Lynne is right about the weather being a factor in people not coming to the town, in fact I have heard people are going home mid-week from the camps because it's been so awful. The thing is, there's not very much to do in Dawlish when the weather's as bad as it's been recently, especially for families. I expect that Trago has been packing them in.
Very sad. Motorcylist has died following the crash thismorning http://www.itv.com/news/westcountry/2017-08-23/motorcyclist-dies-following-road-crash-in-devon/

@TheObserver , I'm preventing bickering, not joining in on it. Flaming other members with the apparent intent of inciting or perpetuating a conflict or argument is against the terms. It always has been.
oh my not only has this thread gone way from the topic that it was created for, we find that the @webmaster is joining in on the bickering path, let's not encourage it and get involved in it mr webmaster. may i suggest, if you are a dawlish person and care for the town that are within, why not create your own user account, rather than posting the likes of such under the webmaster title. to ...
@ER113 - yes they were elected, but that does not automatically assign them to having any qualification to be able to fulfil thier role. most expereinced councillors, sitting long term, look to the town clerk for answers, leglisation, regulations and guidance. most councillors on the dawlish town council, only hold expereince and interest, not an actual regulated qualification. now if you want to ...
