I am with you mate.. i live out of the district but STILL have to ring my dad and tell him what is going on.. and if i dont speak to him, he comes on here to check out what we are all chatting about and finds out himself! He wont post though... he is a bit of a technophobe ( I have to check his facebook... typing of which.. should really check it)
Sadly the money that was used for the seafront work was as part of a government grant programme with heavy conditions attached.
It would be great if we could have found a way to use it to improve access to the seafront (not sure if DDC thought of this or tried to explore the idea maybe one of our local reps can inform us) but it is at least money being spent on the town.
There are other funds available that DDC can tap into, that it may well be possible to use for some "street scene" improvements in the town centre - lets hope they do not miss the boat.
Finally, what was ASDA's section 106 money earmarked for?
