six years in Langdon for trying to hold a conversation with a Duck. Mind you its probably not as bad as trying to get the truth out of TDC

So on reading todays Gutsache is seems Redrow have deliberaly tried to pull a fast one on Teignbridge and are now seeking discussions to talk their way out of their SANGS responsibility. Meanwhile the fence sitters at TDC are trying to blame Richard Weeks for not selling them his farm. Now if this had been you, me, or any other man in the street TDC would have been to court got an enforcement ...

Good to see the Farmers Market again on The Piazza. It will be there on the second Saturday of the month 10am-2pm for the next three months.

CHANGES have been made to the designs for a major beach management scheme designed to protect Dawlish Warren from flooding have been proposed. Following discussion with Natural England regarding the proposals to recharge sand on the landward side of the new defence at the neck of the sand spit at Dawlish Warren, a new landward neck dune enhancement scheme has been proposed.

Who cares about the financial implications of leaving, the biggest effect will  be on the EU side in any case. Just look at all the near bankrupt countries they are going to have to back up in the future, Greece, Spain, Italy etc. It will be the Euro that ultimatly fails, not the Pound. The biggest and most impotant issue with leaving will be a closing of the gates and the return to a closed ...

A judge has ordered a further psychiatric report on a man from North Devon who has admitted a serious assault in Dawlish. Darren O'Regan, 23, who is currently being treated at Langdon Hospital in Dawlish, has admitted causing grievous bodily harm in an attack in June last year. Read more.. ...

@S , hit it on the head....not!

@burneside I agree the Leave side should not be tarred with the UKIP brush. however, UKIP, in general, are a bunch of idiots!

The sacrifice and bravery of our forefathers in the battle to free Europe from a murderous regime will be forever in our hearts, despite the passing of the years. It is only natural to ponder what those who are no longer with us would have thought was the right thing to do for the ongoing security of our country. Victory in Europe should be remembered as that point in history when this ...

But it is a fallacy to believe one would lead to the other. Plus the next person would say the money spent subsidising carer's going swimming would be better spent on X.

A COMPROMISE by planners over a link road to help deliver 1,000 houses on the edge of Dawlish has been reached. Despite councillors expressing their concern at the fact construction traffic would still be diverted through Sandy Lane and Elm Grove Drive, they reluctantly accepted at Wednesday's planning meeting that the only viable way to deal with the issue is through a construction management ...

UPDATE ON THE DAWLISH LINK ROAD CAMPAIGN On Friday 27th May 2016, Dawlish town councillors were invited to attend a presentation from the Teignbridge District Council planning department: Simon Thornley, Alex Lessware, Phil Shears, and team. They explained the options for accelerating the building of the Link Road, that we are demanding, that they had explored. Three Dawlish town councillors ...

@ MV Well said. Also, being an outsider, I won't object to putting money into the new carnival collection boxes.

Liam Hill of Britain Stronger in Europe said "Our volunteers made their way to Starcross on both the Saturday and Sunday of Radio 1's Big Weekend to speak to voters about the importance of registering to vote and of voting Remain. "We were enthused by the large numbers of people who said they were already registered and understood the significance of the choice facing the country." In ...

Maybe they could put affordable houses there, so the children will not have to go far to get to school!  Or a new school building and have a split site?  Handy since DCC have ignored the call for another school near Sainsburys.  This means the remaining schools, all on bad roads will have more children and traffic put upon them, causing safety issues.  Will be interesting what they do use it for ...

Just wanted to share with you all my experience of the mobile butcher who visits the Car Boot on a Wednesday. He's the same guy as last year, excellent quality at fabulous prices.  (no I'm not on commission!) Thoroughly recommended.  He's there until 3pm today.

What about the lazy dog owners aka Cat owners

Found a bike in Dawlish yesterday. Anyone lost one?

Organisers of the Dawlish Celebrates Carnival have arranged for the Rampage Mas Band to take part in the procession on Friday, August 19. The parade will be part of a week of fun arranged to ensure the town has something to celebrate after Dawlish Carnival Committee announced it was unable to run the event his year. Read more... ...

FB. You've mentioned on here recently that you don't want to be a local politician. I think you should also make sure that you don't become a music critic. You're entitled to your opinion, but as someone there I can assure you that it wasn't mediocre. It was amazing. Granted I didn't see Meghan Trainor as she clashed with the awesome Twenty One Pilots. As for how much I spent. Well, the same as ...

Yes , just got back from there. It is BIZZZZZEEEEEEEEE

I'm not the one keeping this thread going...

Following the extreme weather at the beginning of 2014 which caused part of the railway line at Dawlish to collapse into the sea, Network Rail began working with residents on a study looking into the impact of coastal flooding, erosion and cliff instability on the route and the options available to limit the effects of these in the future.

Just seen that it's all clear. I'm surprised that those who moaned about the temporary inconvenience haven't piled in to offer their thanks on here...

Absolutely brilliant news, Flo. Well done to all those who have been working so hard behind the scenes to make this happen. Should get Carnival 2016 off to a flying start!

The management? Thanks for the heads up though. Will have to make sure I stock up on lifes essentials before then.

Leigham Court is fairly quiet.  It used to be full of elderly people who had bought the houses new in the early 70's but they are gradually dying or moving to nursing homes! There are now a couple of houses that are rented out, there are younger families moving in so there are now quite a few cars about. If you're looking at buying then make sure the roff is checked properly - they're flat and ...

Good to see them back again. Perhaps we will now get some summer!

Certainly the Smugglers gets booked up very early for Sundays; but then it's not in the town so maybe it wouldn't suit you best anyway.  I'd agree with S's suggestion of the Marine.

Frustration is mounting about the lack of Government support for Devon and Cornwall rail improvements, as ministers pledge billions of pounds for schemes in London. Exeter MP Ben Bradshaw said it was becoming "crystal clear" that the Government has "absolutely no intention of keeping its promises on rail investment in the South West". Responding to the concerns, rail minister Claire Perry ...

It would seem that nobody's perfect, Purrrrrfect. I refer to S's thread of the 18th May at 11:58 above: 'What are those sheds/dumping ground? Does it look like that now?'

On the compulsory purchase bit of this bill: The government is going to reform the CPO process so that landowners receive today's market value of property, rather than its future value. Which would mean that landowners, farmers, and individual property owners could see their compensation fall significantly under the new compulsory purchase orders. So.....no point in buying farms and ...
