In the same (overheard by me) conversation one of the women concerned stated that at 63 her husband could now claim pension credit. Well yes, so he might but that doesn't mean that it is at age 63 that all can do so because again who becomes eligible for what and when depends on date of birth and how that ties in with when women of the same date of birth reach their state pension age. Hope the ...
This is all tied in with the state pension age and, more to the point, the state pension age for women. I know I've another thread going on about the rising state pension age for women (see https://www.dawlish.com/thread/details/45135 ) but I thought to start a separate thread about the bus pass issue because of what I overheard in a Dawlish shop the other day. One woman to another woman "Oh my ...
No, probably just stay in Dawlish. How do you know that Donald Trump is an idiot, have you met him?

All business owners in the Teignmouth, Dawlish and Newton Abbot areas, please be alert to a male attempting to distract staff in shops and then attempting to steal money from the till. The male is distracting shop staff with stories involving his mother who had left something in the store and requesting staff to help look for it. When vacating the till area, he will attempting to gain access to ...
Perhaps, like me, people have been deliberately put off using telephone boxes. I had to use one on Exeter St David's Station a few years ago when I left home without my mobile phone and was away for three or four days so really did need it. This was before I had a dongle for my iPad and GWR provided wifi. I entered the phone box with change in hand only to find, due to the limited coinage it would ...
NEW statistics on bathing water quality reveal England's favourite swimming spots are the cleanest they've been since records began. In Teignbridge Dawlish Warren, Dawlish Town, Coryton Cove, Holcombe, Shaldon and Ness Cove have been rated 'Excellent' and Teignmouth Town 'Good'. Read more... ...

Shame they cant add a few of the Lab/Lib traitors still in this country
Nice pic's .
I have no idea why they said that but the outcome is that whilst the result of the referendum is not legally binding, politically it is.
If you look at my post I said that new trade deals may carry with them a clause allowing movement of people into this country not that any new trade deals would have to do so.
I have been informed today, in a letter from The Trutees of The Snooky Trust that they will be winding their operation down at Christmas. I will be lookng for another charity, preferably local, to support from the sale of my books, "In the Roots" and "Visitors". I have two more being published soon. All suggestions will be considerd.
Justin Hart and Samantha Euridge have been employed on behalf of the South East Devon Habitat Regulations Partnership of Teignbridge, Exeter and East Devon Councils, which was set up earlier this year to off-set the effects of new developments and population growth on protected conservation sites, for future generations to enjoy.

The collapse of the rail line at Dawlish had disastrous consequences for commuters and the South Devon economy. With the government under new leadership it was important to hear the unequivocal support for a resilient rail link to South Devon and beyond. The minister came to see the challenges at Teignmouth and Dawlish for himself and I was glad to have the opportunity to highlight how important ...
The water provider for Cornwall and Devon is facing a £1.7 million fine from Britain's water regulator over "serious wastewater pollution incidents". The incidents took place at Fistral and Looe in Cornwall and Combe Martin, Sandy Bay and Dawlish in Devon. Read more... ...
I work for a professional firework firm, ( yes it's a busy time of year!) And we have our own public liability insurance etc, so putting on a professional display shouldn't be much of an insurance issue for the council. I appreciate there may be other considerations and insurance policies to be paid for at staging any event, but the actual display itself wouldn't be an issue. maybe it's a lack of ...
A 70 tonne demolition machine called a high reach excavator arrives on Cathedral Green in Exeter to work at the Royal Clarence Hotel early on Tuesday morning. It was a slow and careful operation. Meanwhile an aerial fire platform was still pumping water into hotspots in the hotel.

lovely walk along the water in Teignmouth this Sunday. Although I think some people were taking a bit of a risk overloading there dinghy. Just after they moored up a boat went passed, at speed, sending large waves in their direction which would have certainly sunk their tiny craft.
Anyone else seen these on any other part of the coast this weekend. Watched a documentary a while ago on plastic polluting the sea's and killing loads of marine life.
A JUDGE has adjourned sentencing South West Water for discharging polluted matter into Dawlish Brook. The court heard that South West Water had admitted failing to comply with conditions of their consent to discharge issued by the Environment Agency in respect of Dawlish Brook, Brook Street, Dawlish, by discharging polluting matter into an inland fresh water on August 28, 2015.

I thought the coach park was planned for the other side?
Walking past the brook outlet last night and i noticed the brook has been cleared on the sea side of the outlet. Although it is still backed up only a few feet back up the brook. What is it with people these days, always a half hearted attempt at most things. Once upon a time people had pride in their work.
I don't disagree with you Pete (I think should only be available through prescription after training and should be insured) but the The Equality Act 2010 calls this the duty to make reasonable adjustments network rail could be compelled to make it a ccessible

Government said it has no plans for a new Royal Yacht. Really stupid, they clearly have no idea about the country they are supposed to run. Missed an excellent opportunity there, very sad and very silly.
Then how long before it is either sold off or demolished?
@ZIGGY - seems to be an epidemic, especially as we get towards xmas.
A rather misleading headline and as Deedoodle says, it it the weather that is to blame and not what one would expect from the headline, mindless vandalism. Let's hope something is done about it ASAP so that it is in pristine condition for this years RBL Remembrance Parade on Suday November 13th.
Dear oh dear oh dear. Couldn't happen to a nicer chap. (He went to my old school so I can say things like that.)
Teignmouth and Dawlish Neighbourhood Police said a number of potential victims had reported the scam email to Action Fraud on Thursday morning. In reality the website has been set up to look authentic but the form steals victim's bank details, giving the fraudsters the chance to steal the victim's savings. Read more.. ...
In my opinion, the railway collapse at Dawlish was purely down to the railway companies lack of maintenance to the sea wall. You only have to walk along the beach from Dawlish to the Warren to see large, deep cracks and base sections of concrete that have worn away along the sea wall below the railway line. British rail was not purchased by private companies to make a better and more reliable ...
