Dawlish News

looking towards the sea from the main access road there is a section of grass banking to the right of the boat house. The bank curves around towards the red rock cafe. If the new banstand was built into the bank with the open performance stage looking out on the remaining grass area this would leave the closed end accessable from the existing sea wall road for support vehicles etc. The site on the ...

@Michael Clayson With all due respect could I just ask why you are obsessed with the town centre and in particular development of the lawn. Having seen over £1.75 million spent recently on the Strand side with no noticable change to any of the businesses or any increase in visitor numbers. Is it not time to look further a field around and about Dawlish for sites needing investment and ...

@Robert Vickery How about resignations from the council members forming the support group now then, would seem the right and honorable thing to do. Also commenting that over 300 objections do not constitute a valid reason for withdrawing the planning application just about sums up the thoughts of those whom sit on the planning committee at Teignbridge. Which is why Dawlish is rapidly ...

The new timber framed houses are a total rip off and not worth a fraction of the asking price. In ten to fifteen years time Cranbrook will be the sort of 60s slum council estate the authorities up north have been demolishing in the recent past. If you cannot get the standard 10 year NHBC warranty on a new property then you should automatically suspect there to be something not right. Go into ...

Not critising the local fire brigade but have noticed recently that they never seem to manage to save much from these sort of fires. For instance this obviousely started as a small fire in a scrap car, and should have been fairly easy to contain. Do we have issues here with staffing levels, training, equipment or something else. Just concerned thats all

If the SW is to speak with one voice then the coast line through Dawlish and Teignmouth is doomed from the off.  With joint populations of under 30,000, what chance do we have against the whole of Cornwall, Plymouth and most of Exeter. Whilst having an open mind on the future of the line, it would certainly do no harm to have a plan in place for redeveloping what would remian after its closure. ...

Thought none of these government agencies had any money or so we keep hearing. Hope they dont disrupt the wildlife on the Nature Reserve or the ones who think they rule the planet will be on their case.  RSP**** we hate dogs, holiday makers, and everyone that hasent got a pair of binoculas and dares to walk on our sand dunes. It has to be good news though seriously.  What coloured army will ...

can you now remove this one so there are no remaining references to such an horrific accident - Thanks

Just announced by DCC mass closure of elderly care homes, hundreds of staff likely to loose their jobs, residents to be transfered into the private sector. Why because they havent got the funding to maintain the care provision How about transfering the 15 million they intend to spend on a cycle path that only the minority will use in the summer and nobody will use in the winter add this ...

And I thought there was no money in the councils coffers, just shows what a bunch of two faced liars they all are. Cant mend the roads, cant meet the needs of the elderly and infirm, cant keep childrens homes and social services open, cant support Surestart, nurseries and leisure centres. But yet they carry on with their ludicrus backward thinking ideas and excuses. Try subsisdising the ...
