Instead of pledging to celebrate local  communities fix some of the issues in dawlish instead

A FORMER keen sea swimmer in Dawlish has taken to the water again for the first time in many years, inspiring her Dawlish care home to launch a brand-new swimming club for those living there.

MOTORISTS in Dawlish are poised for more misery as work to upgrade the gas network moves onto phase two. The project is ‘progressing well’, according to Wales & West Utilities. But the next phase will involve a month of disruption as multi-way traffic lights will needed.

COASTGUARDS in Dawlish were called out yesterday to reports of a wind surfer in distress. The emergency call had been made by a member of the public who was worried for the wind surfer’s welfare.

The Lib Dums have literally run Dawlish into the ground. Most of that ground is now mounds in the Brook. Surely people won't fall for their crap again.
