I don't know to how many generations back it applies but certainly to some extent if you can trace that you are descended from an Irish citizen you may be able to claim a Republic of Ireland passport and then have dual British/Irish nationality. And it certainly seems that if you were born in a certain part of the UK, namely Northern Ireland, that not only can you presently claim dual ...

Two large white vans parked on Iddesleigh Terrace pavement (just down a bit from where the estate agent is located) this morning when I walked into town.

Well I've often thought that you must have some kind of alert system when it comes to my postings because as I say it is usually nanno second stuff in terms of your responding. I was beginning to think you might have been stuck in a very long queue at a passport control somewhere..........

But the cabinet isn't saying we won't leave the EU. What the agreed line appears to be (and it seems that arch Brexiteers Johnson, Fox and Davies agree with this) is that it is in the country's interests for there to be a softer economic landing by way of leaving the EU completely over a period of time rather than leaving the EU completely on March 29th 2019. If you disagree with that ...

Dawlish Town Council's planning committee will be meeting this evening. Amongst the other planning applications on the agenda is this one. https://www.teignbridge.gov.uk/planning/forms/planning-application-details/?Type=Application&Refval=17/01654/MAJ&MN=Y

I can't find anything about this on St. Gregs website. Fete on the Lawn usually takes place in July. I was out of town last week and the week before. Did it happen then?

I think it will have put paid to any ministerial (no matter how junior) ambitions she may have had.

Unless it's been altered (and I don't think it has) the Local Plan for Dawlish shows that  there is  to be a green 'corridor' betweeen the Gatehouse developments and the development at the Langdon Hospital site.

Women born 6th July 1953- 5th August 1953 will become eligible for their state pension next month on 6th July. This means that wef July the state pension age for women will be 64 years. But this age will rise again wef 6th November 2017.

Could amending ambiguous wording on Open Daw's website be defined as back pedalling?

For once (!!!!!!!), I am in agreement with Burneside.

There is a bit about this in the latest Dawlish Gazette but I thought to put it on here as well. click on this link for an application form http://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/DTG5V/ There are five categories: best residential floral display, best holiday accommodation display, best business display, best pub floral display and best school floral display. Closing date for entries is Friday ...

And apparently the bootfair held in Sainsbury's car park on some Sundays during the summer will also no longer be running.

I have absolutely no idea Burneside who reads/posts on this site and where they may quite literally, physically, be based. And neither do you.

As I haven't heard otherwise I'm assuming this hustings in Dawlish is still going ahead this evening. 7.00pm Dawlish Community College

With all the chat going on about local councillors on some of the other threads it made me think about this one. Anyone know of any developments?

According to the local newspaper Linda and John Petherick have reported the reason leading to their resignations to the appropriate officer at Teignbridge District Council..

We have an increasingly ageing population. And I am one of those adding to it. So I may have (after all, who knows what the future holds?) a vested interest as to how the present crisis in adult social care might be resolved. Anyone any thoughts? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/10/13/eight-in-10-nhs-hospitals-not-safe-enough-amid-warnings-that-car/ ...

There was an article in one of the national newspapers last week about the new state pension and national insurance contributions (Nics). For those of an age where all this starts to matter, the info contained in the link below, to the newspaper article, might be of useful interest. ...

Yesterday's fixfest was well attended with over 40 fixes provided by highly skilled volunteer fixers. The organisers hope to do something similar again in the autumn.

Someone contacted me earlier today expressing concern that Sandy Lane Playing fields would now be under threat of development given that Dawlish is to have a new country park. For info this is what I replied and what I understand the situation to be. The country park has to be an additional green space to that which already exists so it is no threat to Sandy Lane playing fields. Sandy ...

Well I guess there might be given the English climate. (What lovely weather we have today.......)

This is what it says at section 3.9 of the Devon Home Choice policy document 3.9 No local connection to Devon 3.9.1 Applicants who have no local connection to Devon will have their application placed in either: - The Low housing need band (D) if they are assessed as having a housing need (whether this be high, medium or low need), or - The No housing need band (E) if they are assessed ...

Yes I've read about liable land having to be registered by the Church (by 2013 I think it was) but..........some mess up in the law means that even if the Cof E didn't meet that 2013 deadline then land not registered by that time can still be liable. This explains why I have heard that those buying houses are now strongly advised by their solicitor to take out chancel repair liability insurance. ...

And today Rick Parfitt of Status Quo has died as well.

Click on this link for info on the Devon Home Choice scheme http://www.devonhomechoice.com/Devon_Home_Choice/CFEFaq.jsp?selectedMenu=Faq I'm genuinely interested to know how the Home Choice scheme is allegedly responsible for Dawlish having residents who have substance addiction problems. Can someone tell me please.

In the same (overheard by me) conversation  one of the women concerned stated that at 63 her husband could now claim pension credit. Well yes, so he might but that doesn't mean that it is at age 63 that all can do so because again who becomes eligible for what and when depends on date of birth and how that ties in with when women of the same date of birth reach their state pension age. Hope the ...

This is all tied in with the state pension age and, more to the point, the state pension age for women. I know I've another thread going on about the rising state pension age for women (see https://www.dawlish.com/thread/details/45135 ) but I thought to start a separate thread about the bus pass issue because of what I overheard in a Dawlish shop the other day. One woman to another woman "Oh ...

I have no idea why they said that but the outcome is that whilst the result of the referendum is not legally binding, politically it is.

If you look at my post I said that new trade deals may carry with them a clause allowing movement of people into this country not that any new trade deals would have to do so.

Okay, so....... in June of this year a representative of SWW addressed the town council about the Secmaton Lane sewerage issue. I was in the public gallery listening to it all. I have just looked at the minutes of that meeting and there is no record of what he said only that he was there and that he addressed the town councillors before the meeting of the full council officially started. I seem ...

Well I certainly wouldn't walk  along Shutterton Lane.

For what it is worth I think the Dawlish Gazette is very Dawlish focussed as its name implies (Dawlish Post though is another matter). I buy the Gazette every week. rarely buy the Express & Echo or Herald Express. I guess that as it is so Dawlish focussed, and has to be produced every week, then it follows that some weeks it may be more interesting than others. @monty - have you thought to ...
