Riding on the sea wall says it all. I wouldnt be suprised if its parents and grand parents are just as well brought up. You have had at least 4 generations of humans brought through the education system now. With a strong bias on the students can do what ever they like and very little, if any consequences, but if a teacher crosses the line they will most probably lose their job and career. I ...

Posts on EoD saying this scheme has now been stopped after only one week. The cancellation has been confirmed by a councillor.

Sounds like normal day to day running of Ryanair!

Just wait for all the skate boarders, scooters and push bikes. The sea wall path is lovely and smoooooooooth.

Last week Network Rail apologised for not having it ready in time - now the the work is done. The new and improved sea wall and promenade at Dawlish is now open to the public - the first part of a huge scheme to protect the area from rising sea levels and extreme weather.

Some of them might surprise you DAWLISH WARREN In the summer Dawlish Warren is "full of the cast of Shameless" and in the winter it's so dead in the pubs that "you expect Clint Eastwood to pull you a pint over the tumbleweed" according to one review.

Its the first year i have not heard it at all, miss the deep hardcore techno base. i will have to fire up my own sound system this year..

@Leatash, got my keyboard back so can do a full reply! I pointed out to NR in the first consultation  that in 2014 the line was breached and they needed to work 24/7 to get it up and  running, which we all understood. But, that is not the case in building the Dawlish Berlin Wall! The line is open and so there is no need for night working. I asked why they needed to work through the night and the ...

She will steam down the Exe Valley to Exeter, before heading along the estuary past Powderham Castle and along the famous sea wall line through tunnels and cuttings of red rock, beside beaches and coves. The Royal Scot will be passing the famous sea wall at Dawlish which was due to reopen this weekend. Read more... ...

Has anybody seen a copy of the official Traffic Order granted by the dept of transport that DCC have a legal requirement to obtain before instigating these restrictions. I very much doubt they have applied for and been granted such, in which case the restrictions are unenforceable and the signage is just another waste of tax payers money. No doubt the idiot Stuart Huges is behind this.

The main reason for the five month delay in forcing the face coverings is that in March there was no available stock of masks in the country. Since then the government have bulk ordered £millions of pounds worth of masks from China knowing full well they are cheap and nasty replica's of British Standard products and that they will not offer any form of protection. However having now distributed ...

What else should we expect? Would it be British exceptionalism at work again?

The Westcountry could have a good and resilient rail network for £1.2 billion – just 1% of the cost of HS2, the high-speed line from London to Birmingham, two transport experts say. The mainline to Plymouth and Cornwall has long been the Achilles' heel of rail transport, due to the vulnerability of the line through Dawlish to weather and waves. Read more... ...

He was caught on CCTV raining down punches on the older man who had told him off for larking about. Shane Hunt came to blows after his father Mark Williams told him off for fooling around in the Oz's Pizza and Kebab shop in the centre of Dawlish four nights after Christmas.

@brooklyn bridge Contact  your local MP and  Hernandaz the loco crime commisioner  after all she pleaded for  more rates money to recruit more police officers and ends up and buying tazers. No doubt the begging bowl will come out next march saying she needs more money due to covid.

Any spending on work which could potentially be affected by storm action or erosion in the short to medium term has been paused Sand was pumped on to the beach two years ago as part of a £12 million flood defence scheme, which raised parts of the beach by up to three metres. But last winter’s storms was much of that sand had been stripped away, damaging structures on the shore above, and left ...

Well said the Cornish. It's the only language these virus spreading selfish inconsiderate pig ignorant idiots understand. Unfortunately we are in the 'Profit before peoples lives' era.

Duckileaks, the ones I'm talking about probably do have back doors but to get to them you have to go from the front. I know for sure that two have definitely been closed throughout lockdown.

Planning application approved by TDC planner

Good work PD Arnie and handler. Nothing suprises me about Dawlish these days. A small percentage of the Dawlish community, many most probably known to the local police, make it miserable for the rest of us. About the same every where in this once proud and World leading country of hours. Now relegated to a door mat for the rest of the World's dross who wish to pick up a few quid and do as ...

There is a serious lack of white chocolate compared to brown and dark chocolate in supermarkets. I can only conclude everyone is racist against white people.

have put pics of the lethal rebar sticking out of the dawlish beach. you only see it when the beach has been severely eroded, but then they are covered with sea water and look like idylic sea pools. Someone or someones dog is going to end up impaled and/or get a severe foot injury from all the sharp bits of metal lodged in the buried concrete on the beach. Doubt anything will be done ...

Article here by Baroness Altmann, a Tory peer and one time Pensions Minister, on why the 2.5% bit of the triple lock should be 'revisited'. At one point she quotes the full state pension amount for those in receipt of the state pension since 6.4.2016. Just to point out that you only get that amount if 1) you have 36 years worth of the right type of NI contributions because 2) if, for example, ...

And next time China causes another SARS outbreak....I see very little being done by the so called leaders of the free world to stop China from actively causing the next pandemic. If you look at the stats for deaths in 2002-2004 and then look at the current death stats for 2019-2020 it doesnt take a f******g rocket scientist to see the next out break will be potentially much worse.
