There are a few middle-aged people in Dawlish who (slightly unadventurously) have lived in the town for their entire existence, but are there any who in the course of their life have never left Dawlish even for a day trip? i.e never been east of Langstone Rock or west of Smugglers Inn?
Let the charred wreck stand as a permanent memorial to vandalism. Kids will learn that if one of their own burn down a play area, it hurts everyone. In the fullness of time, build another somewhere else. Eg on Dawlish Lawn. (Teignmouth's play area is in a prominent site) I'm not being soft on crime. It is was proven the culprit was responsible, and the next day he was found face down in the ...
It burned down ! Replace it ! No, sorry, but if the community is so effing dysfunctional that it burns down these facilities. Tough luck. Rebuilding defiantly just encourages more pyros. Yes, bring him to justice, run the family out of town, make them pay, put a lien on their property. Just saying "Its gone, lets 'ave another one" is simply burying your head like ostriches. Justice first, ...
Oakland Park Haldon Terrace Shell Cove vicinity (Old Teignmouth Road area) Marine Parade Westcliff Park Drive and whats the skankiest place... Coronation Avenue The other Avenues That redbrick terrace by the Jet garage By the way, Google Earth now has Dawlish in close-up. I am watching you from outer space.

Look at it this way....the tourists will come and go, Master Cole will spend most of his life in jail or some sort of mental asylum for the criminally enfeebled, ......the only certainty is impermanence. ....and yet the dogs will continue to shit on Dawlish lawn.
...I just want him and his family to pay $$ for the damage. I'm sorry, but adults not kids determine the rules in society. If juvenile delinquents don't want to play nice, then they face the consequences. There's plenty of them who aren't pyromaniacs. They are capable of handling the consequences of their actions. If you want to live in a town where I am Mayor, you have to keep your nose clean. ...
Not only can all our kids become hooked on the drugs being thrown from her carnival float, .....but the pyrotechnics from her Queenly transportation (thanks to her delinquent offspring) will at last give the fire engine -which has brought up the rear of the procession for donkeys years - something useful to do.
I'd come along to the show, except I have two salient excuses... i) I don't live in Europe. ii) It sounds like unmitigated crap.
Good idea. Lets establish a charitable fund whereby readers can make donations to the Cole family (of arsonists and junkies). Perhaps we could raise enough money to send them all on a holiday to Disneyland or for him to go to Harvard University. ...or better still, sufficient funds to buy him a new flame thrower.
I wouldn't be averse to getting some dog shit out of the ubiquitous dog-bins, and chucking it at their house. If anyone sees him at school, or his father at work, they have my Mayoral permission to chuck dog muck at them too, rub it in their hair etc. They'll get the message eventually and leave town if we keep it up on a daily basis for a few years.
