Just took a walk over the fields and saw the new build near completion, very nice if you can afford it. Certainly an improvement on what it replaced.

I've been away for a while and have had restricted access to emails which may account for the fact that I missed reading this response from an officer at TDC sent to me the day after my letter was published in the Gazette. Here is part of the TDC email response. It gives answers to my questions of 1) who owns the countryside park and 2) who would be paying for its maintenance. It seems that ...

If anyone is intersted, the point to points that were scheduled at Black Forest. Two have gone to Ottry st Mary and one has gone to Tavistock. Ottery 19th Nov 2017 and 14th April 2018. Not sure of the date at Tavistock.

Since January work has included removing stone-filled gabion baskets from the Warren. The timber groynes have been refurbished, extended and replaced along the Warren to help hold sand. See more... http://www.devonlive.com/news/devon-news/how-much-more-sand-dawlish-479819

So glad I get up every day to go to work in order to pay taxes, that then get sent to a pariah state.

A DevonLive campaign to save direct train services linking the north and the Midlands to Devon's holiday resorts has succeeded in saving the trains - for now. More than 1,000 people signed our petition after Cross Country announced their plans to axe services. The plans would have seen all but one Cross Country Trains service from Paignton axed. The only remaining service to stop at Dawlish, ...

Great pics DEEDOODLE. Today i saw a swimmer in the sea. Also i think the brook needs dredging.

There were indeed many plans for Dawlish during the years, a new bandstand - in 2000 and again a few years ago. Sculptors along the sea front, pontoons, a resturant along the breakwater, landscaped gardens at the manor, a land train, dredging of the whole brook.....along many more.....but the council has lost all those willing to push new ideas, because those who werent called the shots, and had ...

Margaret dont take life so seriously it was a bit of fun and in the past i have taken my fair share of nasty comments but hey it would take more than anything that happens on here to upset me its only banter at its worse

Well here we are at long last THE GLORIOUS SIXTH kids are all back to School most of the visitors have departed isn't it just GLORIOUS. And just to remind you all its only 109 days to Christmas.

@leatash I saw all the feathers along the pavement and wondered what had happened.

They are still there although muddy and wet.

Every CEO gets too much look at Phillip Green  And people do hand down clothes, if you're lucky enough to know  anyone with children.  All CEOs are overpaid look at Phillip Green the point is the charity gets money. Life isn't fair I learnt that at an early age.

WHO postpned the opening, will the Dawlish Countryside Park be closed each time it rains. Buy some weather gear and go out,  up on the Farm I have to go out every day.

As I walked through town yesterday there was a police officer (female) sat on the bench where we would normally see the alcoholics, obviously she was on her own. As I carried on my way home I came across four of the alcoholics sat on the bench above the beach manager's hut merrily drinking their day away! I wonder how long she sat there thinking she was doing a good job?

Proof of the pudding! time will tell. Gallons of water used in testing, scarey!!!!!!!!!!!! Will be stopping at Dawlish?

My point is it hasnt been sorted in 20 years so its likely to be the same for the next 20 years.

The life of former Newton Abbot Racecourse employee, Lauren Scott, was celebrated at the course on Tuesday with a memorial race day in her honour. Read more ...

@Daverc - appreciated.

What is it?

Not me. I have seen them so many times, I have lost interest in looking out for them.

Taken it too. But what a load of rubbish. It even can't help itself but to contine to mention Newton Abbot everywhere within in it. Oh well. Did my bit.

@webmaster , certainly didn't come across that way, now if you're dawlish born and bred, or even from the town, you'll know like me the town is built on the bickering foundation trust. no one will win there i'm afraid. but my points and observation still stands, more so this is a thread about the carnival week just gone, not much about it yet....

Well i witnessed a plain car pulling a van driver on Exeter Road only yesterday and you are aware with a photo or dashcam footage you can report any driver to the Police.

An animal lover has spoken about her joy after being reunited with her pet skunk which went missing during a camping trip in North Devon. After having no luck finding Dottie, Sarah returned to Dawlish on Monday, July 3. She described going home without her skunk as "very difficult". Sarah had previously told Devon Live that she had hopes that her clairvoyant friend, Becky Willoughby, could ...

But the point is that with the free movement agreement between the RoI and the UK, the UK will not necessarily know who has entered the UK and who has left it. We may know, courtesy of the Irish border authorities, who has entered the Republic via their official passport controls,  but how will we know whether or not those people have consequently travelled into the UK? And remember that a lot ...

Park Holidays UK, which owns 26 holiday parks in Southern and Western England, said the quick fire sales, which were first piloted in 2016, will enable the business to make big savings in administration costs. A three-night stay for six at Golden Sands holiday park in Dawlish, Devon, sold originally for £658.00 earlier this year, however it's now been discounted by 60% to £269.00. Read ...

I don't know to how many generations back it applies but certainly to some extent if you can trace that you are descended from an Irish citizen you may be able to claim a Republic of Ireland passport and then have dual British/Irish nationality. And it certainly seems that if you were born in a certain part of the UK, namely Northern Ireland, that not only can you presently claim dual ...

She'll be gone by next year so one less thing to worry about.

Last Thursday and we are hearing about it NOW! I am registered with the police neighbourhood alert e-mail thingy that is supposed to alert people to the dodgey things going on locally and this wasn't one of them that I received. Would it not have been worth advising local people of this incident on thursday/friday. Do they think that we are are to delicate to hear of what obnoxious, evil little ...

Yes i could live in Scotland but would have to return south during midge season.

Lovley Pic's ZIGGY DEEDOODLE you were up early well done you.
