Anything is possible DEE but you have to admit the town is a mess. I walk my dogs and if i happen to forget poop bags I go back and get them, mind you there have been occaisions that i have forgot but gone back out to pick it up.

@Daina Mond (Mrs C), your post wasn't subtle in the least, that's why it was nasty. Your subsequent post is the subtle version, perhaps you ought to look up the meaning of subtle! And, I think you have got the wrong end of the stick, again, I don't think anyone has said people don't take their kids to Teignmouth and Paignton to the play parks, in fact we know they do! Lynne's post is asking the ...

Very nice pics of the Warren there, DEEDOODLE, well done.

A HOLIDAYMAKER has been jailed for sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl in a Jacuzzi at a Dawlish Warren holiday park. Former local government officer Paul Ridgway was detained by police at the Welcome Holiday Park after the young victim told her mother ’the man made me put my hand on his winkie’.

No! you are not being obtuse. I should have made it clearer thus:- The law only applies to those that are able to apply it. If they decide not to apply the law, then who else can? If the parking services decide to ignore the PCN issued to certain people (and it is there right to do so) They call it using their discretion. Who is going to challenge that decision?

The biggest lie I have heard from Theresa May in her conference speech. Our national debt is the lowest it has ever been BUT:- The UK national debt has risen by £555 billion since 2010 under ... And 2bn of that went to the DUP to support keeping the CONS in power So is it a misleading statement or what?

Very suspicious and nothing can or will be done about it either, that's the sad thing.

Victim Neil Warner was temporarily blinded and suffered serious eye injuries after being attacked as he walked a few hundred yards to a post office from the Costcutter shop he managed in Dawlish He was attacked by two men, one wearing a balaclava and the other with a scarf over his face, after they had lain in wait for him on his route, a trial at Exeter Crown Court was told.

Not being a serial complainer, I can only go by my single experience with them, and that was faultless in terms of communication, timeliness and execution.  Bridleway 3 was cleared within a fortnight of me highlighting the issue - in my opinion you can’t say fairer than that.

I have just looked at the Agendaa for the Council meeting on Wednesday 4 Oct and noted the item in the agenda regarding the Memorial Garden : '13 Memorial Garden - To note that the Civic Amenities Committee validated the figures and accepted the updated report by the Town Clerk (attached) and to decide if the lease should be renewed. Members briefing paper to follow. ' This is a travesty! Again ...

An inquest into his death was held in Torquay on Tuesday – less than three months after an inquest into the death of his brother, 38-year-old Damian Pearce, of Dawlish, who died of a drug overdose on May ...

Now Angela Merkel is in government with a  far right party. Her position is not so secure as it was yesterday. The  leaders of other the Europe countries should be worried of  how they make the British grovel over Brexit. I do hope the people in this country do not forget the people who are negotiating the withdraw on the European side.

It is not a promise. We would like this to happen but is not possible at the moment.  Oh yeh?

Here's another recipe for you Deedoodle. http://notesfromthevegpatch.com/cow-pat-cakes/

Even though only 680 residents responded, given what is being claimed from that figure (that 77% of Dawlish residents are in support of there being a playpark on the lawn) I think it is important that we have a breakdown of how those 680 residents answered the questions. For example, if I had participated in the questionnaire and had voted  Yes to question 1 and Yes to question 3 would my opinion ...

Developers have appealed against the refusal of plans for three new luxury homes that were turned down after councillors raised serious concerns about the possibility of the Dawlish railway line being cut off again for months. The site, halfway between Dawlish and Teignmouth, is close to the South West Cliff Path, and also overhangs the railway line. Read more... ...

It would have been more interesting if The Mayor had been sitting with them, enjoying a spliff and a can of Special Brew.

@"Diana Mond" - Why the totally unnecessary technology jibe?  You can change your alias as often as you like, but we all know who you are.

Flo, it's vindictive that some people want her out of a job just because she supports the creation of this playpark. Especially given all the wonderful work she has done for our town.  She's a real person with real bills to pay - it's a shame that some people (not you) can't make a distinction between how they act in the real world and how they behave in their online world.

Well let's hope the rent is paid and that no more trees are felled in that area.

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.

Fire crews from Dawlish and the animal rescue team from Exmouth were called out to Dawlish Warren at 8.33pm on Friday. Read more... http://www.devonlive.com/news/devon-news/dog-rescued-after-getting-stuck-485966

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 TDC ...

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
