drive the Coach to Sandy Lane Car Park. There is nowhere the driver can get a cup of tea or a meal.
Why can't he park in the Barton car park where he is within walking distance, get some refreshments perhaps a free meal.He may be inclined to stay longer in Dawlish and not just stay long enough for the passengers to have a quick look around and then disappear.
