I commute 6.45am and am in exeter on average within 25/30 mins, leaving Exeter around 4pm to come home with a similar sort of return journey time. You obviously have the odd hold up, break down etc. but doesn't everywhere. Certainly  not enough to make me question travelling to work in Exeter in fact I lived around 3 miles to the east of Exeter afew years ago and that took me a similar length of ...

There is a lot of activity at the viaduct by the police and coastguard right now.

What's the issue?

I have spoken to the workman - no Costa no Star Wars themed restaurant when they have finished the work they are doing for the Landlord the TO LET sign will go back up.

Anne Marie Morris: I am delighted to be the last Back Bencher standing to conclude the debate before the Front Benchers have their say. I thought the referendum result was a great tribute to the British people. It was a vote for opportunity, it was a vote of aspiration, and it was a vote for freedom. Many in this Chamber would absolutely support that. My real frustration is that this ...

It would be better if they actually enforced the PSPO's they currently have, before they expand them. The Dawlish PSPO is a joke. There is blatent abuse off  the PSPO and very rarely does anything get enforced.

There never has been anything for teenagers to do and if there is something it costs too much. Teenagers hang around, its what they do, I did. If they are causing problems then that is a different issue but if they are just sitting around, chatting and laughing what is the problem? Most parents are happy their kids are in their rooms playing on games as they know where there are then.

Mel stride in the MDA paper glad that the government is paying extra for policing and with some amount or irony saying they had given council permission to exceed the cap to allow more police to be added via the rates....this is the government that chopped funding for the police. Another excuse for Teignbridge council to get more money while delivering less services,....

There will be light in Dawlish after the county council agreed to keep managing the street lights in Sea Lawn Terrace. As part of the policy and to reduce costs, the council will no longer retain responsibility for street lights in private roads, and will instead seek to transfer lights to those responsible for the private roads, unless it is in the public interest for Devon to maintain them. ...

Kieron also gave to numerous charities UNICEF, Save the Children and many animal charties and his family has invited donations to any of those named.

A mental patient stabbed a complete stranger to death with a Spider-Man knife in Barnstaple Tesco Extra car park after he ‘fell through the cracks’ in the health system, a court was told on Monday (January 7). Gale, aged 50, of Rackfield Court, Barnstaple, is accused of murder. He is now being treated at Langdon Hospital in Dawlish and has been assessed as unfit to plead. Read more... ...

Hoverboard is a recognised trade mark so the Trades Description Act is of no relevance.

Why would you want to pay for parking at Sandy Lane car park when you can park for free opposite. Handy for the indoor bowlers as well.

Click on this link to find out more about WTO terms of importing/exporting which is what the UK will  fall back on if there is a hard brexit. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-45112872 Info is useful for all of us not just those running import/export businesses.

I rest my case.

Racing industry in crisis and that is before brexit. A lot of trainers are scared stiff of what bexit might bring. For whose benefit are horses raced??????

It is a forum for Dawlish, but the last time I looked Dawlish was part of the UK and therefore everything about Brexit affects Dawlish.  So until we reach the 29th of March 2019 people have the right to debate and show concern for the part their town will be playing in Brexit.  Our MP is a Brexiteer and the more we hear about how the EU elite are trying to strip countries of their ability to self ...

I see May has been telephoning Merkel to plead for concessions in order to get her treasonous deal through parliament.  When it comes to these negotiations it is always Merkel calling the shots, never the Dutch, Spanish or any of the other leaders of EU member states.  Which just about sums up what the EU is all about. ...

Snowflake society? I don't think so! Riots on the streets more like.

You will die if you eat it and you will most certainly die if you don,t. I see bacon is not good for you, it can cause cancer.

A good day to invent new cocktails or succumb trying.

Existing budgets........where does that money come from? Why don't people get real and stop treating everybody else as bloody idiots.

IF , Burneside, IF. As Brexiters are so fond of saying -"this has never been done before" ergo - no-one knows what the legal status of the financial payment is. There are only opinions. BTW I have no difficulty whatsoever about getting my head around the consequences of us leaving the EU without a deal.

Prepare for an influx of (so called) Celebrities wanting to help.
