@Lynne , a few years ago we tried to return various items of rehab equipment my mum needed following a few falls due to postural hypertension. we tried barton surgery, dawlish hospital and torbay nhs trust. eventually we were told that it is not cost effective to collect these items and to give them to a charity shop! which we did. so...........not only do we have a throw away society, we also ...

It strikes me that those who cry they should be allowed Freedom of Speech, rarely seem to want to extend the same privileges to those with an opposite view to their own.

He really has missed his calling as a thespian, who can forget his performance the morning after Diana died.

Why are they planning a new visitor centre at the Warren when I thought they had to have a SANGS at Warren Farm so that people didn't visit the Warren. Anyone?

No problem MV, I was involved and so had all the info to hand. There was 64 bands in 11 pubs and the Marquee and everyone I've spoken to seemed to have had a great time. I can't wait for Dawlish Music Festival 2017

Arriving back from a stay in Torbay Hospital yesterday, which by the way was excellent with kind and caring staff, I noticed that the NatWest Bank is still vacant. Does anyone know who has bought the property?

The Dawlish carnival week is shaping up to be a great week. Lots of local people have pledged their time to support the activities so I do hope the town gets behind this venture and it is a great success.

The Tory governement aren't going to support the same areas as the EU. There was a reason why these areas got their funding from the EU in the first place!

Conservative MP for Central Devon, Mel Stride has a very interesting article on page 10 of the Dawlish Gazette. He campaigned for Remain. I never thought I would say this but.............I do so agree with what he says. More than that. I have e-mailed him telling him that I agree with him. (!). Do read the article.

Say we have 20 million households to give this million to that would cost 20,000,000 x 1,000,000 = 20,000,000,000,000. That is 20000 billion! The majority of the country would have no incentive to work if they had a million pounds in the bank also suddenly the cost of things would go up etc. It is a crazy idea :-)

People keep going on about Corbyn being unelectable but I don't see any Tory MP who I think could lead the country and lead us through these difficult times. I am sure not any will have those who voted to leave's best interests at heart when negotiating our departure from the EU. Unless someone comes through suddenly I don't see Johnson, Osbourne or May as that person. There is already ...

The LibDems were massacred at the last general election and now have only seven MPS, to put this kind of foolishness in their manifesto will see their number drop to zero. But that's the LibDems for you, utterly irrelevant.

How weird, I assume Mrs C is referring to me but I am not sure who she thinks I am or what I do. I think my comment above is apt and needs to be urgently put in place!

Also, there are many of our more experienced, senior, skilled workers who have not been able to get on to building sites due to the current constraints around CSCS cards which for some require apprenticeship or NVQ which after 30+ years of doing and running some of these jobs is and has been an insult. So, most of these individuals have either changed occupation, gone into early retirement or just ...

TDC knew about the breach of the S106 condition before it was reported in the Gazette (and I definitely know that for a fact). I've just gotten back from Donald Trump land so when I've gotten over my jet lag and we have all gotten over the referendum I'll probably drop TDC another email to see what they say about the enforcement. I did wonder to myself if Redrow had suspended the selling ...
