Remark on Sidmouth Herald Streetlife:
“I’ve just started looking through the online plans and have already found some things that are not quite how they have been made public.
The inpression created, for me at least, was that the well-being facilities and restaurant would be open to non-residents. It is not quite as open as all that.
Visitors can use the restaurant, and I assume that means people who are visiting those living there as it clearly defines another category of people who can use the well-being facilities as Non-Residents.
Non-Residents are people living in Sidmouth and who are over 60 years of age, with priority give to those whose property borders the Knowle.
This only runs for 3 years from the time they achieve 50% occupation of the site.
Don’t be misled into thinking that they will be providing some sort of resource for the town.
Oh, and they say they expect to employ 14.5 people in total. If that covers the restaurant, well-being facilities, cleaners, gardeners and care assistant/nurses as well as management it doesn’t bode well for high standards in anything.”

As usual the devil is in the detail – for every proposal EDDC makes, someone needs to delve into the detail to check that all is what it seems.
