Parking Restriction in the Strand From 24 Jul 2020 to 31 Aug 2020 Dawlish Town Council's Temporary Traffic Restriction Order for parking restrictions between 10am and 3pm each day on the Strand will come into force from 27th July to 31st August to allow for social distancing at a peak holiday time.
