The UK, overall, may not have voted for Brexit. That's what may have been different.

More reason's why there should be a levy placed on those can's. How about 20p per can refunded when you take the can back.

The four month old black Labrador was off the lead when it fell at Polzeath, just over the border in Cornwall, on Saturday morning. And the Exmouth Lifeboat was called out and crew members had to enter the water to rescue a dog trapped on a ledge at Langstone Rock, Dawlish Warren – the third time in two months crews have had to rescue a dog from that location.

Remember why the independant voices for Dawlish ousted the last lot of snowflakes we had on DTC and TDC next thing will be Younger-Ross back on his soap box. Not saying the Con-servatives are any better, just supose we have to be gratefull we dont have any of Corbyns clowns around here

Looks like they’ve got away with it as well. Disgusting.

We should always commemorate and remember fallen and non fallen heroes, and if the beacon was made for a reason it should be used, looked after and maintained for the reason. I fear there is so much in Dawlish that could make Dawlish so pretty, that just goes amiss. Will Cllr Wrigley also ask for the removal of the Christmas Tree dumped in the manor grounds and ask why the area is not being ...

My daughter was evacuated from a student block in Swansea.

I do hope Censi’s come back, they were brilliant and really did increase footfall to the beach. The Tuesday Pizza evenings were also very popular.

Change the record Mond.

Thank you Lynne for making the link easier for others.  I just wanted to point out that the deal is not done and dusted as the Council are trying to portray, they have to go back to the landowners/developers and broker a deal which makes the sites viable.  You can see that there are issues on viability since Langdon is still for sale on KLP Planning's website.  This site was offered just after it ...

At least Dawlish Town Council is 8 Conservatives and 8 others, so decisions will not be a done deal and will be decided through discussion and not by towing the party line. The below was copied from the updated councillors page at TDC showing the political composition now with Cllr Wrigley on the list: Council composition The council consists of 46 Councillors who represent 25 electoral wards. The ...

Dawlish crew didn't attend as it was two minutes before the end of siesta.

To be serious for a moment. Think on this. If. for the sake of arguement, part of the present CW did have a name change then I wonder how that might impact on the ability of those living there to get things like credit cards/open bank accounts/get passports etc. I haven't needed to open anything like that for ages but I seem to vaguely recall that you get asked how long you have been living at ...

plod, the circles are of your own making. Good old Dusty, I think you will find these few words just apt. Like a circle in a spiral Like a wheel within a wheel Never ending or beginning On an ever spinning reel Like a snowball down a mountain Or a carnival balloon Like a carousel that's turning Running rings around the moon Like a clock whose hands are sweeping Past the minutes of it's face And ...

How anyone could drink coffee or tea from anything other than a Royal Albert bone china cup , I fail to see.

More info (leaflet just come through the letterbox) Sandy Lane will be closed to vehicles throughout the duration of the works. If you have a vehicle or vehicles on Exeter Road please remove them whilst the works are in progress (any remaining vehicles may be towed away). If you live on Exeter Road there maybe times when access to/from your driveway may not be possible. Works will generally take ...

The bits I hear in the Devon news article are:- restrict dog walkers cctv to assist in the enforcement of penalties for disobeying rules control substantially cut the number of winter visitors, but at the same time make those who do make the effort pay through the nose for parking. Then to top it off build a million pound plus visitor center which goes against the whole point of NOT disturbing the ...

So.......to get back to the original topic of this thread - the link road (although I accept that there is a Sainsbury's link (ouch!)). Anyway.......to get back to the original topic of this thread, I see from the report in the Gazette that no date has been given as to when this road will be built.

Yes. But......... there is also the issue of equal pay for work of equal value. ie not necessarily doing the same job but one that should be paid the same amount as a job being done by a man/men because although both jobs may be different the amount of skill, qualifications etc required to do both jobs are comparable. Employers must pay men and women equally if they are doing 'like work ', which ...

What is deemed to be dirty and what is not varies from culture to culture. We have dogs in our houses and treat them like members of the family., Some people not only let them on their furniture but also on their beds. Other cultures don't see dogs as pets (but as food) and others see them as being dirty creatures that should not be allowed anywhere near the inside of a home. Cows are sacred ...
