So during the towns busiest time, the weekend when the kids are off school and the holiday makers swap over the unit is closed. Also why is it an appointment based service now and how do you make an appointment. The managers that make these decisions seriously need to have their jobs removed on the basis of total incompetance.

Doctor attended late mother in law at 10.15 am. He rang and ordered an ambulance to urgently transport her to Dawlish hospital from Sainsburys end of town. It eventually arrived at  9.45 pm almost 12 hours. No excuses this is totally unacceptable and borders on being unfit for purpose.

Can somebody supply Carer with an isolation tent then he wont have to risk being part of the human race anymore. What a dribble this non-human is

What has it got to do with Teignbridge council. When we questioned planning at one of the consultation meetings we were told that Network Rail dont have to get local planning consent as they have blanket coverage from central government to pretty much do what they like on their own property. What you mean is TDC decided to stick their hooter in, waste more council taxpayers money and no doubt had ...

They should have bought the land by Langdon if they were serious. Would have been better than a load more poor quality wood huts with prices our local youngsters will never be able to afford

Due to its proximity to Langdon prison (hospital) and non-requirement for local people plus the no doubt wood hut cheap and nasty over crowded construction thus forming a modern slum how about Criminal Close Mental Way Hide the truth Avenue Another dump road Single parent drive Asbo lane

The Dawlish Warren event wasent illegal so people need to get their facts right. It was held on private not public land and was attended by invitation only. Its an annual event that locals are well aware of. Those holiday makers who complain about it know where the M5 is so use it and go home

Brilliant event managed to believe we were back in the real world for an hour. Of course the odd few sheeples tried to spoil it by wondering around with their stupid looking face masks on. Far better than the Dawlish Warren rip off on Thursday afternoons. Come on Powderham lets make it a regular thing

Has anybody seen a copy of the official Traffic Order granted by the dept of transport that DCC have a legal requirement to obtain before instigating these restrictions. I very much doubt they have applied for and been granted such, in which case the restrictions are unenforceable and the signage is just another waste of tax payers money. No doubt the idiot Stuart Huges is behind this.

The main reason for the five month delay in forcing the face coverings is that in March there was no available stock of masks in the country. Since then the government have bulk ordered £millions of pounds worth of masks from China knowing full well they are cheap and nasty replica's of British Standard products and that they will not offer any form of protection. However having now distributed ...

How many new build affordable houses can you build on a bowling green ?

The £85,000 per year salery for her role as police commissioner is probably not her only income sorce as the job obviously comes with additional benifits. What about her pension and golden handshake payment when she leaves the post. Pretty shure the police authority would benifit financially without her.

If you are white, heterosexual, christian in religion, british born and bred following several generations, non dependant on drugs, booze or benifits, own your home or business, dont belong to a gang and have managed to avoid prision or bankrupcy, then the UK is not the place for you anymore so why bother to vote. No matter which party form the next government if your as above you will become a ...

Also if you have paid the max 35 years national insurance you cannot claim jobseekers therefore you will not be classed as unemployed

Remember why the independant voices for Dawlish ousted the last lot of snowflakes we had on DTC and TDC next thing will be Younger-Ross back on his soap box. Not saying the Con-servatives are any better, just supose we have to be gratefull we dont have any of Corbyns clowns around here

We still aint got mains gas so not expecting fibre broadband anytime soon

What peope do with their own property and that includes houses is their own business, and fake news DevonLive and local councillors need to keep their noses out. On the other hand what local authorities do with their properties is of public interest so this story needs re-targeting.

His connection to Exeter University says it all, just another Corbyn supportor or Libtard with no confidence that the UK as one of the top five world ecconomies can survive without the EU. Pussy!!!!!!

Yet another TDC fiasco. When are the tax payers of Teignbridge going to do something about this incompetent joke of a district authority. A public vote of no confidence needs to be raised asap.

Rumour has it that the CEO of Teignbridge District Council is leaving her post after the general election and is not being replaced. Thats a cool saving of £125,000 plus per year. All we need now is for a few more of    the nose in trough so called executives to go, and maybe a few of the less than useless councillors and we might be able to keep the public toilets open, mow the grass and even ...

@monty So your grievence is with the council not the travellers, Romany's etc. The original campers up on Haldon were a mixed bunch of hippies, new age travellers, society drop outs and the odd one or two that couldnt afford to live any other way. Some I know actually did have jobs taxed and insured their vans but as your point fell into the very same catogory as any others that couldnt afford ...

Apparently there is a new collection point just outside the front doors of Forde House. Comments noted from members of TDC staff include the bin men do a really good job considering its such a thankless task. Maybe they dont get paid as much as Ms Bullneck hence their lack of job satisfaction.

Just wondered if anyone is going to do anything to stop this abhorrent waste of public money at a time when bus and train services are having to be cut and our main road in and out of town is rapidly becoming unfit for purpose. How can a scheme with so little local intrest even be considered 150 attendancies at a public meeting of which 30% went to object. Come on local businesses this is just ...

I want them behind bars for treason

Shame they cant add a few of the Lab/Lib traitors still in this country

Sack the whole team and management and appoint Plymouth Argyle as the Enland team. Probably the same results but at a fraction of the cost and who knows they might even win something.

Bit like the Lib Dem tour bus eh Gary

six years in Langdon for trying to hold a conversation with a Duck. Mind you its probably not as bad as trying to get the truth out of TDC

So on reading todays Gutsache is seems Redrow have deliberaly tried to pull a fast one on Teignbridge and are now seeking discussions to talk their way out of their SANGS responsibility. Meanwhile the fence sitters at TDC are trying to blame Richard Weeks for not selling them his farm. Now if this had been you, me, or any other man in the street TDC would have been to court got an enforcement ...

Who cares about the financial implications of leaving, the biggest effect will  be on the EU side in any case. Just look at all the near bankrupt countries they are going to have to back up in the future, Greece, Spain, Italy etc. It will be the Euro that ultimatly fails, not the Pound. The biggest and most impotant issue with leaving will be a closing of the gates and the return to a closed ...

Sorry Leatash and Carer but your localism lets you down here. Having worked recovery on the M62 in my younger days I would say its a very worthy case for investment and improvement. Its the only East to West connection capable of maintaining the carraige of goods across that part of the country and onward down to the Midlands and South West. In the Winter months its the only route across country ...

More good news for the town then. Any more businesses, services, infrastructure leaving Dawlish the place is going to end up like a Calais migrant camp in a few more years. Any way will the last one out please turn off the lights, thats if we still have any of course

And we are told that the drains and sewers can cope with all the new house building. They cant even cope with a 30 min rain storm or an influx of holiday makers. A major re-think is needed by SWW and the councils. INFRASRUCTURE BEFORE HOUSES its that simple

The new timber framed houses are a total rip off and not worth a fraction of the asking price. In ten to fifteen years time Cranbrook will be the sort of 60s slum council estate the authorities up north have been demolishing in the recent past. If you cannot get the standard 10 year NHBC warranty on a new property then you should automatically suspect there to be something not right. Go into the ...

A similar thing happened a few years back with the carnival day procession which neariy had to be cancelled when the police refused to cover without the committee paying for extra cover. Not sure but didnt they have a moan about the pram race as well. Carer you maybe right

After the groundbreaking statement during the winter floods when the organisation representing at least twenty of the UKs leading charities stated that they would not be helping with the flood relief efforts as the people of Somerset where generally wealthy and able to sort out their own problems. A member of my team has now uncovered another scam tatic being used by at least one  charity and ...

Sure thing we could make it a tripple header Cats, Badgers, Pheasants. Need to get posh Mr Cameroons permission first though.

If there new houses the windows wont be big enough to let much light in anyway. Wooden shacks dont have big windows as they let the heat out, and the developers have to consider thermal efficiency etc. Cant understand why anyone would waste money buying one may as well buy a mobile home on the Warren.

@leatash - you forgot to mention the birds very important aspect, if you work for the environment agency that is

http://www.teignmouth-today.co.uk/News.cfm?id=808&headline=Cycle+trail+%E2%80%98will+go+ahead%E2%80%99%2C+says++county+supremo The councillor making the above promise has just been on the local TV news stating that Devon's roads need 750 million pounds of repairs. He has even invited the Prime minister to visit in person to see the state of the roads. With this in mind how can he promise tax ...
