The DTC submission (see above) says: “ Some of the proposed sites are classified as undeveloped coast. It is imperative that these areas are preserved from all further housing development ”. One of these sites with undeveloped coast designation is the land west of Teignmouth Road.

I think Fred is probably right, and even if they do paint the bay what's to stop other disabled badge holders from parking there - unless there's a great big sign saying for Tony only! (which would still get ignored)

And not only are some of the proposed sites classified as undeveloped coast but in the case of the Teignmouth Road site the area is also part of an AGLV (Area of Great Landscape Value). PLUS, plus........by (presently) being open farmland it forms a gap between the settlement at Holcombe and the beginnings of the settlement (Southdowns Road area) at Dawlish. In the present Local Plan it is the ...

Fred Holman topped the podium for Great Britain during the first Games hosted in the country - but his life took a sad demise after his success Fred Holman was born in Dawlish in 1883, the son of a baker and one of 10 children. Known affectionately to the swimming community as "our Freddie", he showed an exceptional talent for swimming as a child, winning contests from the age of 11. Read ...

Or it's possible they are going to be centalised, say Land's End or John O'Groats to save a few quid.

The stretch of the A379 through the village is known for pinch-points, especially a narrow section between the pillars and a convenience store, where traffic queues. Councillors were told the works, estimated to cost £70,000 and funded from the local transport plan, would reduce traffic queuing along the narrow sections of the road and encourage sustainable travel.

Infections, you mean primarily positive results from tests that are not fit for purpose, in my opinion. The sheeple getting tested for the sake of it just furthers the Governments agenda to strip away your freedoms, again in my opinion. You will be happy and own nothing. Welcome to 1984.

DWLSC presents a demonstration of life saving tonight at 7.45pm at Dawlish Warren Beach. See you there!

How apt! Just as we are being asked to consider  more house building in the parish so Devon County Council decides to do a survey asking about pre-school child care provision. I'd say Dawlish needs more as we only have the one nursery at the moment and what with all the new houses already having been built, scheduled to be built, and possibly to be built sometime in the future it won't only be ...

This survey closes this Monday (2nd August). Click on 'start' at bottom of first post on this thread to register your views.

As all this proposed housebuilding would end up taking away so much of what is presently open country, it's been suggested to me that the present Dawlish countryside park might become the local place to go to find er..........open countryside. So perhaps the park  could be renamed : " What's left of the Dawlish country side, park". And on its signage there could be little motifs of ribbons. A ...

A groomer has been jailed for groping two schoolgirls after bribing them with Big Macs and cigarettes.

This morning on a walk through Lea Mount, from the highest point I came across three loud mouthed young males  who have made camp with two tents just off the access point from A379. Their two dogs were running amock like they were, shouting at each other. Dawlish has certainly turned into a rather dodgey place these days, in my opinion.

Can somebody supply Carer with an isolation tent then he wont have to risk being part of the human race anymore. What a dribble this non-human is

Anyone got eyes on?

Application approved.

Well, I guess there are buyers 'out there' otherwise the developers wouldn't build the houses, would they? At the moment (and it has been this way for sometime) the only way affordable homes get built is by way of developers having to provide a certain number of affordable homes per number of open market homes they build.  No open market homes = no affordable housing. * And the developers will ...

perhaps the dingy attached to it should have given it away..............
