Students at Dawlish College have demanded that Devon highways bosses take urgent action over road safety near their school before a tragedy occurs.

It’s unfortunate that the Christmas lights switch-on in Dawlish got cancelled due to the weather, but safety comes first. It’s great that the shops and Christmas Market will still offer entertainment, and hopefully the Lantern Parade rescheduled for Sunday will bring some festive cheer despite the setback.
Shocking to hear about these incidents in Teignmouth and Dawlish. Glad to see a swift response from the police and that the case is moving to court. Hoping the victims recover quickly, and that the legal process brings clarity and justice. Thanks to everyone who helped keep the community informed.
It’s good to see the authorities taking swift action in these cases. Hopefully, the legal process will ensure justice is served and the community can feel safer. Incidents like these are always concerning, so it’s important that residents stay aware and report anything suspicious to help prevent further crimes.
Dawlish has been in a state of chaos for nearly a decade now and the council does not help with the utter downward spiral it has been sent in, in my opinion.
