for the family of eight can i say if there is anything else you need a benefits handbook on creaming or a job in broadcasting editing a newspaper or even as a political adviser. But please please do not deport. Where would we be without humility?

This has got to be the best yet. A bust of one of the founders of the british museum has had his bust removed from any prominence to a more discrete place for his alleged dealings in slavery. Now this has been alledgedly done by the museum's director who one could think knows more about slavery etc than most. I will not accept lessons of virtue, from this director. More double standards please.

The Dawlish Warren event wasent illegal so people need to get their facts right. It was held on private not public land and was attended by invitation only. Its an annual event that locals are well aware of. Those holiday makers who complain about it know where the M5 is so use it and go home

Brilliant event managed to believe we were back in the real world for an hour. Of course the odd few sheeples tried to spoil it by wondering around with their stupid looking face masks on. Far better than the Dawlish Warren rip off on Thursday afternoons. Come on Powderham lets make it a regular thing

Lovely grounds - visited there some years back. So, let's now await the planning applications. On the other hand it could be left for years as a deteriorating eyesore a bit like The Old Rectory along Weech Road and the site of Daw Vale care home along Westcliff.

Heavy rainfall in the last 48 hours has caused some of the problems Surfers Against Sewage says Dawlish Coryton Cove Historically known as Gentlemans Cove due to the privacy it offered, Coryton Cove is a secluded, sandy beach backed by red cliffs and the train track. A sewer overflow discharges over the rocks at the southern end of the beach. Water quality can also be impacted by diffuse ...

What a complete and utter selfish idiot!

@Lynne , thanks for the input.

A sad way to go..R.I.P

It always seems that the criminals always get treated better than the victims in the UK law system. Don't blur the pic out of that piece of scum and name and shame them. I don't expect its the first dog this filth has nicked, in my opinion.

Thank god for that. The whole area is an eyesore and you lot are always moaning about keeping the rail open and now that work is being given the go ahead, what do you lot do? MOAN ABOUT IT! Get your heads out of your backsides and look forward to a MUCH better future for this town, with a station and area that we can be proud of, NOT ashamed of.

Well said Fred and Deedoodle, you really do both speak the truth about all this. It really is now all about control and it is damm scary!

Due to Covid-19, four minor injury units have been closed in Devon for five months Due to difficulties sustaining staffing levels at Dawlish and Totnes Community Hospitals MIU units, a decision was made to 'temporarily' close them as of March 19.

@Daverc - thanks......

So the upshot of this will more than likely be the outcome the owners have wanted through their actions that have left the property in the current state, in my opinion. I cannot see any chance of the authorities doing anything else as they have done absolutely noithing to date to enforce the owners to act under the current poiwers of listed building status. Other than deny planning permission. Tax ...

A few weeks ago when there were road works outside BetFred and traffic was backed up right along The Strand, I saw a taxi drive along the footpath in the Lawn and rejoin The Strand at the ramp by the Co-op.  Taxi drivers do what they like in Dawlish.

The 2 x planning applications from Network Rail concerning the railway station and wall are due to be heard at the next TDC planning committee meeting starting 10.00am on Tuesday 18th August. As it happens Dawlish has three councillors who sit on that committee. So if anyone has any strong feelings one way or t'other about what is being proposed by Network Rail/what the town council would like to ...

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 do ...

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

Just remembered another brown field planning application presently going through the system - the development of the site of Shell Cove House into 6 dwellings and garages. https://dawlish.com/thread/details/47101

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... https://www.devonlive.com/news/devon-news/golden-age-steam-returns-devon-4360044

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.
