Its such an easy solution. The bowling green, an amenity for 0.1% of the town, should be moved to the Manor Grounds. The plot can be used for a play ground. You've had the plot for years old folk, and its never too late to learn, so how about learning a whole new word:- SHARING. Move aside; you selfish old c**ts.

I think it says a lot for this forum that it allows you to publicise ad nauseam a putative rival. Given the free speech available here, and the likelihood of heavily-moderated pollyanna-ish propaganda on any site named 'ilovedawlish'.....I shall be staying right here.

You should be voting out any councillor who imposes this nonsense on you. If you got paid - even 10 pence - for your recycling, then okay, fair play, but you don't get a farthing. I have lived for several years in the Third world, and I ...

Wifi in Dawlish

Is there adequate wifi coverage in Dawlish for laptops? Is it free? (i.e unsecured access) Thanks

I agree. What shall we - as an unstoppable community force - do about it?

Clearly some kind of quality control is needed. Not censorship, but just weeding out the ... "sgispghspoig - yaroosh, yog yog," ..i.e the illiterate stuff. It is important to focus on the real issues. 1) Dog pooh. 2) Over-sexed old age pensioners. 3) Corruption in the town council. 4) The scarcity of charity shops.
