thanks @ken

Good work Deepurrfrontera! I only ever visit dawlish.com in order to read your posts about Teignmouth.

@Paul i'd stay indoors if i were you.

@leatash you're right about Dawlish. Perhaps the town has the council it deserves.

A Devon man who was paralysed from the chest down as a result of a motorbike accident was found in his bed by his carer after he took his own life, an inquest has heard.

Yet another TDC fiasco. When are the tax payers of Teignbridge going to do something about this incompetent joke of a district authority. A public vote of no confidence needs to be raised asap.

@Carer - perhaps you should have gone to specsavers! the areas I have been to are blighted by these hideous pieces of useless equipment and, no, I would not like to see our beautiful coast ruined by them.

Rumour has it that the CEO of Teignbridge District Council is leaving her post after the general election and is not being replaced. Thats a cool saving of £125,000 plus per year. All we need now is for a few more of    the nose in trough so called executives to go, and maybe a few of the less than useless councillors and we might be able to keep the public toilets open, mow the grass and even ...

@DEEDOOLE great pics, love the duck.

@ZIGGY who have i played games with, why do you accuse me of being a troll? care to substantiate your claims?

Carlos do Rosario faces deportation to Portugal after a judge told him he had caused psychological damage to the girl, who has a history of self harming. He had sex with the girl on two occasions at his home in Dawlish before the girl wrote a Facebook message to a schoolmate which revealed what was going on.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4494728/Labour-manifesto-plans-return-Britain-1970s.html Corbyn's wonderful plan to bankrupt the country. Still true today -

According to the local newspaper Linda and John Petherick have reported the reason leading to their resignations to the appropriate officer at Teignbridge District Council..

Plenty of houses along that road already and one that is right on the edge above Coryton Cove, a load of hype about nothing. If I'm reading it right the application was submitted Dec 2014 with a target date of 16/05/2017. Only one objection to this planning request by one of their neighbours. If you take into account some of the planning applications, that were not inkeeping with their ...

Anyone have inside pictures on whats happening here?

The alternative was Le Pen so it is 'vive la France'

@Indy Scot QED!

A UKIP supporter voting Tory isn't really tactical, it's more like a home-coming for the far-right.

former UKIP voters have Theresa May as their leader now.

@burnside. Fair point, I was only looking at the Newton Abbot constituency, it depends on how many Labour or Green supporters votes tactically for the Lib Dems versus how many UKIP supporters vote Tory, which is highly likely given Brexit. The rest of Devon looks like a blue-wash in waiting, bar Exeter. I don't dream of a Lib Dem victory, but that's the second worst option after the Tory ...

You looked at my profile? That's cute you still haven't explained why you have such a grudge against Cllr Wrigley

It is Westminster that needs to radically reform. Only then can we build a society that is socially, economically and environmentally progressive and fair. Brexit is just a vehicle for the right-wing agenda. Trade unionists and miners were the targets in the 1980s, now the targets are immigrants, asylum seekers and EU bureaucrats. But why not London bankers, rich CEOs and corrupt MPs? The ...

Man has done more damage to the wild life on this planet, perhaps this is a small way to protect some.

Now that parliament will be officially disolved this afternoon, will the MP's that are now, be signing on at their local job centre. After all, many will be without a job and I presume without pay until either they are re-elected or until they find another job. ?????????????????????????????? I wonder.

So the government has reluctanly decided not to appeal a decision by the courts that they must published the report on clean air and they have said they will publish before the 9th of May. So I can breath easier now
