This is the latest information we have from Network Rail about re-opening the path along the sea wall. All dates are provisional given that they are dependent on working around rail services and weather conditions Dawlish Warren to Dawlish · The section from Boat Cove to Coast Guard footbridge is open- repairs will be ongoing for the next four weeks along sections of the ...
@flo I am sending a copy of your comments to our County Councillor, John Clatworthy. I'm sure he would appreciate talking to you directly. If you would like to contact him to arrange this, his email is John.Clatworthy@Devon.Gov.UK
@leatash firstly, as Margaret rightly states, Amazon only provides your reading needs if you can afford it secondly, as Lynne rightly states, Libraries provide much more than books The situation with the Exeter Refuge is not quite as you state. It is closing because the County has removed its contract and placed funding with an organisation that provides support in a different ...
Anyone who is currently buying electronic books might like to see how they can borrow them instead from the library service. http://www.devon.gov.uk/index/cultureheritage/libraries/ebooks.htm

This is especially true for children. How many times have you been into a library and been tempted by a display to ...
There is good and bad news for Dawlish. Our library is designated to continue as a "Hub Library" for the County Service. The rub is that 28 libraries across the County may close, and library staff will inevitably lose their jobs. A library without librarians is a room full of books. Our librarians in Dawlish thrive on being part of a countywide team that supports each other. They learn ...
@flo Essentially, the situation is unchanged from that described in the earlier postings on this thread. We know that TDC takes the view that some form of provision at Lanherne is (In their view) the best option possible. Some early feasibility planning has been done, but not to the extent that a developed option is available yet for consultation with stakeholders. i think it also ...
