Just to let us know that the work will most probably go on through out the holiday season and the beach will be closed off. I would not be suprised if the beach onwards to The Warren from Dawlish gets NO DOGS signs put up for this season. So another holiday season for Dawlish pooped on. Yes, before all the haters start up on this site.....I understand the work needs to be carried out and there ...
Ignorant cyclist putting walkers in danger whilst he cycles along the sea wall between The Warren and Dawlish. On occassion I have confronted those ignorant people who cycle along the sea wall only to be verbally abused and in some cases, if it wasn't for my size, physically assaulted. As long as there is no enforcement dickheads will continue to upset the rest of us, same for a lot of ...
So Brooklyn Bridge what you are saying is if a Police Officer is doing a good job we should turn a blind eye if he or she breaks the law. I have been told the person who reported the indiscretion had been given words of advice about riding there bike on the footpath so if that is correct it's understandable.
@Brooklyn Bridge Mobility scooters although necessary for a lot of people but riding them actually on the road is a no-no of which I have seen on a number of occasions. Well mobilty scooters have to cross any road to get to the otherside, there are places where there are no foot path, and there are plenty of times where vehicles park on the pavement and do not leave enough room to pass for ...
Hi 1263, I say grateful as we had nothing in the past but a couple of PSCO's with no arrest power,he did walk the beat as it were before having the bike. I think it's better than driving around in the police car/van all day. But I do agree with you that if we are paying more council tax there is a need for another police officer. How it is now the one we have when on an early shift ends at 4pm and ...
12th of never.
Brooklyn bridge - Grateful ?????............. that is what we pay our council tax for. The unelected crime commisioner said we would need to pay more for policing (again). Now we have electric bikes.....why not just have the bobby walking the beat.
It'll be good if those standing outside when the weather is good actually moved out the way when people are trying to walk past.
We all should be grateful that we have officer Mark patroling our town. There are numerous times you see many people riding their bikes on the pavement most of which don't care how they ride them weaving in and out around people. Mark has been instrumental on getting rid of most of the druggies and alkies from the lawn area and the town, yes, we still have them from time to time. Mobility scooters ...
It seems a little strange that he has been told to stop riding the bike because of the complaint. Would he not be told to just ride on the cycle paths and roads during normal patrols? As to pursuing law breaker I would have thought he would be allowed to cycle on any pavement that he would not be normally allowed on. I wonder what the Rotary of Dawlish think of this decision, if true. ...
