I think a large bin is needed at entrance from Lanhern towards the town. A few other pics: Demolition started at Tucks Plot.

See page 2 of Dawlish Gazette. The outside services team has recommended something more transparent and robust which would stop the skatepark becoming a den where people can hide away. Why have a fence at all Teignmouth and Brixham haven't not sure of any others.

It will be free to park on Sundays in TDC car parks at Teignmouth, Dawlish, Shaldon and Dawlish Warren from 5th November until Easter.

Maybe the best and safest place for the play park would be Sandy Lane. There are all the sporting facilities in that area e.g The skate park, Tennis courts, Football pitch, Astro turf, Bowling green and The leisure centre. A nice big colourfull sign pointing people in that direction would help also you can park in the car park all day for £1.50 which has toilets. I can understand the traders ...

@Gloria , oh how i wish i had a camera like deedoodles and maybe my pics would be has good as (his/hers)

The new cygnets attracting a lot of attention.
