There must be plenty of rescue centres in this country that would like some help. After all, it will be them that will end up looking after all these imported rescue dogs when people get fed up with them.

Syed Jusef "advising " Devon and Cornwall police on hate crime. Next we require a woman advising the police on rape, a jewish person advising the police on anti-semitism et al.  If the police need "advising" on these issues then we are in real trouble. Who writes this guff in the dawlish news or is it just cut and pasted from dawson and jusef.

Disgusting behaviour from those awful young people. We never did anything wrong in my day.

Just in time for the holiday season. Les Dawson needs to get a petition going on toilet paper.

Les will be a nightmare.

Good to highlight this, plenty of shady characters hang around outside the co-op

Images of the days when a Bobby preserved the peace and acted without bias, well most of the time. Sadly those days are long over with our imported and culturally enriching, diverse extended communities, in my opinion.

As the Party has been taken over by an extreme religion and crackpots , and have no green policies, then I would avoid at all costs. The Monster Raving Looney Party are more sane.

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.

The not very Greens and Lib Dums have probably colluded to put the date back knowing they may well not win the seat.

Why not call it the VW camper/beetle show with may be a few old Porsche's thrown in rather than an ambigous title most will not understand? Yes I am a bit crabby today after spending 4 days in hospital after my body decided to eject a third of its blood supply ha ha ha.

Shame these councils cannot put a little effort into making the towns better rather than running them into the ground and charging us through the nose via our rates, in my opinion. Criterion 10. The beach must comply with the Blue Flag requirements for the microbiological parameter Escherichia coli (faecal coli bacteria) and intestinal enterococci (streptococci). The microbiological parameters to ...
