A HOMELESS Dawlish man driven by jealousy went to a woman's house and smashed a glass in her friend's face, a court has been told. Stephen Green, 33, was so drunk he could not remember how or why he attacked Julian Whittle on October 30 last year. Exeter Crown Court was told moments after the attack he was seen by the woman standing over his bleeding victim swearing and telling him to 'get ...

"Lack of Funds and Support". Surely it wouldn't have anything to do with Ms Farley having a go at 'Outsiders' would it?

FORCE offer a range of practical services for people with cancer, and their carers, at RDE hospital. I found them very helpful and supportive when I was nursing relatives through this dreadful disease. RDE hospital run oncology trials that are funded through research grants supplied by major charities, often in association with the University of Exeter. Having worked professionally in medical ...

Would have loved to see that.

Dawlish residents are being given the opportunity to take their furry friends out for the day, with classes for hamsters, rabbits and rodents running in the town. The Southern Hamster Club is behind the rather unusual event, which will take place at St Mary's Church Hall in Dawlish Warren on Saturday. Read on... ...

Quite simply, roberta, I don't think it fair that certain sections of society get stung with inordinately high taxes when others pay little, or no tax at all.

I'm positive there's people who can do this.  David Force seems to be involved and I think perfectly capable, especially with the enthusiasm of the town behind him.  I think to say that people in Dawlish have little knowledge of how to organise something like this is putting down what a lot of people do and used to do in their work lives as well as involvement with other events. If the current ...

Sorry Leatash and Carer but your localism lets you down here. Having worked recovery on the M62 in my younger days I would say its a very worthy case for investment and improvement. Its the only East to West connection capable of maintaining the carraige of goods across that part of the country and onward down to the Midlands and South West. In the Winter months its the only route across country ...

Drugs, Dawlish,,,, what a shocker, who would have thought it, not. From the rumours I have heard drugs/alcohol linked to social issues in Dawlish has been going on for decades.

Yes FB I think you are right. I've tried phoning around a few places and also asking in some of the charity shops here and in T'mouth but no-one wants them. Thanks for the offer of a machine to play them on but we've got one, kept so that daughter can play the videos of herself made when she was much younger. We are in the process of converting those videos of her childhood to dvds. I've ...

My sincerest condolences to family and friends. R.I.P Anthony.

The problem is that Police traffic powers ie on minor offences have been watered down the PCSOs have had there traffic powers removed and it was in there remit to deal with cyclists,obstructions etc so now there is no one and peeople know it thats drivers and cyclists alike. The idea was that the CEOs dealt with these things but one they haven't the man power, consider we see one in Dawlish 3 or 4 ...

It's interesting to note that Americans have found this website!

Yes and we know where all these units will be destined for when the North gets rid of them - the west country!

As there has been talk on here about the narrowing of the A379 main road in Dawlish I thought I would start a new thread about the above. The road at Countess Weir, because it needs widening, will be reduced to single lane traffic for the next 62 weeks so that the necessary roadworks can take place. That road is always nose to tail at rush hours throughout the year and on Saturdays and bank ...

The suspect was subsequently arrested and taken to custody. Fantastic team work and ...
