There's nothing commendable from any party or the electorate when the turnout is a mere 36%. It was worse elsewhere in Teignbridge. Voting should be made mandatory and the option 'None of the Above' added, which should be counted in the official statistics. Apathy is so widespread that nobody seems to care that the First Past the Post system used in England allows the likes of Dawson to win ...
Great effort from reform only 500odd short of votes from a low turnout with the lib dem % down. Rosies comments after hearing ahe has won was :" i was blown away" yes becauae ahe probably wad not too sure if she has won.

THE seaside towns of Dawlish and Teignmouth will continue to be represented by the Liberal Democrats at County Hall as the present incumbents for both are re-elected.

@burnside I think you'll find she has 4 jobs actually.
So now it's three-jobs-Dawson, God help Dawlish.
I told you so... As predicted Reform split the Conservative vote, turnout was 2% lower than 2021 showing that Dawlish is largely apathetic. It was always in the bag. Dawlish is a safe Liberal Democrat seat despite the rise of Reform. Thanks to all the Reform voters and all the non-voters, oh and the 1923 who voted for Rosie. I predicted we'd get around 1900, the same as in ...
You definitely need to check the sell-by dates in Sainsburys, they don't seem to clear the shelves of out of date items.
Called in to Sainsburys the other day with 4 things on my list, left with 3 of them. No Cottage cheese No 20% minced pork No bicarb. We Need competition badly..
That's interesting news! I hadn’t heard anything official yet, but if Lidl really is coming to Newton Abbot and Dawlish, that would be great for more shopping options and competitive prices. Let’s see if it gets confirmed soon.
Voters in Teignbridge have had their say in the 2025 local elections.
