I'll give the police 5 stars for trying to find these scumbags as I watched the police chopper whizzing backwards and forwards over the new shanty town next to the woods for a considerable amount of time. The description of these low lifes certainly points to going prepared considering dark clothes and faces covered, oh! and the knife...nearly forgot that one. The issue is not with the ...

In the last few years I have seen a few housing estates go up around Dawlish/Warren and, in my opinion, these housing estates are far from alleviating the housing shortage for those people in local communities who need social housing. If you look at the developer/estate agent sites peddling these overpriced and poorly built homes, again in my opinion, they match and in some cases exceed the price ...

How many swans and other wildfowl have been injured / killed by dogs over the last 20 years on The Lawn/Brook? It seems every few years the black swan population gets destroyed by dogs, foxes and dare I say it - possibly the odd retarded human.

@leatash - if the reason is because they pee and poo on the beach, i think you will find the dawlish population contribute so much more pee and poo. the only difference is we chop it up a bit and pipe it a hundred yards out just to come back on the tide. I frequent the beaches, Teignmouth and Dawlish, and most of the year round the majority of those using the beaches are dog walkers. Ban ...

People with dogs coming to our coastline is a big revenue earner and to ban dogs from all beaches, in my opinion, would be a very blinkered and ignorant act IF the council did implement such an economically disasterous action. As with most restrictions in the U.K. on freedom whether that be speech, movement or just living your life the way you want without negatively effecting those around ...
