There has always been problems in that area things stolen from huts, damage, fires it happens every year if you live in town kids are always causing trouble at 1 and 2 in the morning.  They are normaly recent school leavers always drunk always noisy throwing things around kicking doors generaly just making a nuisance of themselves

The A379 was closed for at least a hour on carnival night the M5 was closed for 3 hours yesterday due to a horse on the road just put up with it and be happy Christmas is not far away.

My thanks to the Dawlish crew for all there help they arrived in minutes and pumped away the water everyone is now dried out and back to normal.

Its a few hours i dont here moans about road closures on Carnival Day or for the pram race there are faster ways to get to Exeter just use them. The ways to bypass Starcross; Mamhead straight turn right at the cross roads and  through to Kenton or use Telegraph Hill A38 or M5 to Exteter.

There is talk that the Police office is due to close but that apart with further cuts to Police numbers in the pipe line it may be we have a responce only Police Force in the future.

Is there not a rail strike on Saturday.

The 2 i know have recently moved to Dawlish i don't think it's a great idea to name and shame they honestly believe they will sort the problem but there will always be folk who speed, use there mobiles, park badly, etc,etc.  they will probably be fair weather volunteer's so we wont see a great deal of them.

You could also argue that if every motorist parked legaly. never broke the speed limit, payed there insurance, had legal number plates, always indicated when changing direction, didnt use there mobile, i could go on there would be no need for enforcement and i don't ride a bike.
