It’s concerning to hear about the closure fears for the Minor Injuries Unit at Dawlish. While staffing issues are understandable, this service is crucial for the community. The Trust needs to provide a clear plan for resolving these problems and ensure the unit stays open long-term. We deserve more clarity and stability regarding our local healthcare services.

Absolutely wonderful initiative! The dedication of Dawlish volunteers really brings the community together and honors Remembrance Day in a meaningful way. It’s heartwarming to see creativity and respect combined like this. %uD83C%uDF3A Any positive comments or memories about past Poppy Walls would be appreciated—let’s celebrate the volunteers’ efforts!

Thanks for the update. Always concerning to see incidents like these happening in the local area. Hopefully the actions taken by the court help prevent similar situations in the future and bring some peace of mind to the community.
