Motorists are being urged to be on their guard after what police have described as an 'organised' spate of vehicle crime. Police have urged car owners in Teignbridge to clean out their cars after the wave of vehicle-related crime. And it is thought that travelling criminals may be coming from outside the district to raid cars. They are also targeting people who are parking their cars and hiding ...

Hopefully yes.

We're at home to Elmore in the F.A. Cup, and then if we win we're away to Bridport or Keynsham. All very do-able! However, the mighty Lish would then have the plum draw of the First Qualifying Round - away to Truro City!!! The FA Vase is altogether more sedate for the Seasiders - a home tie in the First Round proper against Elmore (again!) or Liskeard.

Work on the state-of-the-art Integrated Youth Centre for Dawlish will be marked by an official Turf Cutting Ceremony next week (Mon 6 July) at Sandy Lane, Dawlish. The new centre is the result of a funding package in the region of £3million, from Devon County Council, the Big Lottery Fund and Dawlish Town Council. Teignbridge District Council has provided the land for the development. Local young ...

Whooooooooooooooooosh, right over Viaduct's head. Like I clearly said, I think it's funny that some people used to think that Roy and Viaduct were one and the same. As ever you can't see the point, probably due to the froth getting in your eyes.

What a lovely heart-warming story that is on the front page of this website. Well done to the waterfowl warden Derek Porter. And to think that some wanted rid of him!

I aint sayin nuffink.

Thanks for the information mate, I've checked out that link and there seems to be quite a lot of vacancies around and about. Cheers, much appreciated pal.

Well done to the TDC members who have kept costs for 2008/09 down to an absolute minimum. It's good to see them working hard to provide council tax payers with value for money. Praise where praise is due, I say. The swines at the Westminster trough could learn a lesson from our councillors.

The cost of running Teignbridge Council has risen by just £3,000 as councillors share cars and hunt for bargains to save tax payers money. The figures for 2008 to 2009 show the total cost, including basic allowances, special responsibility allowance, travel and food, rose by £3,299 from 2007 to 2008. In the same period, Torbay Council's bill rose by £19,700. Teignbridge Council leader Alan Connett ...

New Dawlish Town boss Jeff Evans believes taking charge of the Toolstation Premier club will be the biggest challenge in his 30-year managerial career. Bristol-based Evans was confirmed as the new manager at Sandy Lane yesterday after meeting the club's committee and players on Tuesday night. He said he had even shelved retirement plans to accept the challenge of building on the Seasiders' ...

What happens if the sea does go as high as they say it will? The sea levels won't rise by that much for at least another 100 years. By then, our descendents will all be travelling on longer journeys, for example to get to the tropical beach holiday destination The Orkneys, aboard magnetically levitated trains. Short journeys, e.g. to pick up the pension from the Red Rock Post Office, will be via ...

There's your answer Dawlishdame. He will never admit to being wrong - it's an unfortunate trait in many of his generation. And as for the irony of the fairytale spreading, libelous **** daring to ask others for evidence to back up their claims, well it's probably gone straight over the head of the saddo.

TRANSPORT campaigners have called for an alternative to the Westcountry's vulnerable coastal rail track after the Government's warning on rising sea levels. Train journeys past the crumbling Dawlish sea wall in South Devon on the region's mainline are routinely blighted by extreme storms and high tides. Following predictions that sea levels in the Westcountry could rise by 40cm (16in) by the ...

I also think that there is a lot of merit in moving it to the Friday. I'd also like to congratulate the committee for all their hard work.

Sounds like fun - did you do the char-char-char? I quite fancy having some pole dancing lessons - does anyone know where I can see such a class in action before I decide whether to join up? Thanks.

Well done to the Marine Tavern!!! Not only do they sells good ale to swill down the chips, but they also does the best pizzas in town!!! And the barmaids not bad either!!! Just don't tell the Gurt I said that!!! See you in the best pub in Dawlish later on!!! Back to wrecking me ansomes!!!

I always thought that this country followed the principle of "innocent until proven guilty"?? I mean, I suspect that many people who post on here are complete and utter teeds, however that doesn't mean that I take it upon myself to physically assault them. So, love, if you want to act as a self-appointed judge and jury, then you shouldn't whinge when the real arms of the law wrap their long arms ...

I hope you will all want to join me in passing on our condolences to the family of Brian Heath, chairman of the Dawlish Carnival. Brian sadly passed away at the weekend.

LOVING tributes have been paid to the chairman of one of Devon's biggest summer festivals after he lost his battle with cancer. Dawlish Carnival Committee chairman Brian Heath, of Upper Longlands, died in Dawlish Hospital on Sunday aged 68. Affectionately known as 'grandad' to carnival royalty, Mr Heath played a key role in putting on the carnival's air show which draws thousands of visitors to ...

It has emerged that one of the four cygnets born to the famous black swans of Dawlish this year owes its life to waterfowl warden Derek Porter, who gave the young swan the kiss of life after it almost drowned. Derek, 49, was clearing out the chick pen at the bird enclosure on the Brook last month when someone knocked on the window saying the seven-week-old cygnet was in trouble. Further upstream ...

Attracting crowds of almost 100,000 people, the Dawlish Carnival in South Devon, 15 – 22 August, is an eight-day extravaganza with around twelve hours of entertainment each day. The week’s highlight will be a fantastic Air Show on Thursday, 20 August, which is recognised as one of the UK’s largest free events. The carnival week will incorporate a huge array of attractions and activities from ...

Tesco and Sainsbury's are set for a High Court showdown over plans for a new store in Dawlish, Devon. Judge Mr Justice Burnett yesterday gave the go-ahead for the owners of the Lady's Mile holiday park site to join Tesco in challenging the grant of planning permission for Sainsbury's to build a new supermarket on a rival site at Shutterton Bridge. The judge granted Alfred and Joan Jeffery ...

More chip shops too lol!

Oh how they so quickly forget how the Tories truly fucked this country...

Well done to Paula Black, who won the Totnes Rural Division for the Green Party.

I see that Great Uncle Bulgaria and Bungo are helping us to clear our beaches of rubbish. TDC staff teamed up with the Wombles to promote the campaign which started yesterday and will run until the end of June. Is anybody who posts on here going to be giving a helping hand down at Dawlish Warren, or are we all Orinoco's?

Busy catching up with the news, I see that one that surprisingly slipped through the net on here is the praise that Wally Protheroe has received for raising over £2000 for charity. I quote: Retired Mayor of Dawlish Wally Protheroe has been praised by a charity for raising more than £2,000. Cllr Protheroe nominated The Helen Foundation as his charity of choice for his year of office. Set up in ...

HALF-TERM beach safety at Teignmouth and Dawlish now is the hands of RNLI lifeguard teams. The charity is now providing safety cover at Teignmouth and Dawlish Warren after the service was handed over by Teignbridge Council in March. Teams started on Saturday and are to patrol each beach every day from 10am until 6pm during the half-term school holiday. The lifeguards will patrol the beaches on ...

You obviously have never heard of the "Campbell Collaboration" and are unaware of their prejudices. According to the Home Office, the provisional budget for all UK police forces in 2010/11 is £4.8 billion. While the police spend that money on many useful and necessary activities, they also waste a considerable amount of that money placating the public (bobbies walking the beat, for instance). Even ...

A dental technician, hoping to sell his home in Devon in an online raffle, has delayed the draw until July. Stephen Sickelmore, 49, and his wife, Caroline, are raffling their seaside home in the hope of raising the £490,000 it was originally on the market for. Tickets cost £25 each, and the winner will also get other benefits including their stamp duty paid, legal fees and a contribution towards ...

Is Teignbridge DC not our Council? Oh silly me, I forgot that the Electoral Commission has moved us to North Yorkshire...

Nice play on words there Don. Seriously though, despite what people justifiably think about the Westminster pigs with their snouts in the trough, far too many people have lost their lives over the years whilst fighting for democracy for me to be apathetic about voting. I shall be voting, and urge others not to forego their right to vote. Please use it wisely though and please don't validate the ...

Almost £20,000 will be spent on access to Dawlish Warren to improve safety and encourage visitors to the seaside resort. Land owner Teignbridge Council is to carry out the works which will see improvements to the railway tunnel approach, traffic calming and clearer pedestrian routes. Work will start on Tuesday and is scheduled to be completed by Friday, May 22 in time for the busy Whitsun Bank ...

I know that you hate answering questions, but what was this other source that you so mysteriously refer to? Do you agree that this is great news for Dawlish?

A seaside town is to keep its famous black swans after agreeing an action plan to eradicate fears over water pollution. Dawlish Town Council keeps 14 swans on the brook at Brunswick Place, as well as about 50 ornamental waterfowl which are not indigenous to Britain. The swans, which are more commonly found in New Zealand and Australia, and the other birds have proved a lucrative tourist attraction ...

So what job are you employed in then? Going by your suggestion as to what you enjoy doing with your walking stick, I think that you might be the oldest rent boy in town.

The hostel, plus ones in Exmouth and Teignmouth, were set up by the Habonim Jewish youth movement. Other than the above, I can't find any more precise information on this interesting subject.

Typical of User4549, butting into other peoples conversations. Typical of a busybody with more time on their hands than they know what to do with. It's a pity that you and your kind aren't spending their dotage by being more constructive instead of being so destructive with their tedious negativity. Water Fowl Warden. What's your point? A tribunal was set up and the findings were published and ...
