Increased x ray service provision is one of the key benefits of these plans. We also get increased MIU hours for the two towns with the service being integrated with the out of hours doctors service. The two towns also get improved rehabilitation care based at Teignmouth where there are better facilities for that service than at Dawlish. Dawlish town council was impressed by Dr Fox's ...

The Council announced they were going to buy these swans.  Rose saw this and came forward wanting to donate the cost, With regard to roaming dogs.  I find that people react well to a polite explanation of why the ban is in place, and the advice that they can exercise their dog freely just up the road in Manor Park.  In all these years, I've only had two rude reactions.  We can't expect the ...

Anyone wanting to hear an early presentation of the proposals can join us at the town council on Wednesday at 6:30, venue the Manor.  We have a guest speaker from the CCG to explain their ideas
