Teenage boys were beaten up and hospitalised after a night of violence in Teignmouth at the weekend involving a gang allegedly carrying knives. Police have confirmed that they are investigating two separate incidents in Woodway Road at around 11.15pm on Saturday night in which one boy was knocked unconscious and another was headbutted. All of the guests were asked to leave and one mother described ...

Last holiday I went on was Benidorm, definitely not as nice as the UK. Where one holidays ain't got much to do with getting our country back. The World is now our oyster.

Pics on daily mail last night showed the evacuated in face masks and one person in each transit coach, 6 in all, going to their assigned quarantine zone. Several of the coach drivers had NO protection at all!

William Kelly was put on the sex offenders’ register in 2018 when he admitted spying on women from a loft space at a holiday park in Dawlish. It meant he was required to tell police about his movements. He was put on the register for five years by Newton Abbot Magistrates after he was caught naked in a loft space above the female showers at a holiday camp at Dawlish while filming naked women with ...

Exeter MP Ben Bradshaw has expressed his concern to the Government after a report that a new express train was disabled by sea water at Dawlish. In a letter to the transport secretary, Grant Shapps, he wrote: “[O]ne of GWR’s new Hitachi high speed trains was, as I understand it, completely disabled when its engines were splashed by sea water. This led to more serious disruption to the South West’s ...

@ZIGGY ....indeed.

The Old Vicarage, which casts a shadow over homes in Weech Road and Vicarage Gardens, has been gradually falling into a greater state of disrepair. The only benefactor from the sorry situation appears to be a wannabe Banksy, after impressive artworks popped-up on some of the walls. Read more... ...

Suppose stories like this keep some people employed in the EA.

Typo error should have read FLAT.......

A solution has been found that good enough for me it's the same with any large engineering project there are problems that have not been anticipated solutions are found and work carries on.

If i was Network Rail i would let the moaners have there way build a direct line from Exeter to Newton Abbot and close the seaward line i bet you any money they would soon change there minds.

You accuse me of "Nothing Sensible to add" yet YOU hold the BBC responsible for Fire Station  closures! WHERE is the sense in that?

@wondering . It will never happen as we don't live up North, where all the money is going.

So that Harry and Megan can find to  have thier way. they have targeted us all especially in America as being racist.If they want to leave just go .I must say  there was a time I obviously gave him more credit than he and she were worth.

No matter how much of a warning they give, you will still see idiots running along the sea wall (in any seaside town) playing at dodging the waves.

A bit harsh putting Brian Downie in with this bunch. It clearly shows the poor bloke was suffering from a form of dementia. Your own article substantiates this. Usual poor news reporting by a sub standard news paper. Deepest sympathies to the victim and her family for the tragic loss.

Well I admit the Guardian is a dodgy newspaper, but everyone knows that. However it's obvious to all that climate change is a scam. The real sad part about all of this is that so many people believe the climate change propaganda, even though there is zero evidence for any of it.

Just got a leaflet through my door for the above. Although this normally means that they are obliged to have a consultation with the public, but have already decided what they are actually going to do. I would have thought concrete tunnel sections to enclose the line and protect it from sea and rock fall would be more practical, but then they would have to close the line down. As to taking away ...

But Paul aslo says that Global Warming doesn't exist!

If you drive along the A380 on the approach to Haldon Hill, particularly around dawn or dusk, you will often see plenty of deer grazing. But thirteen deer have been killed and at least eight people injured, two seriously, as a result of collisions between the animals and vehicles on or around Haldon Hill. Read more... ...

Yes, it's certainly to do with the works on the seawall but I don't know exactly what.

@1263 I didn't bring up Bradshaw's hairstyle in the first instance. @Burnside brought it up and I wondered if his remark was homophobic. Bradshaw is a good looking man for his age. What do you think I'm wanting to tell those who read Dawlish.com? Plus what is with the underlined YOU in caps locks? @Burnside If Bradshaw is 'on the effeminate side' - So what?

No discipline anymore, at home or in the schools.

I don't believe it was trust. In my opinion she only got another term on the gravy train because she was the lesser of two candidates. The only time you see her is when there is a national media event. Unlike many of her constituents she will be getting paid far above those who pay her salary, expenses, etc, etc and have to scrimp and save to pay their bills just to live. As for the £16 plus ...
