It's not FREE in any case. The agencies aren't working at this event out of the kindness of their hearts, they're all funded by the taxpayer. And collectively these agencies and Councils aren't improving the situation. The funding just keeps them all in work and contributes to their pensions. So kind that all these agencies can club together for a slow cooker, air-fryer and electric blanket. ...

@Cassandra Could you expand on that? This is the discussion section after all. I don't know if you read the original post or looked at the link, but Expat's comment is accurate. Dawlish was an elegant seaside resort in Georgian and Victorian times - mainly due to three men who by the way weren't from the town.

I do get out more and see many towns with busy town centres, better and more varied shops and better parking. Dartmouth for example with 2 hours free parking by the river with a two minute walk to the shops. Its not about posting negative comments its about constructive criticism. By the way I was born and raised here nearly 70 years ago so havent "came here from other places"
It is unbelieveable that something like this is happening in the 21st century.
It would be interesting to know what proportion of people who find Dawlish unsatisfactory came here from other places
Expat's description is accurate. Maybe Expat like a lot of us believe Dawlish could be much better. That's not running down a place or it's people, a lot of seaside resort towns have seen better days.
Oh dear. Why do people feel the need to publish negative comments all the time? Don't they have something better to do than to run people and places down? Dawlish is a haven compared to some other places in the country and if they don't realise this then they really need to get out a bit more.
Not so elegant now with its amusement arcade, bookies and a burger joint next to the plastic zoo.
