The number of tourists that say Dawlish Brook is now a dump is enormous. Another reason on top of the roadworks, overpriced parking, general decay that is driving tourists away. Maybe our useless Lib Dems could rent the islands all along the Brook out.

A PRIMARY school in Dawlish has received high praise from Ofsted inspectors. Gatehouse Primary School’s inspection report particularly highlighted personal development, inclusion and wellbeing at the school, now under the leadership of new head of school Jason Stephens.

It doesn't matter about all the rubble spoiling the brook then!

Looks like The Lib Dems are competing with the Greens to become the most extreme. No longer Liberal or Democratic, just like The Greens are no longer Green.

Lib Dems, the party that does nothing for you.

Why didn't the police just kick sand into the pit to put it out instead of calling out brigade?

I wonder what next major work will be scheduled for Dawlish in the coming year to increase the amount of disturbance to the economy/tourism. I expect it will involve construction, concrete and closing off roads and possibly digging up or building on The Lawn!

Chances are the mattress and chairs did not even get wet!

And when the parasites in power eventually get their cost saving way to centralise all emergency services the situation will get far more dangerous for us peseants.

Police, I did not realise they still existed down here!!!!!!

Might be worth actually dredging The Brook so it had more than a couple of inches of water in it for the ducks/swans first.

Somewhere for all the old Dawlish crackheads/drunks to sit, how thoughtful.

It's a shame the council didn't put flags up around the town. Then again they would probably put the EU or Palestinian flags up.
