We still don't quite exactly know what we can do in carnival week but we are still planning fun.... In the meantime the theme of this year's carnival is SUPERHEROES! We are not having a parade this year BUT we are having a DOORSTEP PARADE for one year only! We are asking everyone to decorate their home or garden or business premises in the theme of superheroes and then enter our doorstep carnival ...

Typical, I guess. Speeding is everyone's business. Speed kills and excess speed kills.

Here is the full list of applications that have been submitted and validated by the various local councils or planning authorities in Devon in the last week https://www.devonlive.com/news/devon-news/100-homes-exeter-new-dawlish-5572527

The video, which attempts to trick people into thinking a 14-year-old girl has been forced into the back of a car by two men in Dawlish, was first seen circulating on local Facebook groups in the South Devon area yesterday evening (June 24). Read more... ...

Nanook, an 11-year-old Terrier cross, originally arrived at the West Down-based centre just before Covid hit in February 2020. He was adopted but sadly that home was not meant to be and was returned to their care once again in November 2020. He has now trotted off to start a new life with Sharon Maxwell from Dawlish.

Where are you? (Just give a general idea of location)

@DeeDoodle Don't forget Teignmouth for the goodies!

Another year Dawlish suffers from the continued sea wall work.

The Snooky Trust helps people aged 18-40 who live in Dawlish and the wider area. Last week they took the tough decision to cancel their major fundraising event, the Snooky Fest, for the second year in a row, blaming difficulties in staging the event with ongoing uncertainty over regulations.

@ZIGGY .....just a shame they didnt come out clearer.

So how many tens of thousands of tonnes are they using then?

So he gets away with two counts of attempted arson to endanger life with merely a restraing order. The courts are a joke, but god forbid you dont pay all of your rates or tv license.

The cases have gone up because of the large increase in pcr  tests which have been proven to be highly inaccurate at the 45 cycles the nhs use. It is nothing to do with more people moving around the counrty. It is just a casedemic being used by the government to keep us in a state of restictions and renew their emergency powers for what is to come from them in 3 and 4th quarter this year, in my ...

HMS PoW is new (was off Carbis Bay for some reason apparently!). The Chinooks have been around for a while though.

Another scam is the amount of money we pay for policing!

Sounds like a complete knob and he has to bring up his childhood as a mitigating reason. LOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSEEEEERRRRRRR.

Seen plenty of people camping and having bbq's at Dawlish Warren. Its the same as everything around Dawlish ....loads of rules and signs but absolutely no enforcement.

I don't think you can either....but if TDC can hide behind GDPR they will unfortunately.

Usual point scoring by labotomy Dems, knowing full well they won't get it but gets publicity. How about more government money to protect us from labotomy Dems policies.

So the Queen attends the G7 on a train and Doris takes his own private jet to the G7. I think the queen is more in line with reducing global warming than Doris is.

See below an extract from an article in the i newspaper a few days back. “.......(housing) supply in the UK is in the hands of private developers who have very little incentive to build out at a rate commensurate with (housing) demand because this would lower market prices. Developers hoard land and wait for it to increase in value before building on it. When they do build, it’s not in their ...

Doris does not want to give up his emergency powers. Without emergency powers he can no longer railroad through anything he wants, the vaccines still in trial until 2023 cannot be dished out to all the sheep and he cannot enforce lockdowns, etc. All that is being currently orchestrated by Doris and his goons is to keep up the farcade of this scamdemic until we enter the next seasonal flu. Once ...

Shaun Powney, 51, pleaded guilty at Exeter Crown Court to the manslaughter of Patrick Powney in Plymouth in February on the grounds of diminished responsibility.

like it.................... "new lead " for dog thefts

Suspended sentence! 21 months what a joke. The uk legal system is as bad as the Uk Government when it comes to actually doing a proper job.

We need police officers to actually walk the beat not just shoot passed in a police car with the windows up a couple of times a week. These ferals use places like Boat Cove and other tucked out of the way places to get up to no good. There used to be a pcso that actually went around Dawlish talking to the kids and adults. Haven't seen him in a long while most probably made the rest look bad. Local ...

On the subject of Teignmouth, and with reference to another thread concerning the number of new homes needing to be built, (see https://dawlish.com/thread/details/47463 ), whilst it is planned for Dawlish to have another 1000 or so new homes,  in T'mouth the number is but 100.

But as dear Alison got in again, she will sort it out. (Pigs have been fed and ready for take off) I wonder how many people complain about the police but voted that waste of space in again?

I agree with the posts. If you haven't opened your council tax bill make sure you are sitting down.

Southwest rail resilience programme, it may be good for stopping the railway line falling into the sea, but in my opinion, it is destroying Dawlish as a seaside town.

Darryl Riches was given just a 20 per cent chance of survival and was left with life-changing injuries - now he wants to give back to those who helped save his life In May 2002, Darryl Riches from Dawlish was on his way to work when he was involved in a head-on collision with a lorry. The result was catastrophic, and all of the bones in Darryl's skull were broken upon impact. Read more... ...

Disgusting person. Should have got a longer sentence.

Fantastic to see a new independent greengrocer opening in Dawlish today. It's the return of a great local resource after losing Stokes a few years ago. USE IT OR LOSE IT folks!
