Lloyds staff seem to be indicating Dawlish will close. So with Nat West closing too, that means no bank in Dawlish at all? Final nail in Dawlish Town Centre's coffin?
Yes Wondering, we'll be much safer with 60 year old firemen coming to rescue you ...

agree @Kaz . anyone know what happened to the original plan re the housing opposite gatehouse school, wasn't there originally a doctors on there? I'm not sure why Red Rock is so underused.

I see a new Town Manager has been appointed (glad I finally have my copy of Dawlish Gazette!). Tracy Scranage has lived in Teignmouth for 29 years and is former secretary of the Teignmouth Traders Association as well as recently working at SureStart in Heathfield.

An independent Scotland would spend about 10% of the Ministry of Defence's current budget of £33bn on defence. It would have its own air force - with about a dozen typhoon fast jets. There ...
