Dave Hutton and Scott Williams gave feedback on Turn the Tide event. The event feedback had been very positive and messages were still being received with a more formal feedback process planned. It had been well attended and small business sales and interaction with stalls had been good. After the Lawn event there had been Choral Tide (a musical event) at the Hope Centre and that had gone very well. It was hoped to repeat the event in the future.

RESOLVED: that the expenditure report for 2023/24 events was approved.

To consider and decide whether the Dawlish Loves Dogs event should become a Council run and organised event for 2023.

Councillor Hardy gave background to the event run in 2022. The event came about through a question on a residents forum on Facebook when many people indicated they would like a dog focussed event. It had taken place in September 2022 and had been a very positive event with lots of good feedback. It was hoped for 2023 it could have more stalls and be focussed on the same theme of responsible dog ownership. The provisional date was 24^th September 2023. Unfortunately the volunteer organisers could not commit to the time in organising the event hence the request to the Council.

RESOLVED: (Councillor Hardy did not vote) that the Council would run the Dawlish Loves Dog event in 24^th September with assistance from the volunteer organisers and it should retain its focus on dog ownership/issues.

To receive and note updates about forthcoming planned events for 2023.
