It might be more productive to report it. https://www.teignbridge.gov.uk/environmental-health-and-wellbeing/dogs/dog-fouling/report-witnessing-a-dog-fouling-incident/

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/04/29/angela-merkel-clashed-emmanuel-macron-greek-debt-deal-new-book/ @burneside interesting article here about macron's relationship with merkel

@Lynne .  'unfortunately' i'm pig racing tonight at the manor but look forward to hearing all about it!

Hmm that sounds a bit tenuous.  I know a couple of deaf people, neither of whom have a blue badge.  Getting a badge seems to be quite difficult, my father struggled and he couldn't walk far unaided.  We only wanted the badge so we could park near to wherever we were taking him and set up the wheelchair easily. I don't know whether it's the same now but the badge was for the person, not the car, ie ...

Do I remember Anne Marie Morris saying she wouldn't stand again or am I imagining it?

Important to say he's been cleared. http://www.middevonadvertiser.co.uk/article.cfm?id=109352&headline=Man%20cleared%20of%20train%20grope%20charge&sectionIs=news&searchyear=2017

it's a bit like tetra paks and aluminum foil recycling, sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not @DEEDOODLE

Worrying story in the Gazette this week about staff cuts at DCC.  The school also seems to be under capacity by amost 200 students and didn't have a good result in the recent OFSTED report. What's going on? Is it all due to Government cost cutting or is the school not doing well under current administration or both?

Slightly disappointed.  After reading the subject of this discussion I had hoped for there to be a skipping event at the car park.  Nevermind.

@b.o.liking i'm not sure you'd get an answer on this forum, you'll probably be better off asking individual pubs or checking out their facebook pages.  i would imagine the landsdowne would be your best bet.

@Lisa - you are perfectly entitled to your opinion and i hardly think your posts have been ranting.  don't feel discouraged, i imagine there are lots of people who agree with you but just don't like to post.

Dawlish Museum has posted - Former Cafe Due To Be Demolished. The now derelict building near the viaduct known as 'The Pirates Chest' has been empty for some time now and is set to be demolished by Network rail. No official date has been given but it's thought it will be within the next month or so. Our first picture was taken on a summers day in 2015 and the second after the terrible storm damage ...

hi @grockle - dates for this year are 12-19 august.  keep an eye on the website for further details http://dawlishcarnival.co.uk/ There's also a Facebook page if you have it - https://www.facebook.com/dawlishcelebratescarnival/?fref=ts

completely agree @leatash .  it doesn't sound like the people involved are from dawlish and i hope that goes some way to allaying the fears i've heard from a number of people in dawlish frightened about what is happening to the town.

I did wonder if it was access for the park.  Thanks for confirming Lynne.

DAWLISH Community College requires improvement, education inspectors have said. Ofsted visited the secondary school in December and reported that the overall effectiveness, the effectiveness of leadership and management, the quality of teaching, learning and assessment, personal development, behaviour and welfare and outcomes for pupils all require improvement. When inspectors last visited the ...

Has anyone seen this campaign from Teignbridge?  What a complete waste of money as well as being patronising.  If you like a laugh read the comments on their facebook page when they announce the winners! https://www.teignbridge.gov.uk/article/22457/Operation-Stack-recycling-campaign-launched-by-Teignbridge---071116 Whatever happened to the idea of giving the boxes hairnets too, did that ever get ...

@Brooklyn Bridge - yes thanks i do know where my 'kid' is thank you very much, didn't realise you wanted a reply from all parents signed up here.  and if it turns out not to be kids but nasty vengeful adults will all those who can't wait to blame the youth of the town apologise?  i like to go by evidence not make nasty slurs on people.

@ZIGGY i know, this lasted less than 24 hours.  it's a really nasty one if a motorbike hits it.  it's still reported on the pothole site, dcc really needs to pull it's collective finger out.  i do hope the contractor doesn't charge twice for this shoddy work.

I thought the coach park was planned for the other side?

Express and echo are useless.  They have an article today about how the museum has erected these behind their building.  I do wonder sometimes!

Way too hot for me.  Prefer milder chillies.

I see the Carnival Committee kept it pleasant with this little piece on Facebook. Dawlish Carnival & Entertainment Community Interest Company Our piece for the Gazette. DAWLISH CARNIVAL & ENTERTAINMENT C.I.C. After a very disillusioned and disappointing start to the year, we ended up having a great time. We were able to spend good quality time with friends and family, without having to organise a ...

I do wonder what it will take for people to learn.  I was behind a woman from Teignmouth to Kingsteignton roundabout blatantly texting the whole way!

DAWLISH charity boss Caz Steffens has announced her shop in the town is to close. The Snooky Trust charity shop in Queen Street has been run for nine years but Caz has revealed that although the premises will close, the Snooky Trust as a charity will continue. Read on ...

i agree @Lynne .  let's face it singular cyclists are unlikely to use this cycle path, it's more likely going to be families.  you do wonder the thought process behind some of these decisions.

Don't fancy walking up Shutterton Lane, too many idiot drivers around.  Wonder when the access from Redrow will be available.  I'll like to check it out, might be a good circular walk with the dog starting up the other side of Sainsburys.

Let's be fair.  The title of this thread indicates what is being discussed.  If you're not interested in the thread, don't read or reply to it.  Simple.  Walk away and do something more interesting, you're not obliged to get involved.

you need to complain @ZIGGY , contact the practice manager. My husband had the same thing when he rang late one afternoon.  As someone who rarely goes to the doctor, when he asked if he could make an appointment the person taking the call (I'm not sure they are the receptionists)  snapped at him saying that it was too late, despite the fact that he didn't want to make it that day and she didn't ...

This site has turned into a nasty toxic little place with no monitoring from the @webmaster.  I do wonder if what some people on this board actually talk to people in real life in the same way or hide behind their profiles in order that they might spout bile. Anyway, I guess it's bye bye Europe and bye bye Dawlish.com from me. <account deleted>

thanks for confirming @Lynne .

Interesting blog.  Orignally seen on Facebook and contains swearing for any sensitive bunnies. EU referendum - in or out

@Lynne that's not radical, it's stupid in my opinion.  as i've said before it would make much better sense to have the cycle track go through lanherne, following the path through it, then slope the current steps into beach street.  this would completely miss all the awful road and sloping the steps would help wheelchair bound residents in lanherne to access town more safely rather than dice with ...

Red arrows coming to the town for carnival week http://www.dawlishnewspapers.co.uk/article.cfm?id=102650&headline=Red%20Arrows%20coming%20to%20town%20for%20carnival%20week&sectionIs=news&searchyear=2016

@Jelly if you're looking at primary schools visit both but gatehouse has had problems recently, westcliff seems to be the preferred option. Travel isn't too bad, I can get into London for 09.00 which is sometimes quicker than it takes me to get to the other side of Dawlish ;) Pavements are bad in some places in Dawlish with cars parking on them where parking is limited.  For some reason some of ...

might be wise to pre book @Jelly - popular places can fill up quickly.

On Friday 13th May, Teignbridge submitted a bid to build more homes for first time buyers. Teignbridge has applied to the Government's £1.2 billion Unlocking the Land Fund, which is designed to help bring forward 30,000 custom build or starter homes outside of London by 2020. If the bid is successful, the scheme could help young first time buyers buy a new home at a minimum 20% discount compared ...

TSW Dawlish Juniors Octopush teams have just returned from a tough international, invitation tournament in Dordrecht, Holland. They took on the best teams in Holland, Belgium and last years Great Britain Under 16 champions, and beat all opposition, lifting the gold medal at Under 16 level.  The juniors from Dawlish also took along an underage squad to compete in the Under 16 age group; they lifted ...
