Save Dawlish from over development and lack of town investment

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

Dawlish is a lovely seaside town which is falling victim to overdevelopment and ill thought out planning. Roads are pot holed, schools and Drs becoming over subscribed and no thought is being given to safety when allowing lorries to thunder through congested roads at school times. See update!
The latest lunacy is proposing construction traffic should be diverted down SANDY LANE ... With a tight blind corner by a playground and down an already damaged quieter residential street. WHERE IS THE PROMISED LINK ROAD? Dawlish is being crippled this year by three major events being cancelled, add to that the overdevelopment and lack of sensible town planning and investment and we are looking at this beautiful town disappearing from the Tourism map.
