Some of them might surprise you DAWLISH WARREN In the summer Dawlish Warren is "full of the cast of Shameless" and in the winter it's so dead in the pubs that "you expect Clint Eastwood to pull you a pint over the tumbleweed" according to one review.

On private land so not illegal as for holiday makers complaining, you come down here increasing the risk of spreading covid19 to an area that has so far had one of the lowest number of outbreaks and now you complain about locals having a one off party. How about you just go home you misserable bunch.
Complaints about the noise, lack of Covid-19 distancing and the effects on wildlife have been made Locals and holidaymakers were angry as the noise from the event at the Eastdon Plantation countryside park carried on throughout the night despite police attending and speaking to organisers.

@Leatash, got my keyboard back so can do a full reply! I pointed out to NR in the first consultation that in 2014 the line was breached and they needed to work 24/7 to get it up and running, which we all understood. But, that is not the case in building the Dawlish Berlin Wall! The line is open and so there is no need for night working. I asked why they needed to work through the night and ...
So why have we have we had to put up with 24 hour working? My point is if the line could be reinstated in only two months why has it taken over a year to do this work?

The works are to future proof the line against rising sea ...
Thanks Lynne, your post sums it up perfectly! They got the line up and running in two months in 2014 but have taken 12 months to date and have not finished! For months I have witnessed day after day the inactivity of large numbers of workers who are being paid to work!! I have told Network Rail that I am going to formally request, through our useless MP, a Parliamentary inquiry into the costs of ...
And believe me Leatash, that sums up the work on the wall perfectly!
